About Szczecin

Okay so this is coming from a person born and raised in Szczecin: Pros: - cheap - decent public transport - bolt and uber - clean and safe (for the most part) - I find it beautiful - close to, and well communicated with Berlin and its airport (with buses and trains) - close enough to the sea to go on weekend trips - other pros generally applicable to Poland - decent level of english, not 3rd level world healthcare, beautiful girls Cons: - literally 2 co-working spaces + a few cafes to work from (honourable mention: Corona Coffee) - boring asf, nothing is happening during the week and it's also pretty empty on the weekends, literally 2 spots to hang around (Deptak Bogusława and Bulwary [this one only during summer, and you will see a lot of drunk teenagers but it's not bad]) - no nomads and very limited amount foreigners, it's Szczecin not warszawa - the 'Szczecin' airport is pretty far away and domestic flights are expensive in general (flight to warsaw is around 300-500PLN one way) It's a decent base to come back to in between trips, and also pretty nice to come and see but I'd not stay here for long as a nomad.
