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.

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...

@@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

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.

@jarosawklejnocki6633 6 дней назад

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.

@WheresWes 6 дней назад

I did not know this, thanks for sharing

@jarosawklejnocki6633 6 дней назад

@@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.

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.

@Ryan-ul7dy 6 дней назад

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.

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!

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.
