- Hej ludzie!:) I decided to go hang out in old town, see the sights! ✨✨✨ thought I'd also share some of what I like, and some reasons why I find myself enjoying Poland. not here to say that everyone neeeds to move to Warsaw, but wanted to try some downtown vlogging and speak on some of the differences I've found...attractive points for living in Warsaw over the U.S. - (by no means a complete list :D)

My Polish roommates told me I’m the first person they’ve ever met with student loan debt 🙃
😂🤣 yup. Must be nice!!!
When I was studying, 20 years ago, I had a student loan for two years, I paid it back in four years of work after graduation. It was an interest-free loan from what I remember. It is also available now, but perhaps a few percent of students use it. To receive it, you cannot exceed the income threshold per person in the family, i.e. PLN 3,000.
@@DonegansGone Yup. I remember that too from 10 years ago. One of our professors advertised it as the best motivator to study... But this loan was not supposed to be spent on your (free) tuition, but rather on dormitory, which was $100/month. Then you had a couple of years to find a job or repeat a year. It was feasible for most professions. For an engineering degree it was a no-brainer at least in my city.

Only a person from abroad can say "Living in Poland is cheap" 😌

It's really important that you mentioned the wages-prices ratio (or rather generally wages-cost of living ratio). It is something that goes unnoticed when someone is "in the bubble" of being tourist or well-paid expat. Keep on posting!
Thanks for your comment, Franciszek 😊 agree
Salaries are still low in Poland compared to rich western EU countries. Poland is developing that 's for sure but still not at the same level of other EU countries. Zloty devaluing every day against euro
I, myself am from Germany but I've been really enjoying your vlogs so far. They are extremely well made (when it comes to video editing + effort). And honestly? From what I've seen so far (vacations + your videos) Poland is a diamond in Europe. Keep 'them vlogs coming. Greetings from Berlin.
Poland is a diamond 💕☺️and thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it and am happy to hear, freundliche grusse😅

You should visit other cities as well, Warsaw is Warsaw, it’s not really a complete picture of Poland. As a polish person I’m amazed how diverse Poland can be when I visit cities I’ve never been to before.
What other cities?

I have no Polish ancestry but I feel as if I did, after visiting one time and picking up a few words and having an owesome time there, I feel attached to anything I see about Poland ever since, it just became a part of me I guess
Who else how many lives ago my friend.
Spot on. It’s becoming one of the more interesting cities actually with a tremendous history. Nicely done.
Thanks! Agreed:)
Poland is amazing, thank for sharing my friend.
My pleasure ☺️
I visited Poland first time was 2010
Since then I visited Poland over and over again
Good job! I study in the UK byt originally am from Warsaw so it's nice to see such analytic commentaries about my home and see how others explore it.
Warsaw is definitely a fast growing city and the people are so great. Can’t wait to visit soon 🇵🇱. Keep up the videos :)

Loved the video!!! I'm moving to Warsaw in February to study there and this video made me feel even more excited about it!

Thank you, Przemyslaw! 😅glad you enjoyed ☺️
Love your vlog, so nice and peaceful, Poland is lucky to have you, it's such a good feeling that people like you are coming here instead of completely forgetting their roots, recently I read a story about another American-Polish, Dominik Andrzejczuk who also happens to live in Warsaw.
If you like history go to krakow. The whole city is one big open-air museum.
Always impressed with Poland,it's amazing .😎
Loving this! Greetings to y’all:))
Lovely video! You're good! I'm in love with Poland now!

I moved to Warsaw over 10 years ago, my first impression, It was so messy especially the city centre where I used to study, I'm rather na esthetic type so I really did not like it. But now I cant imagine living anywhere else, this city grows so fast! And finally something is being done with the centre ♥️
Oh my!! you have a such sweet look and you talk so smooth is relaxing to hear you!!!
Thank you!
I never planned on settling in Poland/Germany but it happened and I'm so glad it did. Things are generally better for most people compared to the USA. There's still a lot to do, especially in Eastern Poland, but things are moving in the right direction.
On the flip side -- for Poland -- wait three days (November 11th) and you'll see several ten thousand reasons in the streets for why not to stay (and they very much don't want you to stay). Stay safe.
Great observations! Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you, Karo! Extra motivation to keep sharing ☺️
You're having an awesome time! Keep up the good work and be well ;D
Thank you! 😊
Cool a palm tree in Warsaw !! I’m visiting in December for Christmas markets .. sure I’ll love it also of Polish Ancestry…
Oh, wonderful!! Witamy☺️ I’m sure you’ll enjoy
Skip Warsaw and go to Kraków. Much nicer place.
@@fiuttello depends on who would you ask, though. I recommend visiting both. Kraków, the former capital, is often called the cultural centre of Poland because of the stunning Old Town, but Warsaw is also a good spot, as you can find there both old architecture / landmarks and interesting modern museums and art.
I don't there will be Christmas markets in plandemic.

