Why I Left California for Krakow, Poland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 чер 2024
- Four years ago I left California and have traveled the world. I spent time in Colombia, Southeast Asia, and finally settled down in Poland. Today I talk about the reasons why I left California for Krakow, Poland and why it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Good content man. I am Asian live in California. I know what you mean. I am going there next month
Wes, very true. I lived in Poznan from Aug 2020 until Feb 2024 and Europe for 35+ years. I moved back to SoCal for a while. California is a mess, turning into a third world country. Folks are leaving in droves.
I recommend the UA-cam channel "PLANET KRAKOW". The guy from this channel also left the USA for Poland and has been living in Krakow for several years.
Solid vid
Excellent Video and reasonable points!
Thank you for this video, it is great! I am Polish, I've been to the US many times, and I agree with all you said. I like it here and I wouldn't move to live overseas.
Only what you said about the relationships with women is not the whole story. You are exotic and so attractive here, while we have pretty much the same problems meeting women in our country like you do in yours. We need to go somewhere like Thailand to experience the same as you experience here.
In fact, you can obtain a firearms permit in Poland as a private person, but this requires undergoing psychiatric and other tests, and you also have to prove why you want to have such a weapon. The regulations regarding the storage of weapons and the possible carrying of weapons are very restrictive. And that's very good, I like it in my country. Interestingly, until recently there was a subject in Polish schools (Defense Training), where young people learned to shoot under the supervision of experienced instructors - at shooting ranges, of course. A few years ago, the subject was abolished, but the possibility of learning shooting as part of physical education lessons remained (yes!) and it is a matter of choice of parents and students themselves. After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, the government is considering restoring common shooting education in schools. And I like this too - you should know how to use small arms as a civilian - because various things, including wars, are possible - but you don't have to have them at home right away.
I did not know this, thanks for sharing
@@WheresWes My youngest daughter chose this option and learned how to shoot as part of physical education - the training included mainly pistols/revolvers and various types of shotguns. As part of this type of lesson, they do not teach how to shoot automatic weapons.
Shooting ranges in Poland are generally available and even teenagers under the supervision of their parents can also learn privately - for a fee, of course. During school lessons, parents only pay for the cartridges.
@@WheresWes Dużo rzeczy nie wiesz o Polsce.
@@worldcitizen181 ale chce się dowiedzieć :)
@@Nostrama Zacznij od nauki polskiego, potem pójdzie już z górki. 😁😁
One barrier to Poland is the language which is much more time consuming to learn than tier 1 languages like Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc.. I dabbled in it briefly years back and got to maybe A2 level after a year, so it takes time. Best of luck.
Totally. But everyone speaks English thankfully
@@WheresWes Nie wszyscy.

Hey Wes! So glad you point out these things cuz no one ever wants to.
Regarding the whole gun thing, consider a bit more in that it’s not always apples to apples - some countries have different circumstances- for example in Switzerland guns are not only legal but are essentially part of the national safety and cultural identity there. So there are things to consider when a country like the us is actually founded to be different. ie - freedom isn’t free etc etc.
Please keep up the good work - - I love that you are pointing out all the obvious things that no one wants to say!
Sedementary 🙏
Guns are not illegal in Poland, its a lot easier to get one than it is in Germany (most in EU) for example, yet PL has 30x less guns per capita than DE, the least in EU, we simply dont see a reason to get one. Shocking right, less guns = less crime = no need to buy a gun...
Criminals will always have guns. I’m not waiting 30 minutes for the police to come save me. Safety is your own responsibility
@@JohnSkyLey Real criminals, yes, but we don't have organized gangs here in Poland. The worst you can encounter are drunk football ultras or house thieves. Robberies are rare. Black market weapons are expensive, so homeless people and junkies don't have access to them anyway.
@@JohnSkyLey We don't have armed robberies in Poland. The fact that you've allowed it to become normal to need a gun to live is concerning. In Poland, I feel safe because no lunatic is going to shoot me.
