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 is one of the calmest capital i have ever been. Felt so safe. It’s not that much expensive as well. People are friendly and public transportation is also cheap as compared to other European countries.

Zakopane, Family travel
My third time in Zakopane - this time with my mom and more for mountains, less for rest. My legs were dead after 6 hours in Hala Gąsienicowa and even more after Dolina Kościeliska. Weather was amazing, lots of people but still comfortable. Food soooo good! I mostly tried polish foods - żurek in bread recommended! My mom loved pierogi (without an s!) If you're looking for hotel there, I can send you a link for Booking.com as I don't remember the name now. We had amazing view for Giewont, balcony and peace for a really low price (Almost nothing!)

I’d say I felt mostly safe because I stayed at a female only hostel. But i also enjoyed the nightlife and everyone was very respectful even though i was sadly dangerously intoxicated:( (was having a bad day)

Lublin
Lublin is really safe city. There is no much danger by walking alone during the day or at night. Of course there're a few streets that aren't too friendly to walk at night (sometimes you can meet with catcalling there), but there aren't many of them.

Żory is pretty safe. The only thing is that some drunk homeless people sometimes stay at the bus station. But besides that I think my town is pretty safe, I usually go outside at night and nothing is happening here.

Chorzow
Most of the city is perfectly fine. You’ll find locals helpful, though they might be a bit reserved. The district 'Cwajka' (Chorzów II) it’s known for being a bit rough around the edges with older, neglected buildings. You aren't likely to be in danger, but it can feel uncomfortable or "catcall-heavy". On match days, you’ll see large groups of football fans. They usually stick to themselves, but the atmosphere can get loud and rowdy. If you see a crowd in team colors, just give them a little space. Walking alone in the city center or well-lit main streets is generally safe. The Silesia Park...

Przemyśl is super safe. Its a small town so we dont have much people and much no-safe situations. Everybody know each oder so it would be very stupid to do something bad. People are kind but no as sociable.

I’ve never experienced something unsafe in this city, but there is no place that is 100% safe in the world. Just be careful in some areas, don’t take shortcuts, and you will be good. Take care and don’t get scammed with some holy stuff.

About me
Hey, my name is Nadia and I’m new to this traveling community however not new to traveling ;) On a daily basis I work in social circus 🎪🤸♂️ teaching kids and youngsters aerial acrobatic. Besides I’m studying padagogy and trying to stay engaged in local social struggles to make this world more equal ✨ From time to time I perform with fire. My bigest intrests are maps and navigation systems, sociology and architecture. Ah and I love documantary cinema! After many hitchhiking trips, I have learned that getting to know a place starts with getting to know the local people and their culture. This is why I’m very happy to travel visiting other people and offer a place to stay in my home, in Poland.

About me
hi, I’m Maja, I’m 19 and I simply love meeting new people and I would love to start traveling outside of Europe, either alone or with someone. During traveling I like to meet locals and spend time actively, for example, on a hike. But I am also open to new things, experiences, sports, places. I'm a little afraid, but i dream of South and Central America…
