I have been to Jo berg twice. The last time being 3-years ago. Each visit was not pleasant as being in the city reminded me of being in Northern Ireland in the early 1980’s. I was in the British military and engaged in various bits and bobs in the most dangerous village in the country (based upon the number of security forces who lost there lives there). The reason I mention this is the ‘vibe’ in Jo Berg is exactly the same as it was in Northern Ireland’s ‘murder central’. The only exception is i was walking around without the comfort of a weapon in my hands and three other desperados backing me up (we operated in 4 man teams). I have had a look at the ‘scores’ section on Jo Berg and it is in no way representative of the situation on the ground. Whether you are an expat nomad or a whatever please understand that Jo Berg is not a place to go ‘sight seeing’ in unless you have a couple SUV’s rammed with black water personnel following you. Joking aside there are better places to live in Southern Africa.

Cons of Living in Poznan
Not much to do Cold now Gets cold in the winter Very damp now Not many Nomad List members go here Difficult to make friends Not safe for women Not family friendly Hostile towards LGBTQ+ Many people smoke tobacco -
Good nightlife a lot of young people too. Cozy old town center. Avoid clubs with credit card scams, avoid any invites to extravagant clubs

Was recently in POZNAN and saw there was a huge pro-abortion movement in the old town + outer parts of it. My first impression was that the city ressembles a lot with PRAGUE and WARSAW. Hills + big squares with covered tram tracks. The pedestrian area is really nice. 1 or 2 days would be enough to check the city.

Not safe for women? I feel very safe here and walk late at night from the train station. Like any town there are the gypsies and drunks but no, no real problems.
