HI all
We're thinking of moving to Cyprus in about 4 years time, but need to go there and have a look around first, to see if we like it. We'll be doing that next march/april I hope.
Does anyone have any experience with living in North Cyprus as I have noticed that properties on that side are cheaper and we have a very tight budget. But then again properties can give a lot of stress, sorting everything out. It maybe even better to rent something for a year or so and then start looking into buying.
We are a dutch/english couple living in Belgium at the moment.
Thanks

Im 29, cant say im ex pat as im Cypriot, but was born and spent the first 19 years if my life in England. Im unemployed, was working at a forex company based in Limassol where i live, and was made redundant about 2 months ago, i would love love love to find a job, but there seems to be nothing out there , my dad has cancer on the brain, so im trying to sell our land and my house in order to fund treatment, and to at least have the money to make his life more comfortable, but as everyone knows nothing is selling at the mo. Not all bad, i have two lovely monsters, my 2 sons, my eldest is 5 and youngest will be 3 in April  

Hi, my name is Terry. I am a Canadian living in Canada with my fiancee, Yiota, who is Cypriot. We are planning on relocating to Cyprus in the next few months. I am an Engineering Technologist with 15 years experience in the manufacturing industry and Yiota has just completed her Phd. in physical chemistry.

I am excited to experience four seasons as in Canada we only have two, (winter and almost winter). I am an avid scuba diver, and hope to own a sail boat to truely injoin what Cyprus has to offer.

My only concern is finding suitable employment. Any ideas? Are there popular classifieds I should be checking? What about temp agencies that find you a job?

Thanks  

Hi All,
My name is Ian and I have been thinking of moving to Cyprus for a couple of years now. I'm 64, retired, divorced, with no real ties to keep me in the UK any more. My main concerns centre round the current economic climate in Cyprus. We hear in England of the dire state of the Cypriot economy and the exposure of Cypriot banks to high levels of Greek debt which is a bit worrying to say the least. A colleague has also recently told me that the Cypriot government is likely to embark on a huge exercise to bring rateable values up to date, as most houses still carry rateable values set in 1980. Again, for someone on a fixed income, this is worrying news. What is the rumour mill on the ground in Cyprus saying about the current situation?  

Hi my name is John, we are looking to move to Cyprus in the next few months. I am retired and cannot wait to get out of the UK. The main reason is because of my wife`s health, hopefully the warmer climate will be quite beneficial to her.  

Hi all.

Moved here a year ago and settling down nicely.

I am getting a bit bored so I am looking for something to keep me occupied for a few hours a week. I used to work at the college in Bournemouth mainly as a Teaching Assistant and have taught basic IT to both teenagers and elderly people.
