Brit in Poland
People & community · Personal vlogs

The bits that don’t fit on a map.

Brit in Poland began as a way to explore a country. Somewhere along the way, the project also became a record of what living here changed, what kept me here, and some of the harder moments that happened in between.

Why this page exists

Not every important story is about a place.

The regional pages tell you where I have been. These videos are more about why Poland matters to me — the choices, memories and changes that sit behind all those journeys.

Some are upbeat. Some are reflective. One is especially personal. Together they make the project feel a little less like a catalogue and a little more like the life that created it.

01 · Belonging

When somewhere else starts feeling like home.

Three different ways of circling the same question: what made Poland stick?

02 · The journey

One country. A very long to-do list.

My Quest to Discover Poland is the closest thing here to a manifesto for the project: why I keep travelling, what I am trying to understand and why “seeing Poland” turned into something far bigger than ticking cities off a list.

03 · Everyday life

When Poland decides to test your relationship with winter.

Surviving the Coldest Winter I’ve Seen in Poland is less about explaining the weather and more about living through it — the kind of everyday experience that becomes part of the story of building a life here.

The harder things to put into a travel video.

Personal loss, identity and the bigger ideas that sometimes sit behind how I look at Poland.
