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.

Wroclaw

Wrocław is generally considered very safe with very little violent crime happening day-to-day, but I’d still recommend exercising caution and avoiding dark areas. The historical centre and three Nadodrze district have a very large number of unstable individuals one should be aware of

Leszno

I think the only place in Leszno worth worrying about is the market square and its surroundings. However, there's not much crime anyway. Homeless people can be found at the train and bus stations, but they don't cause any major problems. It can be more dangerous at the speedway race in Leszno. Because of the fans

Krakow

very safe place to travel, it is very convient if you are solo-travel. at night be carefoul with drunk people in old town but they are mostly harmless. crime rate is low, traffic rules are super important, you should obey them perfectly because fees are high

Warsaw

Generally, it's okay, but there are often drunk people. Homeless people are a common sight in the city center, so I'd be careful at night. However, I've returned from the city center around 10 p.m. more than once, and it wasn't too bad.

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 :)
