100 years of friendship

Chris met his future wife, Joanna, at a tap-dance contest. Together, they run a dance school in the Polish city of Lodz. Terry always dreamed of being a radio presenter, and now he runs a popular program in English, in which he shares the perspectives of expats in Wroclaw. John was a war correspondent for “Time”, but after years full of adrenalin, he decided to settle down and open a guesthouse in the north of Poland.

These are only some of the interesting, inspiring and funny stories of UK nationals living in Poland, presented by British Embassy Warsaw through its #PolishBritishStory campaign.

The campaign praises the strength of people-to-people connections between the UK and Poland, and highlights the contribution of UK nationals to Polish society, business and culture. All this, as part of the celebrations of 100 years of renewed diplomatic relations between the UK and Poland.

All stories can be watched on the Facebook page of the British Embassy Warsaw and on Youtube.
