00:01:28: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

00:01:31: Like where are you from?

00:01:33: what are your hobbies?

00:01:34: and just describe yourselves a bit.

00:01:38: I was born in Poland But i feel that i'm From...from here really And maybe we will talk this later.

00:01:48: I live on Crete for years now And I'm very happy here.

00:01:57: What are my hobbies?

00:01:59: Mainly music, some spiritual work and creed of course.

00:02:10: Especially nature!

00:02:12: I can sit on the beach look at the sea for hours... ...I don't need nothing else.

00:02:21: Nice.. I totally get that.

00:02:24: And what actually, was your first connection to Greece?

00:02:29: Why and when did you come here?

00:02:32: It was I think like sixteen seventeen years ago.

00:02:36: So long!

00:02:37: Yes.

00:02:37: I came for holidays with my girlfriend ex-girlfriend.

00:02:45: When i went out from the airplane... ...when I saw the airport I said to myself, what is this?

00:02:55: It's not airport.

00:02:55: It was a joke!

00:02:57: So the first impression wasn't good.

00:03:00: but then we rented car and were driving down from Airport to Hania.

00:03:09: and when i saw that view of city And I've seen the mountains in the back because all my life, I wanted to live where it's sea and you can see the mountains.

00:03:26: Maybe i don't have to go to the mountain but like fill them up especially now during winter time if there is snow on the mountains as beautiful here.

00:03:36: looking

00:03:38: left or

00:03:41: right And at this time I felt that it's a place for me.

00:03:46: Of course, afterwards... ...I was travelling little bit around the world mainly in Asia and thinking to live there.

00:03:54: but no, Crete is absolutely right-place for me.. ..I don't regret that i'm here.

00:04:00: Maybe only regret that took so long of my time to decide to come here.

00:04:08: You have to switch something into your mind Because you are so used to your normal living where we live and were a little bit afraid.

00:04:19: Okay, I had some friends here but didn't have good friend.

00:04:24: just people like i met.

00:04:27: So when I came here was nearly alone Here...so You're a Little bit afraid But don´t be!

00:04:35: How long did it take for the decision come?

00:04:39: First time I tried to live here.

00:04:42: It was ten years ago, so it was six maybe seven years my decision to come try to leave on Crete and I came with car...I had a car in Poland And i came with the car but when season was over.. ..i have little money.

00:05:04: because of that we cannot drive the car for more than six months like this.

00:05:09: I decided to go back to Poland and i decided to make some kind of business, collect money... ...to come here again and have an easier start.

00:05:22: And I did it!

00:05:24: But we built a quite successful business.

00:05:27: It was very successful even but from economical point-of view it wasn't successful.

00:05:33: So in Poland, this business

00:05:36: you had?

00:05:38: Yes.

00:05:39: And what are doing here now

00:05:41: for life?

00:05:42: Now I'm doing.

00:05:44: it's possible to do first job as a waiter then as a gardener and painting houses.

00:05:54: Then the waiter again.

00:05:58: Last year was pool boy cleaning pools And this season I will be tour guide.

00:06:05: So, it's good to try a lot of things until you decide what do really want them.

00:06:15: for sure i still have my own business and working but if we don't start or work on anything because its easier people who are not from here I mean, i have no connection or... Okay.

00:06:32: I had some friends but i don't know family connections here so why?

00:06:35: So im still alone and i dont want to learn greek language.

00:06:40: Why?

00:06:41: Because i don´t wanna understand... It's enough to communicate if somebody wants something important for you.

00:06:58: Even if I nearly don't speak English, we always find a way to communicate.

00:07:03: But i dont want to be engaged so much.

00:07:06: of course I respect people and like the Cretan people but... ...I came here for Crete, nature or balance myself.

00:07:16: So that means you also don't need the Greek language in the chops.

00:07:20: You're doing because he said your waiter, your gardener so you were only talking in English.

00:07:25: or what

00:07:27: was it?

00:07:28: English is enough but Because of that I don't speak greek.

00:07:33: It's very hard for me to find a work during the winter time.

00:07:38: Okay all these jobs that you are doing it was on Lee and summer season.

00:07:42: yes

00:07:43: Okay, I can't find it.

