Life / Moving to Krakow and in need of advice and pointers. [18]

Merged: American moving to Krakow in June, looking for advice

Hi all -

I just received an opportunity to work abroad in Krakow. I'm extremely excited but the date to start is soon.

For other Americans in Krakow, I was hoping you could give me some advice on what I need to do immediately to get this going. The employer is taking care of the Visa, naturally.

- Need a place to stay. I know of Gumtree but I would rather deal with an English speaker who can 'guide' me. I'm starting in June so ideally I want a place mid May.

- Health insurance recommendations? I know most recommend getting private insurance?
- Is it possible to open a bank account before I arrive?

Sorry this post is somewhat vague, I just found out about the offer and I am all over the place right now.

I'm sure it is. I Just got an internship in Poland and it's 3,500 zloty a month! Huge pay cut from USA but experience will be worth it I hope.

Play has an internet package with 4gb for 19zl. You can then add a monthly plan of unlimited data for 45 zloty.

Then just get some cheap SIP account and get calls over data... Cheap unlimited plan.
