The number of people from the UK now living in Poland has increased by more than 300% percent since the Poles joined the European Union three years ago.
As well as mountains, his new home also has a famous beer
A former London bus driver has become the first British man to get a job driving a bus in Poland.
While up to 2m Poles have left to work elsewhere in the EU in recent years, Paul Brannan has made the reverse trip.
Mr Brannan, 43, met his wife Kamila three years ago on a snowboarding holiday in Poland and decided to leave the UK and start anew in her country.
Although he is paid much less than in London, he said he felt safer. "Even the drunks are friendly," he said.
He told the BBC: "Most of the bus drivers in Poland have left and have gone to the United Kingdom or to Ireland because the money is a lot better.
"They've gone in search of gold I think. And I've come the other way because I knew there were plenty of jobs here."
Mr Brannan lives in the picturesque mountain town of Zywiec in southern Poland which is famous for its local beer.
