Hi all

New to to the forum

We hope to move to trnc in approx 16 months,I know it's a long way off but there is a lot to do and more looking at the forum etc etc.We are looking to rent for 12 months and see how things work out,also we are thinking of bringing over a zafira or c4 picasso so we have a car and if it does not work out at least we will have a car for the return

Thanks Melv

Hi Sparky,



Hope you're well. I am just curious, I hope you don't mind me asking. What was it that made you feel North Cyprus was the place for you rather than England? Did you just fancy the change?

We came here having never visited..sold all out belonging and came with 8 suit cases a cat and a dog..we have never looked back since life is what you make it and you make it bloody work if you come the way we did ))





guess we could have continued to travel but we found a purpose here that helps...you need to find things to get involved in its the keep well factor..you cant treat as one long holiday going from bar to bar and drinking your yourselves to death ant home either...Make a home and live as you would at home with a few extra treats from time to time..all the very best wishes. email if you wish.



Spider,X where is you home now ?

Thanks Spider for your reply.

I live in England, in London.



So would you say your quality of life is better in North Cyprus than it was in England? What made you leave England? Is life more exciting there?



What things do you miss about England, if any?



Do you have any children? If so, are you planning on raising them in North Cyprus?

Hi feel free to email me mariavic@live.com If you want to do it try your hardest to make things happen. I did not want to look at my husband one day when he reached say 70..and have to say sorry I wished we had tried..The time was right..So when your time is right it will happen and everything will fall into place if you work at making it happen. Good luck to all who have a dream, follow it through.

My wife & I have visited N.Cyrpus a number of times & we have met a lot of ex-pats living & working in N.Cyprus & have found that the pace of life & the area would suit us nicely

Follow two golden rules and you will have no regrets.



1. Rent don't buy



2. If you decide to buy, stick to the ruling, "no kocan, no money"



Good Luck

Hi sparky71 Welcome to the forum, rent for a while first, look around and see if you like the place and take your time before you intend to buy, I did I rented for 8 months then bought.



Good luck





Regards