00:07:44: I could go on the construction or do this kind of thing but i don't want.

00:07:48: yes...I was working hard all my life and maybe not all my lives!

00:07:55: But so that means in summer you're working?

00:07:57: And in winter then just relaxing and searching for new jobs like you found now for this year is tourist

00:08:04: guiding..but

00:08:05: how did you do it?

00:08:05: How are you searching these jobs?

00:08:09: First job when I came, when i was waiter friend of mine she was living here.

00:08:15: She called me and...she was polish half Polish half Ukrainian doesn't matter.

00:08:20: She told me that restaurant close to her place they are looking for waiter.

00:08:27: so first job already arranged by her but other.

00:08:33: i go to websites or there is a. you know this Hanyotika.

00:08:38: no But

00:08:41: this is a good tip, I will write it down and we can post the link then later.

00:08:46: And there are hundreds of offers!

00:08:48: Of course they put either an offer or what just to collect maybe applications.

00:08:56: but i think its easy to find work during the season.

00:08:59: If you want to work and speak English, don't be afraid of working.

00:09:03: You are not too left-handed or lazy... It's easy!

00:09:10: Another question is how much they pay?

00:09:13: It's a completely different topic but I think it works here during the season.

00:09:19: I'm trying as much as possible.

00:09:23: in the last winter Maybe I was resting because it's been a hard year for me.

00:09:28: But this year, first of all... ...I have time to listen to the music and read things that I want to do during the season.

00:09:39: Sometimes you don't have energy or go somewhere.

00:09:44: so in winter it is perfect to concentrate on yourself Or just do nothing!

00:09:52: It's nice doing something.

00:09:53: sometimes People are like, well I have to develop.

00:09:59: But where is the life?

00:10:00: Where it's here and

00:10:01: now?".

00:10:02: That's true!

00:10:03: When you've had enough to live then your happy with that... You don't need to rush always.

00:10:08: And

00:10:09: i'm very minimalistic.

00:10:12: so of course i can survive for ... Of course..I eat well ,i take care my place as u see but i dont go anywhere.

00:10:22: I mean, i don't travel and go for the parties.

00:10:28: So you can survive here.

00:10:30: rent is high yes but But You Can Survive Here Like For Five Hundred A Months For Sure Even Less.

00:10:39: It Depends Of Course Where You Live And How Much Rent You Pay Exactly.

00:10:43: This Is An Important Point What I Think Very Interesting For Many Listeners.

00:10:48: You Said of Course it depends how much they pay because you said, You find a job easy if you want.

00:10:54: But yeah the payment

00:10:55: is

00:10:56: different as it seems to me what you say.

00:10:58: so What are your experiences like when you did the gardening or the waiter's job?

00:11:04: What was paid more?

00:11:06: that you would say you will do again If you wants to have higher payments.

00:11:10: and Yeah, what does your experience with normal

00:11:13: what they offer?

00:11:14: I think I had like fifty maybe even more interviews, work interview.

00:11:21: In so many places.

00:11:22: just to try this place when i was looking for a job and every offer is sometimes five or six euros an hour.

00:11:33: So in the beginning i accepted it but at that time there were some tips.

00:11:42: But next year, during the winter I also accept five euro an hour.

00:11:47: because maybe... Maybe i was too shy.

00:11:51: I don't know.

00:11:53: but Next Year?

00:11:54: I said to myself I will not work for Not for in-hour For a day!

00:11:59: I said To Myself not less than sixty and till now I'm not working less Than Sixty.

00:12:06: yeah

00:12:07: if somebody doesn't want to pay I say okay look for another guy.

00:12:10: But I'm very good working and everybody like the quality of my work.

00:12:15: but i think it also depends with whom you work.

00:12:19: two years ago,I had this kind of experience that he said oh!

00:12:23: It's only five euro in the beginning...but after one month we can talk about better money..it was just blah-blah-blind at the beginning.

00:12:34: Yeah, but

00:12:37: this is also what you said.

00:12:38: I think that many people

00:12:40: add

00:12:41: the wage with tips.

00:12:43: So when you are in a restaurant or in a hotel Or wherever you work and you get the tips it makes A lot of extra payment because five euro Is really little In my opinion But its normal here

00:12:55: Yes!

