What you will experience
Let me introduce you to Nowa Huta, a little silent and backed up neighbourhood in Krakow (a.k.a. my hometown). It originally was built as a utopian ideal city for the Soviet Union, with sinister layer. Nowa Huta was build to protect people from nuclear attack during cold war with USA. I will pick you up from the city center and from there, we will travel by tram to Nowa Huta. Along the way, I will tell you about places and things we will see as we pass by. For example: an impressive abandoned shopping center "plaza". Once we arrive in Nowa Huta, we will visit the Ronald Reagan Place, Rose Avenue and an old cinema called "światowid" with a museum of Polish People's Republic. Furthermore, we'll come across a folk theater, Lord's Ark church as well as the Mogiła Abbey. I hope that you will discover with me beauty this former PRL suburb of Cracov

My life includes food, music and games that are an intergral part of everyday life.
