My name is Lela, a 22-year-old student from Sokhumi State University in Georgia. I participated in the Erasmus+ exchange program during the autumn semester here in Kalisz. This small, cozy city quickly became a welcoming place for me. The mobility in Kalisz is very convenient – public transport is easy to navigate, and the city’s layout makes it enjoyable to walk or bike around.
I found the peaceful environment perfect for focusing on my studies, while also having the chance to explore local cafes, parks, and cultural spots. Through this experience, I was able to immerse myself in Polish culture and meet people from different backgrounds, which truly enriched my perspective. I also had the opportunity to travel and discover other parts of Europe, experiencing new cultures and making unforgettable memories. Overall, Kalisz offered a wonderful balance of tranquility and vibrant community life, while broadening my horizons in ways I never expected.