00:12:55: But i don't know how It's.

00:12:57: maybe in Hanyang In the center You have some tips.

00:13:02: You don't have so much tips.

00:13:04: These people, they don't tip a lot.

00:13:07: Two years ago and when I was working as a waiter Sometimes When i was going back home after my shift evening shift... ...I had like five euro tips.

00:13:18: Okay that's not so much for today.

00:13:19: It is really nothing.

00:13:21: There are some works.

00:13:22: you do not have tips Like pool cleaning Yes!

00:13:25: I understand.

00:13:26: So when you're searching for a job here.. ..you should not have the idea of having a lifestyle like living as a prince, say it like this.

00:13:35: And what about them?

00:13:37: The working hours?

00:13:39: were you like working eight hours a day?

00:13:43: or how many hours and How many days did you work in a week?

00:13:47: first job is a waiter.

00:13:49: I was working every day Seven-day a week so really exactly everyday.

00:13:55: It was eight hours.

00:13:57: i mean shift started at four in the afternoon and still midnight.

00:14:03: In hotel next year I was working from early morning because i was serving, giving breakfast to people.

00:14:11: Pool cleaning even earlier.

00:14:13: we started at six because when you clean pools in hotels before people are going swimming pool If you clean because we had hotels and villas, so villas can be done afterwards.

00:14:28: We started at six o'clock.

00:14:31: this year I will be tour guide even earlier Because i'm going to do Samaria two times a week.

00:14:40: So Samaria starts like six, have to get up maybe five.

00:14:46: Anyway, I will survive.

00:14:48: It

00:14:48: always depends on the job!

00:14:50: I'm really

00:14:50: looking forward.

00:14:51: when you're doing this... ...I'll join your one day!

00:14:53: You are welcome!

00:14:54: Cool and it's now as you said many years that you came here.

00:14:59: but can you remember a little bit about the process?

00:15:02: Because in my case was very not afraid But i thought of how their processes would be all the bureaucratic to bring insurance for taxes.

00:15:14: How did you do it?

00:15:15: and if you find that easygoing or difficult?

00:15:19: About those things I wasn't thinking at all.

00:15:21: I was only afraid about money because i wanted to be here completely independent not work here, To find the way maybe make online business some kind of business cooperating with the cretinoff greek people.

00:15:37: but they didn't want me employed.

00:15:40: I had not enough money, so i decided to start as a waiter.

00:15:45: And it was Covid time after Covid-time and It Was quite hard To fix all the papers.

00:15:53: But i know some tricks like because i give you one example there were lots of examples i didn't Know Of course!

00:16:01: i was expecting that this can be like This.

00:16:03: but if You want go into office then have appointment.

00:16:07: Yes yes?

00:16:08: I know that

00:16:10: I did it.

00:16:11: And the working hours of the office was like till three, maybe half past two or something like this.

00:16:21: so i came a half an hour before ending of the working-hours and as i expected there wasn't anybody.

00:16:30: So i came to the lady and said oh please help me if you play that are dumb and we were lost.

00:16:38: she said okay But it took me over one month to fix everything, I don't know how its now.

00:16:47: Also maybe i'm not correct but with this process you have go the police and they give a permit that can stay here.

00:17:09: Anyway, it's like this that you can get these papers when you have a place to stay.

00:17:17: But if there is any space left for you then you need to rent.

00:17:21: You cannot rent officially without Amca or Afimi or something.

00:17:29: So its close circle.

00:17:33: In order to get this paper, you have to have THIS paper.

00:17:37: But in order to have this paper... ...you have TO HAVE THIS PAPER!

00:17:47: I remember a bit of myself and had to think about how the process was with me but i think that first thing is the text number.

00:17:55: And then with this text number, I went to the insurance company and... ...I had an account doing it for me.

00:18:02: When

00:18:02: i was doing alone!

00:18:06: It's many years you don't have to remember their complete process but just all in one when you look back took about a month to do

00:18:13: it.

00:18:14: You did it!

00:18:16: Really?

00:18:17: All my life if some of these formal things I always play dumb stupid lost And in the end it works.

