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.

solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

Warsaw

warsaw is actually safe. people are telling that in warsaw are lot of dangerous people and lot of people stealing things but i don't think like that, people are stealing stuff everywhere so i don't think that warsaw is somewhere high in this ranking

I think Warsaw is a pretty safe capital. Obviously some things happen sometimes, but I havent had any really bad encounters yet. Sometimes someone weird might talk to you or say something weird, but nothing really physical most of the time. I have never been robbed here even in crowded places.

Katowice

Katowice is a safe city but sometimes you might feel unsafe alone at night when it's dark. I recommend carrying a pepper spray just in case but I have never needed to use it. No one has ever tried to rob me or anything but be carefull if any homeless person is around just in case - if you don't engage in any interaction with suspicious people you will be okay

About me

Hiii! I'm extremely bad when it comes to the "about me" section 😄 Recently I've been trying to motivate myself to travel and meet new people. I find it a little bit difficult. For almost 2 years I've been working in a TV corporation and I feel my life sparkle is disappearing. That's why I'm pushing to refind excitement in my life. I would love to meet some amazing people here, exchange experiences or just have a good time
