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.

Katowice, Solo travel

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.

Krakow

In general I feel very safe in Krakow, never felt anscious even during night solo walks/night park rollerblading. The city centre might be the most dangerous area due to a lot of pubs/clubs and drunk people.

Czestochowa

it is very safe you can walk outside whenever you want.People are on their own world they do not care.Not creeps.Just maybe keep an open eye after the bar but even if some creep come to talk to you they will go away if you say no

Generally safe, but the problem is drunk men can try to talk with you and stick to you at night. There aren't many people outside of old town. I've walked from there to my dormitory a few times in the night and felt safe, but still I don't recommend being alone in the nights.

About me

Hi! I'm Marlena, I'm 21 years old this year. I would describe myself as an open, positive person. I love life and I genuinely love people! I think my biggest passion is sitting at cafes, gossiping and people watching :) On a more serious note, I adore travelling, meeting the locals and exploring places I've never been to. I'm also in my second year of med school and I'm currently writing 2 reaserch papers about the influence of being a succesful woman on dating opportunities. I also have a beatiful 3 year old Australian shepherd :)
