Long time ago I was working for a big company. I was pretty young and 1 of the thing about my job that I loved the most back then was that I had a chance to travel a lot. I really liked the fact that I could spend one day in Barcelona, 1 week in Paris, and another day in New York. I felt that it was type of travelling for free. Normally, I had apartment in London and I loved it. I had my flat there, my friends, family and everything else what was making me happy and what I needed to fully chill out after so many business trips.

And then one day, entirely unexpectedly, I have received that email that I was selected to set up the office in a new city. At first I didn’t fully realize what it meant for me. I thought that it meant just more short trips. But then it turned out that I had to move to Poland. Not only take trips to Poland but completely moved there. I have to admit that I didn’t know what to feel. I need to also admit that I was rather sad about that. I not only had to give up on London and move to new city, but also to one of these Eastern European countries, I had never been to earlier. But made a decision to give it a try. This was supposed to be just for 2 years so I decide that it was not so bad after all.
So you may be curious how it happened that I have been in Poland 20 years longer? The answer is pretty simple. I simply fall in love with Poland. It wasn’t love at first. It didn’t occur at once. It took a moment. But as soon as I arrived I noticed that people are amazing. Even though they do not smile on the street and they are not very talkative, they are extremely helpful always when you need their help. You can be sure that if anything is going wrong, there is always somebody that will react or help you. I also love Polish girls.

They are so charming. I am sure that it is rather needless to ass that my wife is also Polish? What’s more, I fall in love with Polish traditions. I really love that they are very close with family’ members and they spend all of those great traditional holidays together. Certainly, sometimes I had also though moments. E.g., when I couldn’t speak Polish and nobody else could speak English. However then I decided to sign for polish course warsaw and now I am fluent- more info: polish course warsaw! So as you may see – it was not always easy, but that was absolutely worth it.
