My Journey Through Poland

Poland blends layered history, vibrant cities and remarkable value in a way few European destinations can match. Efficient, well-organised and easy to navigate, it’s a country that rewards both curiosity and budget-conscious travel.

I’ve explored Poland from the better-known cities of Kraków, Warsaw and Gdańsk to lesser-visited places like Toruń and Wrocław. Along the way, I’ve walked medieval squares, uncovered powerful stories in world-class museums, and sampled everything from pierogi to poppyseed cake.

Whether you’re drawn by the history, the hearty food or the sheer ease of travel, Poland delivers a rich experience without the high price tag. You’ll find practical tips and personal highlights here to help shape your own journey.
