ABOUT

Whose blog is it..?

It’s yours because you are an expat living in Kraków.

It’s yours because you are a tourist visiting Kraków.

It’s yours because from all the countries you chose to study and/or volunteer here, in Kraków.

It’s yours because you are a member of an ethnic or national minority in Kraków

…

Wherever you’re from and whatever you do in Kraków- this blog is yours because surely you experience a lot over here and it would be great to share it with others!

Why this blog?

To create a new, open and unique space for sharing your experiences as a member of ethnic/national/cultural minority living in Kraków.

Isn’t it nice to see that you’re not the only one fascinated, amused, surprised or maybe bewildered by certain elements of your adopted home?

Isn’t it good to have an open space where you can express how you personally experience being a member of a minority and in the same time discover how similar or different are the experiences of others?

….

What about?

Being a ‘minority member blogger’ can mean writing about your every-day life experiences of living in a place where the majority has a different cultural background. It can mean writing about cultural observations about your chosen home, or about the new cafe or shop or event you discover in the getting-to-know-you phase of living in Kraków. But once you’re settled in, it can be really hard to continue to look at Kraków as a traveler might. Which is why this blog will probably be one part ‘traveler impressions diary’, one part ‘personal testimony’, one part cultural anthropology class, and one part “what I did last weekend” blog J Or maybe it will be something else and much more than that? The boarders of the blog are the boarders of your experience that you decide to share here!

Share your minority experience!

Make this blog yours and share your experience by leaving a post in which you share with others any aspect of your experiences in Kraków.
