Has anyone moved from the UK to Poland?
My wife is Polish and we’ve been married for 13 years. We have a son and another child on the way. We’ve recently been discussing the possibility of moving to Poland for several reasons.
My main thought is that if we’re going to do it, it’s better to move sooner rather than later so the children can integrate more easily and learn the language while they’re young. My wife is a supermarket manager, and her company allows international transfers. I work as a design engineer in the aerospace sector, but I’m open to other roles.
The sale of our house in the UK should give us enough money to buy a property outright in Poland. I’m wondering if anyone else has made the move and how difficult they found it.
I don’t speak Polish fluently by any means, but I can just about get by. I’m confident my language skills will improve once I’m surrounded by Polish speakers, though I know it will still be challenging at first.
What I’m really looking for is honest advice and personal stories from others who have done it — especially how you found work, how hard the transition was, and any lessons you learned.
