Moving to Europe, where??

Rachal1084

Hi

This is my third attempt on forums trying to find out where I can find the lifestyle me and my family are looking for.

Basically me, my husband and 2 year old are looking to relocate abroad (somewhere in Europe, not to far from the UK) it's as cliche as..... "A new life in the sun" I have lived abroad (Turkey, Benidorm, Malta, Marbella and Portugal) and know that in my heart that's the lifestyle I want to bring my little boy up in.

Now I have only been using forums for a bout 3 days and already realise my post is going to annoy loads of people as I am not giving as much detail as most require, and the fact I am asking advice on the whole of Europe but as stupid and naieve as that might make me, I am just hoping I can get some direction as I feel lost with my search.

A few details about me and what we are looking for, we have enough money for a deposit on a small Villa but obviously would be renting before we make the decision to buy in the desired area.

We are also looking to rent a shop to sell personalised gifts aimed at children (I am not to concerned about the shop) as the product sells itself, although I do need somewhere with an all year round tourist trade

We are looking for somewhere coastal with a fair °µÍø½ûÇø Community, somewhere suitable to bring up children.

I totally understand from previous comments that the Ecodomy in Europe is not at its best, but I don't like the way the UK is going and prefer the relaxed lifestyle many places in Europe have to offer, I literally am a young girl looking to provide a better life for her family, I know it might seem a bit like a pipe dream, but I am really ambitious and not scared to take the plunge, if it doesn't work I am prepared for that I have a great support network around me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I am most grateful

Hi there, any luck with your search?  I am also looking for somewhere in Europe to relocate too with my family.  We have 3 kids and a dog :)
I notice you are from England, you didn't like it there or Scotland?
My husband works in the middle east so anywhere over on that side it good to go fro us.  Our kids are in school, grade 4, grade 2 and second year pre school.
Any information you have would be great...thanks

Hi Rachal1084,

Welcome to °µÍø½ûÇø-Blog :)

Can you be more specific on where exactly in Europe, I know you mentioned not too far from the UK and that you feel lost with your search.. but still can you tell us more, so as we can give you a better guidance please ?

Thank you

you must know a different Ireland than I do- my experience was that it was hardly a "place in the sun" :)

South of France. definitely, though °µÍø½ûÇø community's presence, not so sure about... South Spain, Portugal, Berne, Zurich, Switzerland.

Scotland can be very cold, Ireland suffering now economically, though not sure if they recovered yet.

Good luck!
