You are indeed correct with the Schengen visa in Poland. I'll get flack for saying this but I'm just stating facts one of the reasons Poland isn't run down or crime ridden like so many other cities in Europe in the last 10 years is because they have taken a hard stance on their immigration policy and they have been criticized for it. They are one of the few European countries left with solid controlled boarders. And the proof is in the pudding , their country still has law and order and very, very little crime, specifically young males committing the crimes in comparison to places like Stockholm , Amsterdam or Berlin. And yes the winters are cold there.
Yes, via the US-Poland Bilateral Agreement, you may enter Poland for 90 days and leave for 24 hours and return to Poland. There's no limit. So you could do this without having to apply for the Long Stay Visa. I learned about this tactic via the Wandering Hartz How to Outsmart the 90/180 Schengen Rule video posted 1 month ago. This is what I plan to do, too. Polska is a beautiful country! ❤😊
I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Poland. Next time, you should see Gdańsk, the entire Tri-City area, as well as Kashubia and its lakes. If you like greenery, you'll love the Tri-City Landscape Park, especially on mountain bikes :) If you want, I'll be happy to prepare a list of attractions and ways to get to interesting places and smaller towns in the area :) Greetings from Poland and have a great trip.
Thank you David for showing this city. I would have never thought of travelling to Krakow but it looks really beautiful and it is not over touristy. I wonder what their tourist visa policy is. I def would like to travel their.
Quick comment - the editing for these videos has been top notch. I watch a ton of travel vloggers and this is top notch stuff. Must have taken a ton of time.
In Bydgoszcz where I live, we also go to city center stop at the cafe/bar and look at people. ;) - It was drinking water - Immigration in Poland can be a pain in the ass, you need help from someone to wrap your head around this topic I love Prague, hope you release video soon. My plan is to get there in July
Want to say thank you for making all this content! Especially Colombian to warn people! Big thanks and hug from The Netherlands! If you plan to visit The Netherlands? Feel free to let me know.
Great video, man. You’ve really improved over the last couple of years. One thing I noticed while vacationing in France - while walking on the streets, especially at night, my head isn’t constantly on a swivel and my ears attentive to any unusual noises. That’s very different from vacationing in Colombia. 😉
Thanks man! I’m happy you enjoyed it! Nati helped a lot with the editing. Yes, this is very true! And I think this part of Europe is even safer than Western Europe. It’s very nice not having to have your head on a swivel all the time.
As an American that lived in Poland for a year, one thing I'll add is that you are only seeing things from the summer perspective. Its pretty depressing in the winter. It gets dark by 3pm every single day. If it's snowy, it's fine. If not, it's damp and cold. Month after month. That also helps explain the "coldness" in personalities sometimes. Not easy to go from depressed for 7 months to positive and friendly for 5 months out of the year. But in the summer, everyone is active and outside enjoying the sun. As an American, I never appreciated the sun until a winter in Poland. Its June, people are excited to be outside no mater what the activity. I do agree summer is a great time to be there. Good vibes.
@@funkmachine9094 Normal for Europe, yes. Not normal for non-Europeans. Go look at the map of average sunlight per year. Significant difference vs North America
You should link up with where is wes who is in Krakaw at the moment. He was a former gringo Colombian vlogger who now lives there full time and has mentioned you as being a great vlogger.
Really love your videos and that place looks fantastic @LifewithDavid . Are you able to tell me the city and the place you were at the end of video? One day i will visit by myself and try the nice restaurant around and of course the delicious local Hotdog and Icecream!
yes and now it will be on the 'come down' as it gets its does of Globalist EU 'cultural enrichment' ala mass importation of young male scientiests / engineers / architects ... bright future indeed!
@@LifewithDavid It sure is. I got schooled on street smarts in New York City when I moved there at the age of 12 from South Carolina. The other street smarts I've picked up here in Medellin as an adult. It's all good 💯😎.
David I have met a lot of pretty Polish gals all the way from when I was a teen in Queens, NY to India. Never met a Polish gal here in Medellin, Colombia. Good vlog man. 😎👍
We also have a lot of fat people as in other countries, especially children are more and more „big” because of the diet and using their phones more than doing some activities outside (in contrast to children visible in this video). Maybe it’s not that bad as in e.g. US, but still lets not generalize. Also, I would not say David can’t be slim! First of all it’s very rude to say something like this. Secondly, he’s not fat or something. He walks a lot and needs some calories to have an energy to do that. Greetings from Kraków!🌸
My buddy and I shared a 5 litre beer at a restaurant in the main plaza in Krakow... Can't remember how much it cost in money... In my soul I suffered for awhile. 😛
hi. greetings from orlando florida. you certainly remember us live from the live chat. you said you were going to Prague. I myself come from Prague from the Czech Republic. Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe. you will like it there.
@@LifewithDavid where do ya think ya r 1998? 4.33 PLN=1EURo. The euro is the currency of 20 EU countries, used every day by nearly 350 million citizens. Croatia recently joined the euro zone and introduced the common currency on January 1, 2023. The euro was introduced on January 1, 1999 as the settlement currency in 11 Member States. US is about 331 million citizens.
@@LifewithDavid avoid exchange at train stations, also check google exchange and compare to local exchange spot to see how close they are. Rates should be the same as google so you can't get better deal
if you decide to go to sweden you will be floored by the amount of beautiful girls here, i'm not joking. and besides your typical swedish blonds we have everything here, a beautiful mix of people and culture. and people are in shape here too haha. i'm glad to see you guy's had a nice time in poland. see you in the next video! btw, maybe you do but i haven't seen you visit in churches. churches is something i always visit when i travel. it's part of our history in europe and the architecture is always beautiful. it would be nice if it was in the videos. cheers
@@LifewithDavid yes we swedes are very friendly,like canadians haha. maybe some swedes are a little reserved but most are very friendly and open for sure! the only bad thing about visiting sweden are the prices. sweden is super expensive and stockholm is one of the most expensive cities in the world. it's getting hard for many people but other than that it's so beautiful here with nature always close and our historic parts of the capital and old churches and houses and also you can visit the royal palace (or castle).it is a must visit destination imo.
@@funkmachine9094 cool , since you are from Sweden or seem to be how would you compare Swedish girls and Norwegian, do you find to you be similar looks wife and mentality? As an outsider I find them to be similar .
I appreciate the history lesson yet the Jews were not the only people who experienced genecide, seems as though they keep reminding tourists of the atrocities in every city in Poland

