Itinerary

As a native of Poland, I will take you on a tour of what my country looks like today and share stories about the history, events, and people that have shaped it over the past 100 years. We will begin with a short language lesson, during which I will teach you a few basic Polish greetings and show you how to introduce yourself in my native tongue. Next, I will cover Poland’s geography, climate, and some interesting facts about the country. I will then spend some time discussing Polish history, including World War II, the Solidarity movement, and the major changes that took place in 1989, which helped Poland flourish and transition to a democratic system. Moving on, we will explore Polish traditions, and I will show you a video from my brother’s wedding in Kielce, Poland. There are 16 national holidays in Poland, and I will talk about my favorite one—All Saints’ Day. At the end, I will invite you to try my mom’s famous pierogi and share her recipe with you.
