Some of these conversations are deeply personal. Some are first impressions from people visiting Poland for the first time. Others dig into work, immigration, business or what it means to build a life here. Together they add something I cannot provide on my own: other points of view.
This page is deliberately unfinished. As Brit in Poland grows, so should the range of people and experiences represented here.

Know someone whose story belongs here?
I want this collection to keep expanding — more backgrounds, more professions, more experiences and more ways of seeing Poland. If you have a story, project or perspective that genuinely fits Brit in Poland, I’d be interested to hear it.
