CURRENCY
The currency in Poland is Zloty, which compares to our dollar. Currently 1 Polish Zloty equals .29 in US dollars. Poland also uses Groszy which is comparable to our coin currency. Money is best to be exchanged through a Cantor in Poland as exchanging money at the airport gives you a lower exchange rate.
DRESS
Casual attire is acceptable for teaching. Please, no short shorts or crop tops. Jeans or longer shorts are permissible to wear.
CARRY-ON LUGGAGE
It is best to take your medicine, a change of clothes, and important class materials with you in a carry-on luggage. There are many great shopping places to purchase toiletries and miscellaneous person products after you get to Poland to avoid extra weight and space in your luggage. It is suggested to have a photocopy of your passport, airline tickets, and birth certificate with you in case the original gets misplaced.
