Bydgoszcz, Solo travel
I'm studying here. Very pretty city, I feel really safe. I've been here 7 months now and had no problems so far. There are organized many attractions, seasonal such as a Christmas Market etc. There is an opera here as well.

Overall, it was a very nice experience. I arrived very early in the morning, so it was still dark, but the city felt safe and calm. The streets were quiet and peaceful. I walked around until midday and people were kind, relaxed, and helpful. One person even stopped to chat with me, which made the experience feel very welcoming.

Gdansk
Gdańsk is generally a very safe city. I have lived here most of my life and I feel comfortable walking around both during the day and in the evening. The city centre and most neighbourhoods are safe and welcoming for residents and tourists. The only area I would not particularly recommend is Lower Orunia (Orunia Dolna), especially late at night. Other than that, Gdańsk is a great and safe place to visit and live.

Very safe city, during the day I would say there are no unsafe areas, during the night maybe some specific districts, but without any extremum. I can recommend it to every girl who want to start with solotraveling!

Sopot
Sopot is extremely safe, I have had maybe one incident where I did not feel safe - it was very late at night and I was unfortunate enough to engage in conversation and help a man who was clearly on some type of drugs, who made me feel really uneasy with his strange behaviour Other than that, Sopot is super safe and an overall pleasant city!

I think it is safe compared to other countries. Poland is overall safe but at night there are sometimes drunk and homeless people so you need to be careful. Personally I have never had any dangerous situations but at night I am rarely outside. The city center is always lively and generally safe. Just suburbs and parks are where I advise not to visit at night

About me
Hii!! I am Amelia (but I go by Keira). I am 18 years old. I am a dreamer with a backpack, a heart full of compassion, and a passport that's never dusty for long. I am currently doing my senior class at JDJ IOS American High School Online. I believe travel is less about ticking off destinations and more about building bridges - especially between hearts and ideas. I love volunteering abroad and have a deep passion for projects that make a difference. Whether it's helping animals, working with children, or participating in Erasmus+ exchanges, I seek out meaningful experiences that connect purpose with exploration. You will usually find me: - horse riding at golden hour - ice skating on ice rink - journaling in a park - taking care of kids - volunteering - or on another Erasmus+ youth exchange I adore deep conversations, spontaneous gateaways, souful music, and laughing until it hurts. I love slow travel, where I can feel the rhythm of a place and meet incredible women who inspire me - just like you. I’m looking to connect with fellow travel ladies for cultural exchanges, weekend escapes, shared volunteering projects, or just a coffee in a new city. I believe the best friendships are made under starry skies, on long train rides, or while getting lost in a new town together. Let's connect, if you are: 🌸 A solo traveler or expat 🧭 A purpose-driven adventurer 🎭 Someone who loves storytelling, activism or journaling 🏕 Into mindfulness, nature, or simply daydreaming by the sea 🐴 An animal lover (bonus if you want to help me build a rehab clinic for traumatized rescue animals someday!)

Psychology student on Erasmus, currently living in Kraków 🌍 I love getting lost in new cities, meeting new people, and collecting little moments along the way. Into books, movies, and a bit too obsessed with fantasy (yes, I’m a Harry Potter fan 🪄). I might seem a little quiet at first, but give me a minute and I’ll probably talk your ear off 😄 Always up for coffee, walks, deep talks or spontaneous adventures ✨

About me
I'm a 22 (still can't get used to it) year-old medical student living in Warsaw, so I don't mind living in an inhumanly small flat or sleeping on the floor. I actually come from the mountains so the one thing I appreciate the most is public transport. I can cook you vegetarian/vegan meals if you want, but I'm capable of living by eating only instant ramen and drinking energy drinks for weeks. As you see, I won't be an inconvenience. However I'm keen on getting to know you or going out if you're up to it. I'd appreciate it if you show me your fav spots in the city. I am an ambivert (that means I can conform to your way of being), that's why I can party with you, have a deep conversation about the meaning of life (by Monthy Python obv) or just take a French leave if you prefer being alone at home. As you can see, I'm a perfect couch surfer haha. I use BeWelcome too here’s a link to my profile there: https://www.bewelcome.org/members/dogwithdisease And couchsurfing: https://www.couchsurfing.com/c/users/annalegowik Also couchers but I’m new to it: https://couchers.org/profile/about