The view is more beautiful because of you. Gorgeous!
😂 thanks!
@@PlexiGlasss Whoa! she notice me. I am so happy. Hi Gorgeous.
I think I know why polish people got the reputation of being unfriendly. It is just weird for us to smile to the person that you had no interaction with, and no, the eye-contact does not count. 🙃
It’s actually a similar case in other Eastern European countries, people there also don’t really smile on the streets
@@mabylek4243 Right, I feel like its this big american thing, that doesnt work elsewhere haha
at the same time..for polish people it's so normal to act rude for no reason towards strangers :/

About loans.
It's just that Poland haven't been a very stable country for a long, long time and people learned the hard way that they can ALWAYS lose a job and even be unemployed for a while and unable to do anything about it. That's how life used to be for MOST of the Poles. The situation is a lot better nowadays of course but old habits die hard.
In Poland it's heavily frowned upon to get a loan and then be unable to pay it. This is why the Poles in general take a loan mostly when they have absolutely no other choice, they can't buy something any other way and they REALLY need it or something like that.
We, the Poles, aren't happy, smiling, optimistic people. Not at all. We ALWAYS see things in dark colors. We ALWAYS predict trouble before the trouble strike us. This is why we tend to be prepared and not burdened by loans and things like that. Life in Poland taught us that you can NEVER EVER be too sure and you can't count on things going well, you have to be prepared and assume the worst while hoping for the best.
So yeah, when end of the world happens, make sure a Pole is with you. 'Cause I don't think he'll be surprised.😎
😍😍❤️😇
Yes was going to say how unlikely Palm tree was to survive there 😂😆
Nice walk 🚶♂️ in Poland 🇵🇱 and beautiful day 😀 😊
Thanks! 😊 wish you a beautiful day!
Hello Plexi hope you are great there !! I really love how you express your views about Poland so much 🥰🥰 this video is amazing. Actually, I am interested in studying at SGH for my Mater's degree. If you have any recommendations, pls feel free to tell me. 🥺🙏🏻
We do spend the money we don't have, but we spend it on houses. In the last 20 years houses got like 4-5 times more expensive, while an average salary got only maybe 2 x higher, idk.
You should visit Gdańsk old town in the nearest future.
I liked the video and idk its just nice too see your face(idk ur face is just simply pretty xD?) but alot of things which u ve mentioned are not really nice for a native polish person. I have a huge comparasion cause i was living in different country too and living in Poland is terrible experience in many aspects i think the pros and cons are kinda balanced when we will want to compare them with other EU countries. Poland is really beautiful country and really safe, but most of ppl here are wasting their lifes. Poland is really strong IT country so if anybody is looking for a good IT-related country Poland is really great place. I was living in a London for long enough to have comparasion and even tho ppl say that London is pretty expensive i dont really think so, living in UK is much cheaper for the normal daily needs. Living in Poland with minimal wage is incredibly hard, meanwhile in uk its not that hard also ppl in UK were much nicer to me and more helpful than ppl in my own country which is Poland... I think alot of foreigners are having different experience with Poland which are not totally fully correct in the long term. Having own business or something in Poland like company etc is incredibly hard, theres tons of paper work meanwhile in USA its much simpler because in Poland u have to move to 523252 places with the same paper and its taking alot of time meanwhile in USA leading ur own business/company is much easier in the term of paper work etc I do know how it is in USA since i have a family there + alot of Polish celebrities and known ppl from Poland are havig business in USA and Poland and theyre saying the same what i do and what i have heard from my close family/mates and friends. I would like to mention that in UK ppl are much more respectful in the term of being "different", theyre more respectful to trans/homo ppl and any different looking ppl, they dont look at you like ure something "weird" in Poland most of eyes will stare at you like youre an alien or sum lmao.
Altho im glad that ure enjoying Poland so far, but trust me its not really so great place to live in xD
I’m glad that you like being here :)
Consider visiting other cities in Poland. I think that Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk and even Katowice are better places to visit and live in.
Lovely vlog.
You can definitely make decent money in Warsaw teaching English - you'd be sought after for your accent (recognisably American but also clear and distinctive, although you might have to slow it down a tad at times, so that your learners would follow). Poland is one of the best destinations in Europe to teach English.
that's true, consider that
Hi. Have you visited other places in Poland, like Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk or Katowice?
In Poland universities are free for citizens. dorms are only for students in bad financial situation,(you need to show that your household needs help to pay for you to move to another city and they are really cheap) and last year of uni we have less classes so we can already start profesional life.

