I Was Completely Wrong About Poland After Living in Norway (As an American)

I’m an American who’s been living in Norway for the past 9 months, and during that time I got very used to the Norwegian lifestyle the quiet streets, reserved culture, and slower pace of life.

So when I visited Warsaw, Poland, the contrast honestly shocked me.

From prices and public transport to the energy of the city, architecture, grocery stores, and how people interact socially Poland felt completely different compared to life in Norway.

In this video, I share the biggest culture shocks I experienced visiting Poland after living in Norway, and how it changed the way I see both countries.

This isn’t about which country is better — it’s about how different life can feel within Europe.