@@JohnSkyLey there are no gangs in Poland, it's almost impossible to meet any criminal, its simoley safe. I think you completely don't understand what does meanto live in safe country. You don't have to have gun at all. Guns are legal in Poland but simple you don't even think to buy a gun , because there is no sucha need. Od course buying a gun is a bit more difficult in Poland, you need to have a permit, you need to have reason to have a gun and you need to pass mental health examination
Hello! I’ve been following you for a while and i love your videos. Do you have any tips for where to look for a monthly rental for appartments in krakow?

Cali has a lot of problems (e.g., drug/homelessness issues), but the opportunities, nature, diversity, and food are incredible. The high cost of living is the only thing that could someday drive me away. Personally, I would like a mix of the US big-city hustle culture and the slow pace of Europe.
It's not just California. An average 25-30 year old woman from a city who has average looks and who is averagely outgoing will have slept with 10-15 men, and I'd say that's a conservative estimate. This goes for North America, Latin America, Western Europe, and probably much of the rest of the world (outside of very socially conservative countries like India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc). Obviously there are exceptions, but we're talking averages. If you meet a girl within that age range and she sleeps with you within the first few dates, it is very likely that she's done the same thing with numerous other men. Men in 2024 have little choice but to reconcile themselves with this fact.
Guns in europe are not ban! Just ownership regulated.
Dude, you do realize you could NEVER claim to be a conservative in the USA while being for banning guns, universal healthcare and good pubic transportation. All three of those are an anathema to the modern Republican party!
Never said I'm Republican, just that I'm conservative with liberal social politics.
Wes you're just libertarian and you don't know it!
Libertarian is probably the closest to where I would align.
Great video. Although I would say whats interesting is that a lot of the benefits you list in regards to healthcare, infrastructure, and food are more the result of liberal policies than conservative ones (or at least what conservatives would vote for in America). Glad you are more at peace there than in Colombia.
Asians is the only "Group" that we had no bad interactions with across the centuries hence we treat them with respect. Western Europeans treat us like 2nd sort, Eastern Slavs treat us coz they think they are better, South is OK, Lat America is OK. When it comes to Africa we have neutral stance as we never met those people (we didn't colonize and they never lived in our country en mass) but it is changing in bad direction due to recent illegal immigration crisis. Asians on the other hand treat us with respect, we had a sizable Asian community that lived in Poland already and didn't cause any problems also we had good relations with Japan across the years and Korea recently therefore Asians are seen as friends and people we respect.
Thank you! Hello from Sri Lanka! ( I hope you guys don't mind South Asians either) 😊
🇵🇱🇱🇰
Hardly see any Chinese in Los Angeles . I was there last month .
The regular thing that Californians are bein told when immigrating to let's say Texas is "Don't bring your Californian politics with you".
In Poland it's the same but I see you don't have to hear that.
Anyway enjoy your stay, it'd be great if you liked here and (in time) become one of us.
we will see what happens in the future :)
How you did it is the video we want jaja
How are you dling with polish language? I know most speak english in Krakow but it could come in handy
I'll only start learning if I make long term plans to stay here
Just 7 hours ago
I live here and it's getting worse every week.
Podcast or what?🧏♂️
You have a point with the dating culture in CA, it's hard unless you're top tier. Another good point on Euro women, the fitness aspect is apparent.
california doesnt just have a weather, its one of the high gdp states. Some of the smartest people in the world live there working for the top companies.
Yup, there are opportunities in CA, but not even gets to be part of spoils that state offers!
Actually you are wrong. Its literally top 7 gdp economies globally, forget states.
Elon Musk run to Texas cos high taxes and poverty, streets holmess.
Many thises smart people run from California.
If you have your own one bedroome apartment, how much would it cost in Kraków?
From100e to 160e per month😊
Nah more like 400-600 euros now
Still cheap.
