"Why I Left the USA for Life in Poland": ( My Warsaw Story )
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2023
- Why would anyone want to leave a comfortable life in America for Poland? Maybe for the chance to broaden their horizons, eat pierogi every day, or maybe just for the challenge of pronouncing 'szczęśliwy’ correctly.
In this video, I'll share my personal story of why I left the USA for life in Poland. As a teacher, I was seeking a new challenge, and Warsaw offered just that. Not only was I able to continue teaching, but I was able to do it in a new and exciting environment.
But it's not just about work - I've also fallen in love with the food, culture, and language of Poland. From pierogi to zurek, the cuisine here is a treat for the taste buds. And the culture is rich and vibrant, with a fascinating history that's woven into everyday life.
But let's not forget about the main reason I moved to Warsaw - the chance to experience life as an ex-pat in a European capital city! It's been an adventure from the start, with plenty of funny mishaps along the way. From struggling with the language to navigating the city's public transport system, I've had my fair share of comedic moments.

Perfect!!! Another foreigner who is Team Poland!!! Thanks for watching my video.
@@taminazadpoland always and god bless you on your travels
@@wavveytae4181 Thank you for your service.
Thanks for your service. Come back one day.
@@piotrjasielski thanks I will in the future. I enjoyed their fruit drinks at restaurants that was made from scratch
Welcome to Poland 😊 Nice to have you here!
Samsara is one of my favorite perfumes!! Thanks for watching the video. 😊
Hi you are very beautiful and positive. I'm glad that you found your home in Poland. Soon it will be warmer and more sunny days. Good luck with the channel. I keep my fingers crossed
Siema Dawid...Thank you for the warm hello and good wishes to my new channel. I'm happy that spring is finally here too. All the best to you!
Intelligent, charming, beautiful - a new flower in Poland. :-)
Thank you!!!
Moved to krakow poland from London. Very satisfied strongly recommend
Kraków is a great city!!
Why Kraków?
Tam i nazad dobry tytuł haha🤩😎
Good luck in Poland 🇵🇱❤️ have a splendid stay.
Beautiful and inteligent woman ❤ Poland loves you
Thanks you are very kind. 🤗
To prawda. Kochamy ją.
As a Polish person I want to say that you are welcomed 😊🇵🇱 We need kind and intelligent people ✨
Your words are very kind and make me feel really welcome here.
I'm from Los Angeles originally and I really appreciate the public transit in Warsaw. Plus it's actually super convenient that English comprehension here is so high that I've never felt the need to learn Polish. I'll probably stay another year or two before I move on to another country.
I agree. My Polish is lagging because they do speak English so well. Thanks for watching!!!
Best of luck in Poland! Enjoy your stay here :) If you like nature and hiking, make sure to check out one day Morskie Oko and Dolina Pięciu Stawów in the south of Poland :)
Morskie Oko was lovely. Hiking in that area gave me flashbacks of growing up in Alaska. Thank you for watching my video and commenting!! 🤗
You are such a positive and inspiring person! I wish you the best!
Thank you for the kind words. All the best to you!
Your student are lucky having you as their English teacher.
I am lucky to have my students because when I "teach" I learn so much too! Thanks for watching my video!
@@taminazadpoland I hope that I see more videos from you in the future. At least few more.
Życzę pani spełnienia marzeń i rozwoju kariery .Jest pani bardzo sympatyczną i atrakcyjną kobietą miło popatrzeć 😊
Thanks... you are really kind. I appreciate the good wishes for my channel. 🤗
Wszystkiego dobrego na nowej drodze życia 😀
Pozdrawiam prowadzącą oraz oglądających 👍
Thank you for the kind wishes!!! Pozdrawiam!!!
I wish you well and hope this city will become your place on earth!
Thanks for the well wishes. I do like Warsaw❤️
All the best for You! I’m happy to hear that You like living in Warsaw 😊
Thanks for watching!!!!!
Good day
Yeah, I agree with you and welcome to Poland. I am Canadian, arrived to Poland in 2017 with my Chinese wife just for couple of weeks vacation. Well, 6 years later we are still here and enjoy every day a lot. Of course once a year I go back to see my friends and family in Ontario and my wife goes other way to China to see her family.
I am positive, you will enjoy being in Poland more and more. I just want to give you one little advice, stay away from negative and constantly complaining people.
Have a wonderful life in your new home country.
Thanks for watching my video!!! Canadians and Alaskans are neighbors☺️. Maybe we are neighbors if you are living in Warsaw.
Great video I also love Warsaw. Good luck in developing you channel.
I moved to Poland because I liked living here
I really like it here too. Thanks for checking out my channel.
I am very pleased that you like Poland! Personally, I have lived here forever, my dream is to go to the USA, but I would never move to any other country! Be healthy! Pozdrawiam! :D
Take it from me, you’re very lucky to be living in Poland. The US has beautiful nature but so does Poland and I love the quality of life in Krakow.
Follow your dreams. We have only one life. I hope you get to at least visit the USA one day. I suggest you visit Alaska!! 😀
Welcome to Poland 🇵🇱
You are lovely person ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words. ☺️
We are fellow Americans. Been living abroad for 15 years and the last 6 in Warsaw. It is a great city.
I definitely agree. I don't have plans to move anywhere else. 😊
You are so amazing!!! God bless you dear.
Thank you so much!
Well-spoken and intelligent woman who gives a compelling story why she chose to live in Warszawa. I have noticed Tamara's polish accent is really impressive based on a couple of polish words she said. Talking about Panama, a country Tamara's family came from to the U.S., I have some good friends in a town of Boquete., My friends really love living in Boquete during American winters so I will probably visit Boquete one day. Warmest greetings from a Polish-American oraz dużo zdrowia i powodzenia w Polsce.
Dzięki for the compliments. Boquete is wonderful my family spends time in that beautiful region. It's where the special Panama Geisha coffee comes from that I talked about in my other video. Many Americans like that region of Panama for retirement. Thanks for checking out my video!!!
@@taminazadpoland Complements are well-deserved - you are a very good speaker and presenter and I can sense a true interest in Poland and Poles in your video indeed American fiends who spend some time in Boquete , have leaned some Spanish and try to help local cat rescue shelter so they are contributing something positive to a local Panamanian community as opposed to be just a snowbird and a gringo.
WOW...Great Video ❤❤❤❤❤
Very glad that you like it here
More coming up. Thanks for watching!!!!! 😊
Thank you for making this video and enjoying my country, it makes me happy to see that you understand and like our culture! Have a great time in Poland!
I'm really enjoying learning more about Poland. Thanks for watching!!!
Welcome to Poland ❤ wish you to spend here the greatest time of your life 😊
When I saw the name of Chanel I thought there are two of you. I hope you enjoy Poland.
Nope just me. Thanks for watching the video!!!

