If you found this post as you’re wondering whether to make the move to Cyprus<\/a> or not, I’m happy to share my 6.5 years worth of experiences, joys and misfortunes (I will try to focus on the first two).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is different and this is not meant to be a suit-all guide for moving to Cyprus or deal with all the technicalities involved. Your circumstances will be very different to mine – this includes your work, family situation, attitude towards change and many other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take from this what you consider important and what you want to achieve with your stay in Cyprus. Most of all – manage your expectations and you would be much happier dealing with some of the unexpected consequences of living in Cyprus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be prepared to face challenges, both cultural, language and bias towards foreigners. At the same time, embrace the friendly and welcoming nature of locals, amazing fresh food, stunning nature and a more relaxed attitude towards life in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope by the end of reading this, you will feel that you understand the challenges of living on the island a bit better and are prepared to face the unexpected hurdles on your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, let’s crack on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what I consider most important life lessons, courtesy of living in Cyprus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
