Study / Portugese erasmus student moving To Poznan. Job, rent, language? [9]

The question is why aren't you getting an education yourself?

I am getting college level but can only finish next May I think, so I'll have a year with almost nothing to do and traveling seemed like an option (to meet other cultures and all that) since the farthest I've been was borderline with Spain. I'll probably travel as a tourist first for 2 week-1 month and then see. Thanks.

Study / Portugese erasmus student moving To Poznan. Job, rent, language? [9]

Thanks, I'll have it in consideration. Yeah poker is gambling but one can have an advantage by knowing probability and poker theory. I also make that amount per day (not hour). I initially wrote my per hour earnings but then changed it to facilitate calculations, sorry about that. If I made 20€/hour I'd be the happiest man alive lol.

I guess I'll go as a tourist then for the first 2 weeks or so to evaluate my options and then make a decision based on that.

Study / Portugese erasmus student moving To Poznan. Job, rent, language? [9]

Hey there,

Some of my friends are going to study in Poznan next year as Erasmus students and I'm planning on moving too. I'm 20, Portuguese and fluent in English and Spanish, both written and spoken form. I can also understand French but can't write nor speak it.

How much of a hard time will I have finding a job that pays the rent plus all the basic stuff (food, bills, internet and all that)? My only working experience was as a waiter in my parents' coffee shop and some months as a drawing tutor preparing high school students for the national exams. I only have high-school level education and don't mind handing out leaflets, working at kebab shops and that kind of stuff.

Also don't mind spending this summer trying to learn as many polish as I can, but I know it's a tough language (scared the hell out of me trying to read stuff in the Polish embassy). I play online poker semi-professionally and currently make around 15€-20€ an hour not counting with tournament winnings, so that's a bonus...maybe enough?

Thanks in advance
