We are Americans from Prescott, AZ..USA. with a 2nd home in Germany and traveling Romania for the first time…We LOVE It and the WONDERFULLY Friendly people…and WOW…Everybody..(almost)…speaks English‼️‼️….A Beautiful Country‼️❤️….
Hi, email me on headforthehillsromania@gmail.com if you want to meet up :)
My both boys speak fluently englisch,..becouse y.u tub.e 😅
Thanks for appreciating us. Welcome! I would like to have some kind of neighbors.. :) This summer, I met a lot of strangers in Romania, nice people, too!
@@constantincanciuc7863 foreigners, hoping they don't stay strangers to our beautifull country
@@cristianpopescu78let me tell you something: English is basically a new Romanian(well a new Latin if you like) so they use the same letters and half the vocabulary is almost identical so add to it that movies(mostly American) are not dubbed but there are Romanian subtitles, lots of English music and nowadays yes, youtube, obviously you will have a decent English speaking culture.
What’s more important though is what’s in their heart, and those hearts were shattered many times and you have an ignorant person who is led to the slaughterhouse by their leaders who are 95% corrupt and bought.
It’s remarkable to see that between them though, they are helpful and believers.
Kind of like Muslims, very God fearing, sad to see their God is a demon. Come to Jesus‼️
I moved from the Netherlands to Romania, in 2018. and since 2019 have permanent residence. It was the best move I made and never regretted it. I live in a small village, with friendly people, rural nature, yet within a 20 min drive you find anything you might need. I am taking care of stray Dogs, something that just happened, as if it was mend to be that these stray dogs show up on my place.
When I started my move, I never intended to start a shelter, but it seemed it was destined to be, so I adapted to the situation, and am currently building and improving this small private shelter.
For me, owning a House with a big barn and at least a few thousant square meters, in the Netherlands, was a impossible dream. Here I found it, after meeting in the Netherlands a proffesor from Cluj, who invited me back then in 2016, to come and visit. By doing so, he changed my live, and I found what I was looking for. I can recommend this country to anyone, who loves to have some freedom, friendly people, and beautiful nature. I wish every expat the best out there. Take care.
thanks for posting your story, others read these messages and take another step to making the move
Cool! Netherlands is the country I visited twice, but have no interest of visiting again. Such a boring country )
Maybe Edward can interview you soon...
@@randomromania I can tell honestly, that I never encountered such a warm welcome as I did here, ; Imagine if you can, I arrived 18december 2018, with a big Truck loaded with all my furniture appliances and Tools, the Snow was Knee deep, I had no snow shovel to clear a path to my house about 30mtrs from the road, and was alone with the truckdriver to unload. But 6 of my neighbors came out, when they saw I struggled, with snowshovels, cleared a path, helped to carry everything inside from the main road where the truck was, to the house. Those people did not know me personaly back then, they just knew a Dutch guy bought the place, yet they all came to help. Needless to say, that to this day, we are still good neighbors. In the Netherlands? You would never had encountered such a kindness and neighborly assistance, out of their own accord. Sad, but True. So yes, I hope my story might inspire others to move to this beautiful country with its underated friendly people. And if you ever like to visit; Google maps, Doggy Day Transylvania. Greetings from Silvio, a very happy expat.
@@anthonybreaux4741 thats rude
@@sildefluiter3401 you are one if us now
Next year I'm coming back home....just after I left Romania I realised how much I love it!
So true. Good luck with your plans moving back. I'm working on it too.
Welcome to Europe and especially the Balkan Peninsula my Friend. Paradise on Earth. You said everything I can relate to. I am Greek living in Romania for 3 years now.
What were the main things that drove you away from Greece?
@@randomromania Hello again. I left Greece for personal reasons solely. I had to change my life. No economical factors. Now the main question should be why Romania. This nation is very similar (99%) with the Greek society and close to my mindset. So for me, nothing surprises me here. I am happy. Still trying to set up income here but it will come when it comes! Also it is very close to Greece. I feel like home. What are you doing here? If you are in Bucuresti, I would like to meet you.
@@peterpeter8325 drop me an email on headforthehillsromania@gmail.com :)
good bless greece forever and stay here my brother I love greece my sister country.