Polska 🇵🇱 is beautiful country , I lived there for years and I loved it.

Excellent comment and very true! I can only imagine how depressing in winter
That's my kind of weather! 😂
Come to Canada or States along Canadian border during winter time then you see depression , or go live to places like Detroit 😅😅😅
it's as depressing in scandinavia during winter with only a few hours of daylight per day. most places are depressing during winter,normal
@@funkmachine9094 Normal for Europe, yes. Not normal for non-Europeans. Go look at the map of average sunlight per year. Significant difference vs North America
I guess geese are a national dish for the independent day (11.11) as turkeys for thanksgiving

We met up and had a beer, but it was on one of my non filming days.
I suggested this a month ago as well; never heard back from David. I’m glad to read your comment.
@@LifewithDavid Do you still have a Colombian girlfriend?
How do you know what to buy? You order in English
Greetings from Kraków :)

Ofcourse. It’s krakow Poland. Super nice place.
Poland is kind of expensive. $8 for a hot dog. Its cheaper here in California
Poland is on the come up, super slept on country, been saying for years. Only down side is Polish is hard af to learn
yes and now it will be on the 'come down' as it gets its does of Globalist EU 'cultural enrichment' ala mass importation of young male scientiests / engineers / architects ... bright future indeed!
Super hard language
Nati has Medellin street smarts. She's as safe as can be.
Super street smarts! Medellin is the perfect training ground.
@@LifewithDavid It sure is. I got schooled on street smarts in New York City when I moved there at the age of 12 from South Carolina. The other street smarts I've picked up here in Medellin as an adult. It's all good 💯😎.
Rolls Royce is used for weddings :)
The food looks good.
It was for sure!
I agree with you 100%
🙌
hey David, which other cities do you plan to visit on your EU trip? Cheers from Austria
Thinking Prague and some of Spain
David I have met a lot of pretty Polish gals all the way from when I was a teen in Queens, NY to India. Never met a Polish gal here in Medellin, Colombia. Good vlog man. 😎👍
Happy you liked it!
@@LifewithDavid Krakow definitely has a nice feel and look to it from what I've been able to gather from your videos.
The females are beautiful. 😃😃. Poland, Czech Republic, Latvia etc. 🥰🥰. Eye catching ladies.
@@ryanboothroyd7037 They'll even make your heart skip a beat.
There is a great movie about what happened in the Jewish ghetto in Poland: The Uprising.
I need to watch it.
Pozdrawiam z pięknych Mazur
u must visit polandrock festival in poland :)
I would love to! Next time.
We have beautiful and slim people, so we pay attention to what we eat. Judging by your diet, you probably can't be slim😁
You’ll have to stick around to find out. 👍🏼

IS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE GOING ALL AROUND THIS GREAT PLACES, MY QUESTIONS IS: WHICH CITY IS YOUR FAVORITE AND WERE YOU WILL LIVE? 🌐🌏🌎🌍
Happy you are enjoying it!!
I give some thoughts on which I would like to live at the end of this video.
@@LifewithDavid So you guys are looking for a new place to settle in outside of Colombia? Noticed Wes settled in Poland.
@Ryan-ul7dy no, we were just taking a vacation. But my mind is always thinking about topics like this. 😂

They drink a ton of beer there! You’ve been around my friend!
Souvenirs* 😊 de nada y con gusto
David why did you erase your old videos?
They are in private for now. Doing some tests with the algorithm.
Its is beautiful, but certainly not the most affordable city in Europe. For that you have to go the Balkans.
We need to get down there to investigate. On another trip for sure
hi. greetings from orlando florida. you certainly remember us live from the live chat. you said you were going to Prague. I myself come from Prague from the Czech Republic. Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe. you will like it there.
Hey! Yes, we went to Prague. Those videos will come out in the future. Stay tuned. It’s a cool city for sure.
Prague has the most bars and restaurants in the whole world per population. enjoy this gorgeous city.
Lol. Good joke about Prague
Pretty cool video! Not just food bullshit!