@@WheresWes
you also forgot to mention that krakau has a very high cost of living for PL standards. if one were to go to smaller towns and such the rent is much cheaper than iin krakau, in my large german pre war apartment in a smaller town in Silesia , woj. OPole, i pay only 400 zl. a month for the rent inclluding electricity and extra for water. krakau is expensive by PL standards. R
Wess, I thought you were in Colombia?
just came back from LA. lol there are homeless everywhere . the only place i dont see hobos is disneyland, universal and the muesums. the bums are all over the public transit too especially the b line/red line. they are loud too. i made the mistake with not renting a car and it took me one hour 20 from a hotel which is near lax one way
I'm panamanian and part of the reason Ive been here un Medellín is because i'm latino and panama was Colombia.... Similar and also polar opposites.... Panamanians Say juega vivo.... And now that i'm here i realize it's prolly cuz of the colombian mareo culture if tryna hit You over the head when they can
And also dude women appreciate ambition here... You don't have to actually Even ve rich. Just having goals and shit colombian women appreciate ir
Whereass panama is kinda more laud back party like the Costa where i'm doing too much
@WheresWes Why do you prefer to live in Krakow instead of Warsaw?
I always prefer the 2nd biggest city of countries. Not a fan of capital cities generally.
@@WheresWes Kraków is better, I'm saying this as Poznaniak.
It also has tons of opportunities but is cheaper, has the best nightlife in Poland but is also peacefull (ever since Cracovia and Wisła ultras stopped running around the city with machettes). It has the prettiest historical center with Royal traditions, many cultural events. It was the capitol of Poland during the middle ages.
Warsaw is the biggest, busiest and richest but of course many people such as yourself are not fans of capital cities.
@@WheresWes That's interesting. Why not?
@@MyPrideFlag Krakow is great, but it has too many English dudes on stag trips. I personally prefer Warsaw since it has a less touristic vibe.
@@MyPrideFlag Witam, my fellow Poznaniak. ❤
went to in/out burger and its overrated but damn its very popular there. nothing great about it. was thinking of trying pink hot dog but didnt see it as appealing . i even saw hobos at beverly hills garden too lol
Lands where guns are illegal or heavily restricted, and highly homogenous, work. UK has mainly robbed folks of their gun rights, and is heavily unsafe due to the utter lack of agreement on worths and norms, and thus, high Tribalism from most migrants being shipped into the UK.
Why does California have a hobo problem but Florida doesn’t
Or less hobos
Vegas wasn’t that bad . I didn’t see many hobos in Vegas unless it was in old Vegas
Dude. You dont know to much about Polish cities.. Warsaw has mpre park than Kraków and much more green spaces ..and warsaw is the only one capitol what has direct border with National Park. You can go to the Kampinoski Park Narodowy by city bus. BTW Women in Poland are exactly the same like in USA. I live in Poland 44 years and was with dozens of Polish women in many relationships. Pasport bross like you will get quick reality check :-D
your social security check at retirement age would be very small because you havent pay much tax in US.
But you have alot of guts to try out long term relationship with latina and now slavic girls at such young age.
I suggest you buy a rural house in eastern Europe as your home base or storage area. Hopping from apartment to apartment is not stable.
Social security isn't going to be around when Im at retirement age anyways, it's not sustainable. It's up to me to have long term investments
Woke is not good for feminism. Americans seem torn between extremes.
krakau is much smaller than la. you are comparing unequal things. i f you go to a smaller usa city equal to krakau you would have the same lifestyle in the usa. i know krakau well, also there is very little tipping in PL., you do not have to tip every meal or such, unexpected. yes, PL is nice but you are making uneven comparisons. but still interesting. so stay in PL. r
As an American of Polish descent I proudly renounced the inferior Polish culture of my parents for Superior Anglo-Saxon American culture.

@@metanoian965 I'm just calling out the Polish people for practicing fake Christianity, your people should honestly just be Baptist or non-denominational like normal Christians, seriously what's with all the Catholic larping.
@@metanoian965 Bro your people are literally a bunch of Catholic larpers. Why can't you guys just be Baptist or non-denominational and practice Christianity like normal people.
When folks from these traditional Lands go to first world english speaking Lands like the UK and USA, many do so as they hate beimg held to high standards, or shit on their own culture and folks , or basocakly want to go, learn hyper liberalism, then take it back home to make home like New York, LA or most liberal/socialist western European Lands. Such luxury Beliefs are the Downfall of any Civilization. Thus, Poland is refreshing for you, for now ! Newly "chosen" Government (EU installed) is hyper liberal and globalist.
