Carrie, I'm a Scottish guy living in Greece, I've been through the same feelings as you. Things are different from my home country, some things are much better, some things drive me crazy, the systems are different. I think its normal to have these feelings. But now that I've been here for 10 years, in all honesty, when I go back to the UK I could write a list of things that drive me crazy or frustrate me. My honest advice would be to get some Polish friends, take the time to learn small bits of Polish for shops etc, and slowly but surely you will start to feel more at home. Don't give up, you are in a different country, try to see the positive side of things rather than the things which make you a little frustrated and embrace how they do things there, even if they are a little strange compared to what you may be used to. Oh, and good video. :)
Thank you
Xx
It's hard to make friends here. Polish people, while friendly to foreigners, are not really open to being friends. They have enough friends. If you don't meet someone in school, it's hard.
@@caciliawhy5195 Well, don't give up.
Story of my life living in south korea ....honestly just learn the language it will be easier to even make friends with the locals
I still cry & miss home. Friends are like digging for gold😩. But I have learned that You gotta keep focused. I’m here to explore the other side of the world. 🤗🤗
It gets better overtime 💕💕💕
Yes you gotta stay focused
Your sincerity is helpful because it is experience-based and therefore factual. Not to sound too prophetic but, in my opinion, Eckhart Tolle is correct and his following realization can encourage our patience because, surprisingly, we often can benefit more from bad than from good experiences: “Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.”
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I would never took you for an introvert. I was sure you are a classic extrovert and wondered why you had troubles meeting new people. Now I understand. I'm an introvert too, so in a foreign environment, getting to know someone new is much harder.
If you had moved to Warsaw, maybe Cracow, you would have easier, since there is a stronger presence of expats, people are more familiar with English, more open, and possibilities to find a job would be also better (even without Polish language). I'm sorry you had to suffer the experience with factories, this is tough, even for us, locals. Being forced to go into the factory is the biggest nightmare of the many young unemployed, inexperienced people, because conditions are harsh, and the treatment is just awful.
From what I see, people coming from Ukraine are having much better experience as you, because they have no such high expectations and the country works similar like their home country, but just better (in many ways). They are used to having much bigger problems, so when they come to Poland, it's usually easier for them, plus they can learn Polish quicker. If you are coming from Africa, UK is a better choice, but also more expensive choice.
Nevertheless, you are a smart and talented person, and you will grow because of those experiences as you could never have if you never left your country.
Good luck!
Thank you for your kind words

I started watching you yesterday and l love your content
Glad you enjoy it!
I agree with most what you have said but there is one thing; I would not rely whatsoever on any sort of countrymen (people from your home country). Chances that you could be screwed up by them are higher by locals. Sure, they can help you because they've been living there longer but the very same reason they also know your vulnerable points and weaknesses.
When wants to do MBSS has just done her A levels and the results are good ,can one join directly to MBSS or one has to do the pre medical course in Poland?
Living in another country, away from family, nowhere is not easy anywhere, communication skills and the ability to find friends are key
You are so right
🙂
Polish isn't former British colony like Nigera and we speak polish.
Hello, Carrie! I only watched one of your videos and I loved your content already! Had the same experience at the first process at the immigration office and I understand the staff working when he said in Polish that "he's in Poland so he's speaking Polish". Haha. One of the many bs I have yet to handle in my 4+ months of stay here in Trojmiasto. I long for friends here too. People here have pretty closed groups and families -- I can compare it as an 8.5 out of 10 if 10 is the Scandinavian standard. 😂
In Asian countries if you say you're looking for a job in a group of people who happen to be a childhood friend of a friend, family members of a significant other or maybe just a group of locals, you'll immediately get invited to some gathering where you can find references or they can actually give you references to jobs and eventually land a job in 2 to 4 weeks max. Here in Poland, you'll only get silence and cold stares. 😂😂😂. Tbh, I'm married to a Polish man and I know his family likes me but I never get to even hangout with his mom or his aunt -- and I rarely receive messages from any of them on top of the they're not fond of responding to messages. I'm learning their language and actually can understand most of it but I may be an outsider for a long time. And another one: they're not into celebrations. Back home if it's somebody's birthday no matter how old they are, friends and family hangout even if it's pretty simple, here it's otherwise. 😂😂 Thank you so much for these videos it gives me hope and courage. 🤗🤗
Seems like the experiences are more or less the same.Yes polish people tend to be very closed but I’m sure in time your in-laws will open up more
Very helpful tips.