Hey! I moved to Warsaw and I like to run in the city! Where would you say are the best places to go on city jogs? Thanks!
Hey, Gabe! That’s great. If you’re going to go out of your way, I’d probably say along the river would be nice. Scenic, and people will run a loop going down the west side-to east side and back across the bridges. Lots of people exercising there in general. In Warsaw we also have two big parks with running paths I’d recommend - lazienki park and pole mokotowskie.
come to Las Bielański or Park Młociński (northern part of the city).. or Las Kabacki (the southern part)..if you enjoy nature you should also come to Kampinoski Park Narodowy (a huge national park), just next to Warsaw.. great spot for a long run and a great spot to spot a deer or a moose, there are wolves too.. no bears, though ;)
For most Polish people it's more important to be reliable than nice. Not my words though, but I thought it was an interesting point.
if you want a try u can choose cheaper cities like Rzeszów or Katowice u still got many capabilities for find job but u will spend less for food and accommodation :)
Other American citizen in Poland is on CZcams canal "Low my Poland". Sorry, my english is very little. You are very nice, good luck in Poland 🙂
I know just one friend with student loan and it was taken for accomodation and living..we were studying in very good public academy so because acting master program was full (also very specific and rare in poland system) we couldnt work at weekends so he decided to take a loan.
Our student loan is a little different than in the US. It's not mandatory and IF we take it then we have to give back basically the same amout that was loaned, so it's very very cheap.
Good sharing video
I enjoy your vlog
Thank you, Phop 😅

I'm interested in Poland for various reasons and I'm glad you like it there and though I don't know much about you , I think that could be good influence on you. Poland has a lot to offer.. their faith for one thing which in US many people unfortunately ( though not all ) and much of Western Europe isn't much appreciated . The US yes a good number of people will appreciate that. Their Catholic faith got them thru historically tough times with Nazism and then communism. Many can learn from them.
Hi, thank you so much for making these videos! I really appreciate them since there’s so little info about studying in Poland :( if anyone has studied a bachelor’s in English, could I ask some questions?
Of course! Good fun for me and happy it’s been helpful :) hope you can find some others to connect with on the subject 😅
Hi, I am a Polish native with BA in English Studies :)
I moved to Wroclaw from the states Oct 2018...then when i traveled Feb 2020, they wouldnt let me back in to the country because I didnt have the proper Visa, I havent been back since...uuuugh...although Barcelona isn't a bad place to be waiting to get back to Poland =P

Welcome to Poland, sweetheart!❤️ I hope you’ll like it here, we are more than happy to see you in our country. Remember, you are always welcome here. I’m sure you’ve come across some mean comments or hateful glances, but in spite of everything, Poland is full of amazing, kind souls; I hope you’ve already noticed that. Wishing you all the best and sending tons of love💕
I don't know how this was recommended to me, but it was interesting to watch a foreigner talk about my home city. Obviously, you've barely scratched the surface of things that are worth/not worth of moving to Poland (and Warsaw specifically), but as a native Pole, I've emmigrated from Warsaw almost 10 years ago and I''m glad I did. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side! I'm glad you enjoy Warsaw! 😂
You're lucky to live in a city where public transportation is actually and reliable :D In smaller cities it's really not so people like to rely on their cars.
Kewl videos, also polish, like your uncut style of vlogging. Did you have to get vaccinated to travel to Poland?
Hahaha thank you. And while you don’t need to get vaccinated - generally when traveling to and from (though out this year , most recently this weekend 😂) I’ve needed to show either. A. Proof of full vaccination. Or B. A negative test. If you don’t have either of those, then you’ll likely be told upon landing to do a mandatory quarantine. (There are sanitary control officers right after you get off the plane to check on this)
Very Detailed Vlog. Really appreciate you for creating such vlogs. creative vlog. I do love creating videos about Warsaw as well. I have created multiple vlogs about Poland.

My english is to weak for conversation with you, but I will try anyway :P in Poland we have student loans but we are a completely different society. We are more family (i can't find proper word in my head and in translator too) than Americans are. Mainly family helps financially in other otherwise people prefer work than study. From my observations a lot of my friends spend parents money for have fun in different city while they studing. In Poland we have big social system (in my opinion to big), according my information (uncle in US army about 15years) America dont give a shit with weak units so only strong can survive and function properly.
im still hesitating between studying in warsaw or wroclaw ugh
Tough decision! 😅I would recommend thinking which city might offer you more opportunity (post studies/during them) in your field, but I’m sure you’ll be happy/do well in either of those places!!😊

I think the most important thing being Polish and hearing that you're unfriendly is just......don't give a shit about that :)
My transit to Korea was through Poland, Warsawa! And people were shocked when I said that, lmaooo. I thought it was cool but there's still this weird sentiment people have towards Eastern European countrieis for some reason :/ They think it's very conversative (which it probably is compared to the west) and dangerous but I rlly doubt that from seeing this video.
We are conservative and we are proud of that. Never forget about it...it's the only way to survive.
