Krakow, Poland is a hidden gem! Let me share all of the special and memorable reasons why I think you should add Poland to your travel radar. There is so much history, charm, and good food to be found in Krakow.

The instant my cousin sent me a text asking if I could go to Poland with her to help Ukrainian refugees, I knew that I had to go. It was doing to stretch my time and energy but I knew that this was somewhere where I could really help others and it couldn’t be missed. After the word spread a bit, there were 12 of us that set off to Krakow, Poland to find ways to assist the Ukrainians.

My friend, Chelsea Lamb, joined me on the trip and is joining me on this podcast episode today where we share all of the ways we were able to serve and how we were impacted by this trip.
