Move to Poland
Hello! I have been living in Denmark for my entire adult life, but my other half is increasingly mentioning a return to Poland… I still have many friends in the country, mainly in Wrocław, and opinions are divided. I would like to hear the opinions of different people… Is there something worth coming back to? 😉 Professionally, in short, I repair boats, I know my way around hulls but I do full service. By profession, I am an industrial painter, but over the years in the industry, I mainly supervised the entire process of preparation, painting, QC, robot control, etc. I have many certificates; for boats, cranes, mobile cranes. Generally, I like when things are happening 😇. I will be very grateful for opinions 👋

Check out job offers first, then prices of apartments in the area. I think the decision will come naturally.

I think you should carefully consider and take into account all aspects of such a move, not just financial. Poles differ from Germans, and certainly from Danes. Tolerance, empathy, attitude towards the law and responsibility, not to mention the "ordinary" smile and kindness in everyday life in the store and office... :-)) In addition, many other things you are accustomed to, such as infrastructure.. bicycle lanes in cities, etc. I won't even mention healthcare and various benefits. In addition, various taxes in Poland are expected to increase soon, as funding for armaments and CPK will cost a fortune. But.. :-)

From my own experience - after a whole adult life in Copenhagen, it will be difficult to find yourself without a plan for yourself. I lived there for 6 years and returned spontaneously, often thinking that I would do it differently... for sure, I wouldn't have what I have in PL in DK (house, car), but I miss the lifestyle from Cph. When I look at us (with my wife), we definitely need to invest excess cash instead of letting it sit in Nordea bank... To sum up, if you have a plan for yourself and can afford to buy a place without a loan, it's worth taking a shot... And also, children... without them, it's easier to move on if you are not satisfied, because serving them a little rollercoaster back and forth is still harder... Good luck

Is there something you miss thinking about when returning? I can't imagine going abroad permanently, for vacation yes, after about 2 weeks I miss people who think in Polish, I know the language, but I express feelings and thoughts better in my native language, I miss certain products in stores, the feeling that I am at home, etc. However, if you have your life arranged in Denmark, you feel good there, now in my opinion it's not the best time to return, I am very worried about what is happening on our eastern border, I am afraid that if it does not end relatively quickly, it will spill over... you are further away from it.