Lovely personality, enjoy Poland. I can look and listen you five minutes and I can tell you are wonderful person.
I'm trying to be "me" on the channel. But that's one of my "fears" of doing this yt channel that people will judge you negatively. Thanks so much for giving me a positive rating. ✨. Sending the same to you!!!!
Happy to have you here. Wish you well.
Thank you for the wishes!!!
1:45 good choice of watch whatever it is. I have keen eye. Witamy w Polsce
It's a Citizen watch and was a gift that actually I have had it for more than 25 years. That's a miracle because I typically lose jewelry. Thanks for watching my video with such a careful eye. 😀
@@taminazadpoland I wear Citizen titanium solar. I recommend you upgrade. Greetings from Krakow.
Enjoy your stay! We need such positive people. Greetings from Kraków.
Thank you so much. Kraków is 😍 beautiful.
Never lived in Poland, but looking forward to seeing the channel grow!
Thanks for watching. New videos coming soon. ✨✨
Good luck! Enjoy Poland. ❤
Thank you for the lucky wishes!
Great video 📸. Greetings from central Poland 💕
Bardzo Dziekuje for watching!!!
„Tam i nazad”- ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!! 🤗
It's amazing to have native speakers teaching English here!
When I moved abroad I was already at an OK level in English ( mostly in writing and reading ). However, as soon as I had my first conversation I realized that I can not understand the native accent. Good to have you here 👍
I'm really impressed with the level of English in Warsaw. My students work hard to feel confident speaking. Good luck with your language learning journey. 😊
@@taminazadpoland I'm already at a comfortable level. However I'm glad to that we have native speakers, like I said you might not be aware of it - but it's a huge boost to our learning capability. Because there's 2 layers to learning English: reading + writing and speaking + hearing.. while most Polish English teachers can handle the reading/writing part very well, the writing and hearing part is lacking. So yeah, awesome to have you here again :) Take us to the next level of English!
Nice to see you here :)
Hey, thanks!!!
It is so nice to see a person happy here in Warsaw :) So cool you've made a video together with Bamby, that's how I found your channel! Wish you all the best! I feel sorry for some of the comments here, but by now you know how different people behave in the internet when they are anonymous vs in real life ;)
Thank you so much!! I really enjoy Warsaw and it's been fun doing videos with Bamby about our experiences here. More videos are on the way!!! Thanks for watching
Hi Tamara ! I'm your absolute fan ! 😊😄✌👍
Thank you for being a fan!!!!!
Welcome to Poland ;) 🎉

