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.

Poznan

I would say Poznań is a really safe (and clean) city. I often go out at night, and I have never had a bad encounter. Of course, it is better to walk with someone else by your side, especially in the city center at night, but in general, it is pretty safe. No pickpockets here 🙂‍↕️

Limanowa

Limanowa is a small city. There isn't much going on. I would say it is very safe there but also very boring because there aren't any bigger tourist attractions. There are only some little mountains and mostly cultural entertainment.

Koszalin

It's a really calm city with not a lot happening, criminal activity is really low here, even when walking the streets in the middle of a night nobody ever approached me, except for police asking if I'm okay

About me

Hi I’m Kornelia and I’m 28 years old. I am open to new experiences just name it! (both while hosting and being hosted) I am pretty active (regularly working out) so I’m open to active adventures . While I like to take care of myself (healthy food, exercise etc) I enjoy a night out just as much :) I was born and raised in Italy and when I finished high school I moved to Poland and I am currently living here.
