For centuries, Poland has been a bridge between the East and West. Set in the heart of Europe, Poland is a multifaceted country where the capital and medieval towns are trawled by contemporary city slickers, and where horse-drawn carts negotiate country lanes, untouched by progress.
Poland remains reasonably cheap and safe, with hospitable people who welcome visitors. Over the past decade, it has developed into a modern, vibrant and progressive state, yet at the same time it maintains its traditional culture. It's a fascinating destination and now is a good time to go.

A four hour
train trip in which I slept most of the way took me to Warsaw where I managed to bungle my way to Oki Doki Hostel with the aid of a
googlemap photo on my camera. The huge glaring sign on the side of the building
helped me find it.... Read more >

to take the day train from Prague to Krakow as I’d read a few dodgy things about the night

any case. Which was lucky as we ended up stopping at some ... Read more >

As I stand at the top of the dimly lit stairs I find myself thinking twice before heading down. I stare at the dingy tiled walls and I think to myself that there is no way this can be accurate. But I have no choice. Nature calls. I walk down one flight, ... Read more >
