Hello! My name is Salsabeel, and I’m currently immersed in an unforgettable experience here in Kalisz, Poland, as part of the Erasmus+ program during the winter semester of 2024/2025. I’m thrilled to share a glimpse of my journey with you.

Kalisz has proven to be the perfect place for both intellectual and personal growth. The courses here are not only challenging but also incredibly enriching. The professors have been welcoming and supportive, offering a learning environment that encourages curiosity and deeper understanding. Every class has given me fresh perspectives, and the university’s facilities have made studying a truly enjoyable experience. I feel truly fortunate to be able to pursue my academic journey in such an inspiring setting.

Beyond academics, Kalisz has opened up an entirely new world of cultural discovery. I’ve had the chance to explore the city’s historical treasures and immerse myself in the vibrant Polish culture. The warmth of the people and the beauty of the city have made me feel at home, and I’ve found joy in every moment of discovery. Whether it’s the fascinating traditions, the local cuisine, or the welcoming atmosphere, Kalisz has become a place that holds a special place in my heart.

One of the most incredible aspects of this Erasmus journey has been the opportunity to travel and experience Europe’s diverse cultures firsthand. My travels began with visits to Amman in Jordan and Ankara in Turkey, where I was captivated by the rich history and cultural vibrancy of these cities.

Then, I journeyed through Italy, where I explored Milan’s modern elegance, Verona’s historical romance, and Venice’s breathtaking canals. After Italy, I visited Germany, where I explored Berlin, Bremen, Bremerhaven, Hamburg, and Cologne. Each city has its own unique charm, from Berlin’s rich history to the coastal beauty of Bremerhaven.

I’ve also admired the elegance of Paris in France, the historic charm of Brussels in Belgium, and the artistic vibe of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Prague’s enchanting streets, Budapest’s timeless beauty, Bratislava’s picturesque views, and Vienna’s imperial grandeur have all left their mark on me.

Within Poland, I’ve explored Wrocław, Toruń, and Warsaw, each offering a unique insight into the country’s history and culture. These travels have given me a broader perspective and have been an essential part of my Erasmus experience.

Living abroad has been an eye-opening experience. The independence, responsibility, and resilience I’ve gained here have shaped me in ways I never expected. From navigating daily life in a new country to connecting with people from all walks of life, this experience has pushed me to grow both academically and personally. The challenges I’ve faced have only made me more confident and adaptable, and I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of diversity and the importance of empathy.

As I look back on my time in Kalisz, I can truly say it has been a life-changing experience. This Erasmus journey has not only opened my mind to new knowledge but also provided me with unforgettable memories and valuable personal insights. I’m grateful for every moment, every lesson learned, and every new friendship made. There’s still more to come, and I can’t wait to embrace everything this incredible opportunity has to offer.

Hi! My name is Nastya, and I’m a second-year student at National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” from Ukraine.

I stayed in Kalisz during the winter semester of 2024/2025 and I’d like to share a little bit of my own experience here.

The Erasmus+ programme gave me so many unforgettable memories and a wonderful experience. It helped me grow more as a person and find out new things that I enjoy and am good at. Also, another amazing thing is that you can meet here many new people from different countries and backgrounds. It was a pleasure to get to know all the students who studied with me and realize that we actually have lots of things in common despite being so different at the same time.

Regarding Kalisz itself, I want to say that I really liked this city even though it’s quite small. It was even better than I expected when I came here and experienced its atmosphere and beauty in reality. I don’t regret choosing this place as my new home for 5 months at all. Plus, it’s not a problem to get to other Polish cities from Kalisz, so I strongly advise to travel around Poland and visit places like Krakow, Wroclaw, Warsaw, Lodz, and so on. Each city has its special charm, and I’m happy that I got the chance to visit many of them during my stay in Poland.

I’m grateful to all the organizers of this program for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to try something new and get so many incredible memories.

Thank you, University of Kalisz! You’ll hold a special place in my heart for a long time!
