Hi to all - I work in Telco  sector, i am 39, and I am in Warsaw for one month already. Seen the city center, Kampinos national park, Vistula... nice, but I am bored from just walking alone here. So if there is some activity among expats in Warsaw, I am ready to join.
Cheers

Hi Aleks,

I`m in Wroclaw too I can give you some tips on whet to visit, etc. Where did you learn Polish?

hello someone in katowice?

My name is Ellen.  I will be living in Krakow this summer, on my own.  I am a very young 70 and plan to "immerse" myself in daily life there, go to all the museums and attractions around town and day / overnight trips nearby.  I rented an apartment near the Jewish Quarter.  I will be in Krakow from June 15 - Aug 10.

I have never lived on my own in a foreign country, or even away from home all summer, so this is a new experience for me. I am very excited, but also a bit anxious!  I am hoping to make contact with local English-speaking expats, who may have some advice, suggestions, guidance and possibly activities that I can join in. 

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all, I'm Miles, I'm moving to Warsaw with my family in September. I will be teaching English but would also be very interested in any radio work, as I have considerable experience in this area. Voiceover work and other opportunities would be of interest too. In my free time I am music obsessed, with a particular love of Welsh language music. Would love to meet some people for a beer or two, particularly Welsh language speakers, but anyone really. Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I am Marcel a Dutch Senior Processing technologist (yes, I am not 25 anymore...) and new in Poznan! For work I travelled the world, but always from the Netherlands. First time I live abroad.

After Labour & Consitution Day I started my new job with Unilever Foods R&D / Knorr here in Poznan. First weeks I was quite busy arranging housing and to get familiar with my new job, colleagues & the City. But now a more normal life starts, it would be nice to meet some interesting, nice & fun people to spend some time with in the lonely hours...

Yesterday (Corpus Christi) I went to a concert of Ania Dabrowska at the MTP Sala Ziemi (Earth Hall). A great gig, but it would have been more fun with friends. So, do you like concerts (pop, rock, folk or jazz) and would like to join me, please send me a message.

Not into concerts, but you like a good coffee and some conversation, let me know...

For now I can communicate in English, Dutch and a mixture of English/German (understanding German is fine, talking a bit more difficult). I'am planning to learn Polish, but being a beta, it will take me some time...

Today I was testing some cross / hybrid bikes. Planning to buy one soon and use it to commute to work and for a weekend spin. So, do you know a cycling expat group or want to start one...shout...

Hope to talk to / meet you soon!

Hi everyone!

I'm Eduardo, from Brazil.
Currently, my wife (from Poznan) and I live in Curitiba (Brazil), but we're moving to Poland in the next couple of months.

I've been to Poland many times, always visiting. It'll be the first time living there.
(Besides Brazil I've only lived in Northern Ireland).

I've joined expat.com hoping to meet people and learn more about Poland through expats' eyes. I love to cook and go out for a good meal or cup of coffee.

Hopefully I'll get to know some of you in the near future.

Best,

Eduardo

Hey everyone, my name is Lilian. I am 21 years old. I am half Filipino and half Indian, currently in India. I was born in Oman and lived there for most of my life(I still go back there every now and then).

I recently completed my Bachelors of Art in Journalism, English and Psychology (yes, triple majors!). And so I hope to go on a year long holiday to Poland before I come back to India and officially start working.

Hey Bubu, welcome aboard!

Hi everyone,
Karmsun from US here.
Have been looking at several places in Europe to retire and did not realize Poland had such a low Cost Of Living until recently. How easy or hard will it be for me as a US citizen to retire in Poland ? Have looked at Embassy website but I am not able to draw any conclusions from there. Anyone with first hand experience that has easy to understand info ? Is a pension of $1500 sufficient to live on ?
Thank you very much

Hi, I only recently moved to Warsaw and looking to set up a business here. A lot of questions but not easy to find help or guidance. Somewhat I sadly feel that the polish helpfulness is a mear facaad to actual behaviour. I am a bit confused and sad but still hoping to establish contacts with great people.
How is your construction business going? Cheers, Mary

Hello! We were recently on a two week tour of Europe and stopped in Poland and just fell in love with the place. We have been considering moving to Europe for some time now but I believe we are more than ready to move after our visit!

Do you mean construction generally or particular branch?

Hello
Are you in Poland now?

regards

No we are back in the United States now.  We would love to move in the next six months. Warsaw, Katowice, Oswiecim, or Krakow area is where we would like to live.