@@taminazadpoland And vice versa 🙂 I hope you will enjoy your time in Warsaw. You have one more subscriber 🙂
Very pleasant vibe radiates from you
Thank you for sending positive vibes back to me. 💫
Nice to see you Tamara 🙂 I'm glad that you enjoy staying in Poland. It was also great to attend to your english class in AoNY. Greetings. Darek 🙂👍
Hi Darek!!! Thank you for watching the video. It was a pleasure to have you in class. Powodzenia 🤗
wahouu 🤩 very good Video ! keep going 😃
Thank you! Very inspired by your channel too!
Good luck!
I Wish You Well❤I miss Poland a lot
Thanks for the good wishes.
Fantastic happy girl👌🏻
Yes, Jestem szczęśliwa. I'm happy. Thank you for watching the video!
Took me a while to catch that Tam i Nazad meaning😆 which is weird as I'm Polish expat in UK. It is always great to see people of other nations living happy lifes in Poland. All the best in your life and to your channel. Will follow.
nazad is an russian origin word
It's not the most common phrase. More typical is Tam i z powrotem but that is a mouthful for me. 🤪. Thanks for watching the channel new videos coming soon
@@taminazadpoland I know. I use it but very rarely. My father more often. When person had something to do with horses use it more likely. In Lodz where I come from there's not been any horses for a long time. Just couldn't put those two together, person from the USA and such a typical Polish word. Awesome😄
Będę oglądał, pozdrawiam :D
Dzięki!!!!
Good luck... I miss Polond a lot
Got subscribed!
Nice to see positive people in Poland !

Woow, your pronunciation in Polish sounds sooo nice, damn. Good job!

"Tam i nazad" sounds for me more like "There and back again". By Bilbo Baggins.
Cheers from Poland!
Have a Nice Stay !
Welcome Home
Welcome in Poland ❤
Welcome in Poland :)
Bardzo dziekuje!
You're welciome❤
Thanks for watching the video. 😀
Greetings from Poland
Thank you for the greetings!!! 😊
Top
Now you have similar temperature as in Anchorage.
That's right!!! Today's weather in Anchorage & Warsaw are similar but Anchorage has snow. ❄️ Thanks for watching my video!
Thank you Preply...
You're welcome!!
Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 😊😊
Bardzo dziekuje!!!!
Nice video and funny name of the channel.
Thanks for watching!!!
I'm glad you chose our country. I have been in the U.S. since I was born, and the changes that have taken place there over 40 years are sad. Going out on the street you are afraid that someone will shoot you, medical care is a sh**. It costs a fortune if you break your leg. On top of that, mental health care is practically non-existent.I flew to the U.S. in the early 1990s, and it was after my life in communism were trips to paradise. Today, being in the US, I feel that this country is much worse to live in than any other country in Europe. I'm glad you found a peaceful place to live. I wish you much health and happiness :)
Welcome to Poland
Thank you for the warm welcome!! 😊
Welcome 😁😮
Uuu fajnie chcial bym mieć takiego nauczyciela
good choice
I think it is a good choice. Thanks for watching the video!
I like the name of your channel, great choice. Also the cool thing is that those east of Poland like Ukrainians, Russians and maybe Belarusians will understand what it means.
Perfect that you understood the name!!! 😊
Really really nice video! Give us more!
Thank you. I'm working on it. Coming soon.
Good luck in Poland
Thank you!!!
Everyone that respect polish soil and will fit in is more then welcome. Poland enjoys to be ethnic after 1000 years of bad history its not about racism its about enjoying own heritage.
You are right. If people learned more about Polish history they would not use those stereotypes against Poland. I am super happy with my life in Poland. Thanks for watching my video!
I am Polish and speak the language, Poles have good sense of humor as well, sometimes all they have to do is say their last name and I can barely restrain myself from laughing , lot of the names can be just so hilarious in a way of their meaning. Pozdrowienia!
