• They say that wages in Poland are low, but the cost of living also isn’t very high (at least not as high as in Western cities). The good thing is that salaries are growing every year and there are pay rises at the beginning of each year. Also, if you decide to change your job you will get yourself a salary increase for sure.
• Cities offer all the services and entertainment one needs, but living in the village is also comfortable. There are all communal amenities necessary for a normal life.
• Nature in Poland is amazing! It’s very diversified and it has everything which is needed for a nice weekend or memorable holidays. It has fantastic mountains in the South, seaside in the North, and lots of forests, lakes and National Parks in between.

• Summer is summer, winter is winter. There’s a big distinction between seasons which makes life more interesting. Poland has a fresh scented air in spring, scorching hot in summer, colourful leaves in autumn and snow in winter.