00:18:27: Yes, sometimes it helps.

00:18:29: So silly sounds!

00:18:33: Yeah perfect.

00:18:33: thank you for sharing so good toilet cold impressions into your working life here.

00:18:39: It's really important because I think many listeners just don't have an idea how is and this sounds very honest and like authentic insights exactly that what we want here on this podcast.

00:18:51: So, enough about work.

00:18:53: Let's go a little bit to the mindset because as you said before already it took several times for us come here.

00:19:01: something had happened in your mind.

00:19:03: so I think this is very important part Because its not only about bureaucratics but also about mindsets that we can make possible To go somewhere where you want and to find work there, whatever kind of work it is.

00:19:16: So what would you say have courage?

00:19:20: And also take the risk to come here play in your life.

00:19:25: I'm not afraid about anything really...I had this construction that i am really not afraid at all.

00:19:31: But to be afraid its different but down to feel free & independent.

00:19:38: And this was about my being free and independent.

00:19:43: This I was maybe not afraid of, but you know...I'm a man!

00:19:48: I feel that i am still a

00:19:49: man!!

00:19:51: And it's kind-of in your mind That You should have money Yes?

00:19:59: Maybe Not millions But just to do what you want.

00:20:03: I'm not twenty-five, yes?

00:20:04: I am a little older.

00:20:06: If i would be twenty five it's okay Yes but unfortunately and uh...I don't have A lot of money.

00:20:12: I will But Not now.

00:20:15: So It was.. I think it Was more than to Even in Polish language I Don't know how To say Let's Say to connect your Vision Of Yourself How You Wanted To Live Here With Reality Because you want to.

00:20:32: I don't want to have big villa, yes?

00:20:33: But i wanted enough money.

00:20:36: just not think about how will survive.

00:20:40: So for me this was the main problem.

00:20:42: it wasn´t that I was afraid of coming here but It was...I was looking at a solution To get some source of money.

00:20:52: Of course

00:20:54: That can be independent Here.

00:20:55: Yes Okay you can earn money in Poland This is no problem But it's not easy.

00:21:02: It wasn't easy for me, and I think...I don't know how will be now to find this kind of solution that i can have.

00:21:09: like you You work remotely Yeah?You can work from any place!

00:21:15: I didn't had these skills.

00:21:17: Yes also..it wasnt'easy For Me.

00:21:21: So my idea is make a business To collect as much money as possible Maybe sell the business or idk or to find somebody who will take care about this.

00:21:33: I could come here twelve years ago for sure, it would be much more easier than no!

00:21:39: And you said before that You came here because You wanted to feel free?

00:21:43: To do what You want to fulfill Yourself.

00:21:45: so What does freedom mean to You?

00:21:47: Yes...I won't Come Here Because..I Feel This Is My Place.

00:21:53: It's Like This If You fall in love with somebody and it's crazy, you don't know.

00:21:59: He doesn't look even nice.

00:22:01: he behaves stupid but you feel something You know?

00:22:04: And of course Crete looks beautiful But from this first day I had a feeling that This is my place!

00:22:15: Of course lot of tourists or people they say Crete is magic for sure Magic...but It not like this..This Is My Place.

00:22:23: I Don't Know Why.

00:22:24: That is what you said before, that you feel like... You belong here.

00:22:27: Yes!

00:22:29: I want to be here and even some friends tell me let's go somewhere for holidays in the winter time, summer or Asia?

00:22:36: I don't wanna go anywhere!

00:22:38: I just want to stay there!

00:22:40: You're feeling good here.. That's perfect actually!

00:22:43: And back to my question

00:22:44: so… What does freedom

00:22:45: mean?!

00:22:48: Freedom means it's myself!

00:22:50: Freedom means everything!

00:22:51: It's most important thinking life.

00:22:55: For freedom.

00:22:55: this is the most important thing in my life, freedom!

00:22:58: But can you explain what it is for you?

00:23:00: Is it a feeling or that you are able to do whatever you want?

00:23:06: What exactly does freedom mean on your

00:23:07: own?

00:23:07: No... This is something I can do as much as I want and it's comfort.

00:23:12: but for me freedom is a good question!

