WE'RE NOT POLISH... WE'RE POLE-ISH!
Two expats. Two cities. Two perspectives.
Peter, a Brit living in Warsaw, and John, an American based in Kraków, dive into the hilarious, always confusing and often eye-opening reality of building a new life in a foreign country. From navigating Polish bureaucracy, learning a new language, dating, renting, and understanding cultural differences, to deeper conversations about history, immigration, integration, sport, music and money... no topic is off-limits.
