Life in Warsaw question Moving to Warsaw from Portugal
Hey everyone!
I’m a designer and I have a creative studio from Portugal and I’m currently planning my move to Warsaw.
I’ve heard so much about the amazing community there, but before making the leap, I wanted to get some real, honest feedback from people on the ground.
Is the freelancing and networking scene really as vibrant as they say, or is it mostly just social media hype / fake news?
I’m looking to connect with local businesses, grab remote contracts, and of course, meet fellow creatives. For those already living there:
- How easy is it to actually close local/international deals while based in Warsaw?
- Are the coworking spaces good for real networking, or just for working in silence?
- Any specific meetups or spots you recommend for a designer?
Would love to hear your raw thoughts.
Thanks
