Emigrate / Immigrate to Poland? I don't need to work. [33]
Apologies for my absence.
I'm soon to be retired with a reasonable pension at the tender age of 49, which is why I wouldn't have to work.
I'm fascinated with languages and have been learning Polish, on and off, for several years.
My trips to Poland have been many and varied, but one thing remains constant and that is a 'feeling of happiness' when I'm in Poland.
I know there was trouble in the Garden of Eden, and I'm not looking for paradise. But I genuinely like Poland and the people of Poland, their friendliness has been overwhelming at times. I doubt it's because I have cash to throw about, because I don't, I travel light on a tight budget and am at best described as frugal.
I have travelled the world, lived every moment, met some awful people and met some delightful people - I'm far from being naive in any respect, which is why I posted this thread - I wanted to see what words of wisdom I could gather from those in the know, those living the reality of Poland on a full time day to day basis.
The log cabin dream in the country side is of course a dream, I know the harsh reality of such exists only in films and for the millionaire brigade, but I'd opt for something similar or like as opposed to the hustle and bustle of city life.
With regard to the community spirit, well if there is none, it will be on parr with what we currently have in the UK. I revolve in a society where no one has time to care, but I survive just fine.
I apologise if my post has caused some misunderstandings, but each and every response is massively appreciated, I really do value them, thank you.
