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.

For 4 years living here I've neve experienced any crime or even insults. And I have been alone during nights in different parts of the city. I do feel safe when I have walks in midnight, even while listening to music. There have been some guys who tried to get acquainted and persistent, but they haven't been aggressive, just talkative

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.

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!)

About me

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 ✨
