Many years ago I was working for a big corportion. I was pretty young and 1 of the aspect of my job which I loved the most back then was that I was travelling a lot. I really liked the fact that I can spend 1 day in Barcelona, 1 month in Paris, and another day in New York. I felt that it was kind of travelling for free. Normally, I was living in London and I liked it. I had my flat there, my friends, family and everything else what was making me content and what I needed to totally rest after so many business trips.

And then one day, entirely unexpectedly, I have received that email that I was chosen to set up the office in another city. At first I wasn’t totally aware what it meant for me. I thought that it meant only more short trips. But then it turned out that I needed to move to Poland. Not only take trips to Poland but completely moved there. I have to admit that I didn’t know what to feel. I need to also admit that I was rather sad about that. I not only had to give up on London and move to other city, but also to 1 of these Eastern European countries, I have never been to earlier. But made a decision to give it a try. This was supposed to be just for three years so I decide that it was not that long after all.

So you might be wondering how it happened that I have been in Poland 33 years longer? My reply is rather simple. I just fall in love with Poland. It wasn’t love at the beginning. It didn’t happen immediately. It took few years. But as soon as I arrived I noticed that guys are amazing. Altough they do not smile to each other and they are not very talkative, they are highly helpful always when you need their help. You could be sure that if anything is going wrong, there is always somebody that will react or help you. I also fall in love with Polish girls.

They are so charming. I believe that it is rather needless to ass that my wife is also Polish? Furthermore, I fall in love with Polish customs. I really love that they are so close with family’ members and they spend all of these amazing traditional holidays together. Surely, sometimes I had also though days. For instance, when I couldn’t say anything in Polish and nobody else could speak English. But then I made a decision to sign for polish course warsaw and now I am fluent- more info: polish course warsaw! So as you can see – it was not always easy, but this was absolutely worth it.