00:23:18: I feel it..but i think its kind of like a question about love.

00:23:23: You feel it, but you cannot explain.

00:23:26: It's very close to laugh But I think this is that...

00:23:34: It's exactly what you say when somebody asks me What freedom?

00:23:38: I have an idea!

00:23:40: For me its just a feeling.

00:23:43: i can do whatever i want.

00:23:46: I don't have the brain fuck in my mind That im anxious I feel free in my mind and i'm happy.

00:23:54: And it just feels like, yeah this is how life should be!

00:23:58: It's a feeling for me.

00:23:59: But again... Still..I am not able to do everything what I want because im limited with money or I don't have the car so I dont'have that comfort.

00:24:13: but freedom for me is when its high season Quite easy for me to find the places where it's nobody.

00:24:24: I was living in big cities, Poland and it wasn't possible.

00:24:31: One time even trying... In Warsaw when i lived several years.. ..I tried finding a place that I could sit down and don't hear cars or city.

00:24:46: Here is very easy.

00:24:47: of course you cannot compare Warsaw with Crete but But for me this connection with nature.

00:24:53: It's very important.

00:24:55: So there is freedom.

00:24:57: it also for me not knowing Greek that I can go around the people they talk and i'm not engaged in any.

00:25:05: They talked about,I don't know politics or about life And I can sit around them and then free you know what I mean?

00:25:12: Also not knowing their language In a way its easier to feel the people Because you observe how the body language, that expression on minds... You don't follow meaning of conversation.

00:25:31: Like with animals yes?

00:25:33: You do not have a language.

00:25:35: I don´t know.

00:25:36: Maybe it is enough.

00:25:40: Okay!

00:25:40: I understand what you mean.

00:25:42: It's more in my life and trying to define things I feel something or not feel.

00:25:53: Like dancing, yes?

00:25:55: I'm a terrible dancer but if you go to my place and look for the...I am dancing all the time!

00:26:03: You even have these disco

00:26:04: lights?!

00:26:08: You just fill in music then

00:26:09: dance!

00:26:10: Okay now i understand what do mean And freedom is not always put into words.

00:26:15: It can mean alot

00:26:16: But it's very good question..i will think about this.

00:26:20: What is freedom for me?

00:26:21: Because it's so obvious to me, but exactly like love.

00:26:28: I can say that love feels we are one and we share the same reality – this is love!

00:26:38: But something more...

00:26:41: And now you're living here pretty long have made different jobs got to know different people.

00:26:48: Do you also have something like what you would say?

00:26:51: this was really your biggest learning since you're here?

00:26:54: What could take for you or... ...what do you want to share with our listeners.

00:26:59: Just one, two things that you've learned either about the living and yourself.

00:27:05: I learnt several things.

00:27:09: First thing is that i can learn nearly everything And I can learn everything!

00:27:14: I'm not a good waiter but coming here, I didn't do this job and i was quite afraid.

00:27:21: if I manage.

00:27:22: Of course

00:27:22: it's... It is a quiet easy work but not so complicated But like.. If you want You can.... Doesn' t matter how old are all of them.

00:27:30: You can learn everything So I don´t feel any limits Yes?

00:27:34: If somebody come to me And say that they have enough hotel Can we run the hotel or be manager?

00:27:42: Okay!

00:27:42: I had no experience But for sure will do To have a restaurant, of course I had no idea how to run the restaurant but we tried it.

00:27:54: I'm not afraid to engage in some works that i didn't do before... ...I learned also that.. ..I am alone here even if you meet me here and I don´t have a girlfriend or nobody But I like my.

00:28:16: It's not loneliness.

00:28:17: How do you call it?

00:28:18: Be

00:28:19: alone!

00:28:20: Yes, but... It is different.

00:28:22: It is loneliness to feel lonely.

00:28:24: But be alone

00:28:25: yes that you like being alone.

00:28:28: I like my company and myself.

00:28:31: so i'm not bored.

00:28:35: a lot of things have been done.

00:28:38: People ask me what are we doing during the winter?

00:28:41: So many things.

00:28:44: You also ask what I can say to the people, if you have dreams go for it.

