Buy the travel insurance, pack your walking shoes, and go. Poland is waiting with open arms, hot soup, and a surprisingly chill atmosphere. The war is real and heartbreaking, but Poland’s spirit—and its safety—are rock solid.
Book that flight. Your future self, eating a zapiekanka on a Krakow square, will thank you.
