For some reasons, a lot of individuals associate holidays with travelling to foreign countries. When they plan holidays, they usually don’t even take into consideration extraordinary spots in their own country. Rather than this, they choose trips to foreign countries, without even thinking about visiting something in their own country. In a consequence, many guys are not familiar with their own country. They have a lot of memories and experiences from abroad, but when somebody asks them about their own country, it becomes clear they don’t know practically anything about attractive places there.

In consequence, this brief article, is going to try to inspire you to plan your holiday in a bit different way this year. What if, instead of going to a foreign country again, you would decide to discover extraordinary spots located in your own country? Let’s imagine, that you come from the south of Poland. There is a big chance, that you believe that you already know much about your country and you consider other regions of it to be extremely similar to your town. Nevertheless, that can be your mistake ( out). Why? An answer is very simple. Because if you live in the South of Poland, this may be more similar to, for example, Slovakia, that to Gdynia. Due to that, even though the language varies, there is a big chance that the culture as well as cuisine you are familiar with, are more similar to those of neighboring country, than to different side of Poland.



So, why don’t you buy flights to Gdansk this summer. This part of Poland has a lot to offer. E.g., are you familiar with the amazing history of Gdansk? For a long time it has been 1 of the proudest Polish cities. City, which stayed independent for a lot of years. City, where the story of Solidarnosc movement started. I am sure, that you already are familiar with it from history classes from school times (read something new). Nonetheless, how much you genuinely know about this story? Would you be able to present this story for any foreigner who asks you about it? And what about the local cuisine? Do you know that it has far more to offer than only fish? What about other regions of the country? Perhaps you would prefer to take flights to Katowice? Have you ever heard that it is the biggest metropolitan region in Central and Eastern Europe?

I hope that all of those listed questions would become an inspiration for your summer detination this year. Instead of going abroad, why don’t you try to discover Poland. Act like a tourist, avoid being local. Stay curious, be open minded. Pose questions, try to understand local history, try local food. I am convinced that you are going to discover that every city has its own unique atmosphere, which can be even more fascinating than trip abroad!