00:28:50: And don't ask other people... This was kind of a block for me because some people said oh!

00:29:00: It's just your dream and so easy to live in nice place like Crete.

00:29:06: but they will never do that.

00:29:09: Even friends from yours They can say these kind of sentences in good intention.

00:29:20: Yes, but don't listen to those friends

00:29:24: who give you

00:29:24: this advice.

00:29:27: So go for it and a lot things are much easier than they think.

00:29:35: It's many things that are in the head.

00:29:37: That you say to yourself, this is not possible for me because as you said I find it really incredible and just saying... You like your self?

00:29:46: And do you know or learn about yourselves when doing anything?

00:29:50: And so many people think yes maybe now okay i'm a secretary!

00:29:57: How shall I do my life?

00:29:59: I don't know how to do other jobs and this can limit yourself so much because as you said here it's easy to find your job, especially in summer.

00:30:07: And if you don't have the...how to say...?

00:30:10: If you don´t want live like a prince or princess.

00:30:13: You will find something that you can fulfill Your dream!

00:30:15: You come here..you have enough for living.

00:30:18: Of course It depends what you want but there is chance of doing it and just Do it!

00:30:23: Yeah!

00:30:23: Of course its different....I was alone In Poland too.

00:30:26: I didn't have a girlfriend.

00:30:29: I had daughter, but she's already dependent and lives in another country.

00:30:33: But if you have family or your business Or an older mother who has to take care of her parents So it is not so easy.

00:30:42: If you are alone, free-to-move The only limit that you can have for life Is on the head.

00:30:51: This was my final statement.

00:30:54: I definitely agree, of course.

00:30:57: When you are fit when can move your body and do what want... ...when you're healthy to it's limits that we have in our head.

00:31:06: And also It is not like this.

00:31:09: You can't anything.

00:31:11: For some things you will have skills.

00:31:14: for instance i know a lot about music.. ..I think I don't know anybody who had so different kind of music in life like me.

00:31:27: But I'm not a musician, i cannot play instruments.

00:31:33: so for some things or to be graphic designer you need skills.

00:31:40: but you don't have to be a graphic designer.

00:31:42: You can do other things.

00:31:44: There

00:31:46: are options.

00:31:47: Of course,

00:31:49: I can sit like two years and start to learn to be a graphic designer but for some people it's two weeks And for others will be three years.

00:31:59: But fortunately i have other skills mainly working with hands.

00:32:04: and said this before...I'm not afraid.

00:32:07: So if you want me do their job of course the question is how much you pay?

00:32:16: Why not?

00:32:17: No, I totally get it.

00:32:18: And yeah...I think this is a very good mindset to really fulfill the dream.

00:32:23: when you want to move abroad just do it!

00:32:25: You will find your way.

00:32:27: Nowadays its so easy.

00:32:28: of course if u don't know any language i mean English or German.

00:32:34: here there are lots of people who know German as well So It'll be hard yes But if you know a little bit, in my English it's not perfect but its enough to communicate here.

00:32:45: and what I learned that...I'll give an example.

00:32:48: When i was working at the hotel actually they hired me as gardener there because of their had no enough people for work.

00:32:57: so on the morning when I was waiting then I cleaned up pool Then helping girls clean rooms And in the end I was a gardener, so had four positions.

00:33:10: Anyway... But sometimes you go to that room where tourists are living.

00:33:16: You can't believe what the mess they left but after half an hour it's clean and you feel like you did something!

00:33:25: Do you know what i mean?

00:33:26: Here It is dirty

00:33:29: and you see there results immediately.

00:33:31: Yes..and this I liked That I saw result.

00:33:35: It makes me, you know... it builds my ego.

00:33:39: Maybe not everyday but every second day for sure.

00:33:42: I think about myself that people want to be happy or they pray for God.

00:33:47: give me love and money.

00:33:50: i wanted to be useful.

00:33:55: My existence is useful for some other people.

00:33:59: Okay cleaning the room maybe its a big deal

00:34:04: Yeah.

00:34:05: This is what I wanted to ask you as next question, actually because you said... You're doing this now but do have your plans where you want be in a few years?

00:34:12: But are not sharing it with us at

00:34:14: the moment?
