Work / Canadian Woman Moving To Warsaw [29]

Hi all,

I have been dating a Polish man from Warsaw.. he leaves to go back to Poland in a few weeks, however we have decided that I will be moving to Warsaw to be with him. I am a little bit nervous as I am from a small city in Canada, and will be making a big move and life change. I am just looking for some advice on things such as what living is like in Poland, Jobs for young english women.. and any other things anyone can think of! I read that I could teach english.. is knowing Polish mandatory? He says I do not need to work when I move to Poland, but I would rather work than stay home haha! Is that normal for men to work, and the women to stay home?!

Leave yourself options as your relationship could turn sour, when your BF is back with his buddies and you are realizing that every night you are left home alone while he is out in the park drinking Lechs.

i dont mind him drinking and what not.. that seems kind of harsh to say thats how he will be? is it normal for most men to do that?? he does not seem that way what so ever.. he is here on work.. thats how we met, my friend knew him before i met him, and she said once he met me he has calmed down ALOT! he usually wants to be with me every day!!

TESOL certificate? what is this, and where do i get it? i 100% want to work as i do understand that I will NEED to make friends of my own, and build some kind of life of my own.

I'm not sure when I will be moving.. My BF works for a company where he travels alot.. he may be taking only one more contract, so that he can open up his own business.. stay in Poland, and then flying me out. So I really do not know how much time I have left here in Canada.. Most likely I will have to take my course in Poland.. and most likely in Warsaw. As for funding for my course.. Im assuming he will pay for this, unless there is any kind of bursaries and/or grants I would be able to apply for.

Courtney, as far as your bf you know him better than any of these people here so don't worry

Thank you! I agree, and as far as failure in our relationship goes.. I guess time will tell. I am not going to worry about what others say because I believe that love is love and if its meant to be, it will be. If my life is destined to be in Poland, it will... if it end up being the opposite.. than I will at least of had the opportunity to live in Poland for a little while.

Other than working in Poland.. does anyone have any other advice for me about LIVING in poland. Things for me to look forward to, things I should be wary of?!

Also, Id like to thank everyone so far for replying to my thread.. much appreciated, thank you for taking the time to help me out! :)

thanks for the imput, but you dont know the relationship i am in, and you dont know either one of us... therefore, yes i know its possible that things may not work out, but it is my relationship and i feel as though it is going somewhere. if things dont work out, i can always come back to canada. as for him not being there for me, he is extremely there for me and loves to do anthing in his power to take care of me. i wil be happy if i am with him, end of story. if all else fails, i can come home. but as i said, thanks for your tips.