I definitely do relate to most of what you've shared, from my own relocation. I'd definitely do it a whole lot better on my next move.
Yes .It’s not easy
How much have you paid for the tuition fees before you apply Visa?
Wow.very informative Carrie..l better start learning Polish
Start small and work your way up. People appreciate even the smallest effort when it comes to speaking their language.
Your house is very nice👌♥️
Hello please I would love to talk to you personally how can I reach you 😩🥺
Hello dear,my daughter cleared her form four in Kenya when she was 17 ,I wanted her to apply immediately ,will the embassy agree to give her visa without ID.
You always have to have ID to travel and move around the world.
Your apartment is beautiful
Thank you ☺️
I love your apartment. Yes Carie, is it possible to find a small course in Akademia will on working visa in Poland? like a part time course. Please revert.
There is no perfect place to live, each country has its pluses and minuses.
That’s very true
Great that you overcame all those difficulties😎 No country is perfect. Once you learn some of the local language I am sure you will be more satisfied. 2 years is still a short time considering the culture differences.
I am also in Poland and still regretting moving abroad especially Lublin, l suffer depression everyday. My advice consider cities and schools as well before you just come!!!!
First world problems😂 we learn everyday. Beautiful background😍
😂😂😂
Thank you ☺️
Somebody like me is planning carol😆
😃😃😃All the best
Where do you come from, your English is fluent.
That is true. EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT is stupidly slow. IDK about Germany tho. But generally, governments are slow.
What makes you think they speak English in Poland, France, Germany and Japan? That's inexcusable ignorance for someone who went to college.
It is so pity to hear that you have a such bad experience living in Poland 😏
My advise is: learn the history of the place you’re travelling to, it’ll explain why some processes are long or not, why some places are developed more than others.
Truly speaking Poland will never be like the west, social things that pass there won’t go the same way in Poland. It’s a proud country full of history, culture and heritage and after the communist system fell most time was dedicated in fighting corruption and building Polish culture, so government institutions will be slower than expected.
Nevertheless, it shows a lot about people and their ambitions, mind set and what level of arrogance or willingness they carry from all around the world.
But in general 👀 things are completely different in Poland due to its geopolitical location.
it doesn't matter if you ship something from Poland to Zimbabwe or from Zimbabwe to Poland... it's still a custom procedure between 2 third countries... only within the EU area such things get done quicker
@@psychologianiestacjonarna6558 firstly Poland is not a third country …. If you love trying to ruin the image of that country go and actually live in a 3rd world country. Then speak.
Secondly EU is not the “only” place where procedures are fast. Truly speaking there are regions Around the world where such procedures are faster / done quicker.
The EU is not the pimp of the world.
@@donnicholson6801 I didn't say 3rd world country.. not my fault you don't understand what the term "third country" means or moving goods between such countries means 😄
@@psychologianiestacjonarna6558 haha I do know what it means haha it’s a country outside a specific economic structure or of a single market system like the EU 🤣 and won’t lie I didn’t read the dispatching part (moving between countries) but still 👀… hope no one calls it a third world cause imma kick their ass and make them live in one for a year 🤣… am generally looking for bantz sometimes 🥺

What are you blabbering about, mate? Have you ever been to Poland? Poland is more Western than many so-called Western countries. London, Paris and Brussels have been orientalised in the past few decades and are only partly Western. People who want to experience real Europe now go to Prague, Cracow and Budapest.
