Who it suits

Individuals and couples considering Warsaw within roughly the next six months
Americans with Polish roots who are confirming or pursuing citizenship by descent and want to test the city while the paperwork moves
People who want to test daily life before committing to a lease or a move
Anyone who would rather decide with sourced numbers than with impressions

Who it does not suit

People who need immigration, legal or tax advice (you will need a qualified professional for that)
Anyone without a realistic basis for staying beyond a short visit; a scouting visit still works, but a move plan would not be honest
Larger families or school searches, which need a separate scope
Anyone looking for a tour guide; this is decision support, not sightseeing

What is included

Intake questionnaire and 60-minute planning call: We learn your timing, household, priorities and constraints, and agree what the visit needs to answer.
Personalized living-budget worksheet: One-off and monthly costs for your situation, each with a source link and the date we checked it. Estimates and quotes are labeled separately.
Comparison of three neighborhoods: Three areas matched to your needs, compared on transport, housing type, pace, green space and fit.
Practical scouting itinerary: A plan for your visit built around tests of everyday life: commutes, shopping, evenings, routines.
One local orientation, up to four hours: A single in-person session with Nick in Warsaw, focused on your shortlisted areas and questions.
30-minute follow-up decision session: After your visit, we review what you learned and agree realistic next steps, whatever you decide.
Weekday support: Fourteen calendar days around your agreed visit, on weekdays, up to ten consolidated requests.

An example itinerary

Illustrative example only. Your itinerary is built around your priorities and dates.

Before you travel. Intake, 60-minute planning call, budget worksheet, neighborhood comparison and itinerary.
Day 1, on your own. Arrive, settle in, ride public transport and walk the first shortlisted area in the evening.
Day 2, with Nick (up to four hours). Local orientation across your shortlisted areas: transport, everyday shopping, housing types and your questions.
Day 3, on your own. A rush-hour commute test, a normal grocery shop and a second look at your favorite area on a weekend morning.
After your visit. A 30-minute decision session and a written summary of next steps.

The in-person orientation is one session of up to four hours. The rest of the itinerary is self-guided, with weekday support in writing.

Outcome

You understand whether Warsaw suits you and what to do next. Deciding not to move can be a successful result.

Timing

The planning call, budget and neighborhood comparison happen before you travel, so it helps to contact us several weeks ahead of your visit. Weekday support covers fourteen calendar days around your agreed visit dates.
