Ok, so I'm a 23 year old college student that wants a break from school and move far away from my home town (San Diego, CA. USA). I did some schooling in India, Mexico, and here in the USA and I've also traveled to Brazil, Colombia, Japan, Canada.. and many other countries. I have not however, been to Europe. I will be going to Finland and Sweden this summer for school though.. it will be a short program though (4 weeks). Furthermore, I have decided to make a drastic change and pack some bags and move to Europe. First, I wanted to move to one of those super "tourist-popular" countries like France, Italy, or England. But I came to realize that it's crazy expensive in those places. I did some research on more economical countries in Europe ... they all point to the eastern European countries like Bulgaria, Poland, etc. I had an internal attraction to Poland before and have been somewhat interested in that country (and in Polish girls too :)). So I ask, what can I do or expect from this absurdity of mine to just leave my native land for a few months to get away from routine and learn and meet new people and culture ?? I actually plan on taking about $10,000 and if i need more I'll just work over the net (I have money in stocks). How long can I last though with 10 grand in Poland?? Moreover, how hard is it to find even a job as a waiter or bartender (I have experience in that) so I'm not to tight with money??? Please, me Polish friends, give me some advise... I'm flying solo on this one!!