Romania is not Balkanic country ;)
I moved from the UK to Poland and have noticed much the same with attitude. Many people here think they are not doing well in life and that the west is a land of milk and honey. In reality they live far better than I did in the UK on a total house income of £40k per year. I could barely afford a one bed house in a poor area.
My wife is Polish and when we tell people in Poland about the reality of the UK now their jaws drop and they stop complaining so much.
In Romania happens the same. People go to Germany because they earn 2k € a monts but with that you can't save more than 200€. Here in Romania with 1k-1.2k€ you can save 500+-€ ( aprox examples)
But still you have worst hospitals, police, highways etc
I was 5 years old when our family moved to Canada. Things are not nowhere as great a they were in Canada. Went for a long vacation back home (7 months). My wife is also romanian. People in both countries are mostly oblivious to their own state of affairs. I dont see much of a future for me my wife and 2 sons in the fas+$/st country called Canada. We will be returning to Romanaia in the near future.
No one cares
I personally don't give a rat's ass on a 2k, 3k, 4k 5k etc, salary in UK. It's next to nothing anyway unless it's double that when it starts to make sense. But i do care about touching a building (like any building) which is 300 years+, about the cleanest air i have ever breathed, and the greenest grass i have ever seen. About the beauty and grandness of that country you moved out from. When you'll face the bleakness of eastern europe you'll run back to take a stroll around Buckingham or thereabouts.
@@MrAlpinab7 Eastern Europe is anything but bleak. But I can understand your love of your own country. But do yourself a favour and go sightseeing through the "bleak" Eastern Europe, you might just have the holiday of your lifetime! PS we also have 300 + years old buildings and nice clean air in the countryside.
Hey I have a similar interesting story coming from Germany to Romania 3 years ago. I had an IT business in Germany and was a business person through and through. I am now building a simpler, more pleasant life in Romania. I’ve got now an older house and a bit of land in Romania. I started to renovate this house two weeks ago and I am currently still in the process to do so. Cheers! ❤

you will get fed up of Romania before even finishing your house...country is beautiful, people are lovely, but when it comes to dealing with government entities you don't need to hear about Romania and think to run as far away as you can
@@lauras1878 i've lived here since 2001, not fed up yet ;)
@@lauras1878 typically you can hire others to deal with government agencies so i guess that only matters if you can't afford to do that
@randomromania trust me, I paid and în 8 years they did nothing, I even offered to pay them more, still nothing, now I just took a lawyer to deal with my stuff, and said would take 2 years only paper work and a few thousand euros, over 5000 most likely, even the lawyer cannot give a price from the beginning.
I lived a year in England in 2007, and then a year in Ireland in 2008, I couldn't adapt. More money was indeed made, but living was expensive. I preferred to return to Romania, it is quieter and more relaxing.
Truee! I am romanian and i will come back to Romania.
I am so surprised and grateful that I've come across this video today! I live in the UK for 3 years now and I can't wait to move back to România. The UK is great and comes with amazing history and personalities which I will always admire, but the modern times transformed it greatly, and as you said, the life in România is much simpler and quiet, which makes it more worth living. One of our national poets had a saying, "The eternity was born in a village ", which you can comprehend once you live in the village for a while.
England great and with amazing history and personalities?! You should study more, mate! Uk is a nation built on blood of the innocent, piracy, theft, extorsion and genocide. The 3 years i've lost there are the most miserable of my life. Never again!
I know your pain. 17 years in Kettering. I feel jealous of criminals as they got shorter sentences than me here😂.
Same thing. It's been 12 years now in the UK and moving back to Romania is the next step.
I am proud to be Romanian. I am glad to see that more and more foreigners discover our country and come to appreciate it. I hope you will also come to Iasi...
I am From Nepal 🇳🇵 I will come in Romania very soon
Your dreams could become a reality very soon 😂😂😂😂😂….
@@RomeoUrsu-fy9qo really? Why?
respect old people and you will be the king there! your choice@@pradipregmi4574
It is a land of milk and honey, so long as you spend the money made there in romania. Or any other eastern euro country.
Been living here permanently with my Romanian wife in Cluj-Napoca for 5yrs and can appreciate many of the comments and challenges if living here. Home is where your heart is and we are very happy being here. Our two Cockapoos love it here as well. Great story and looking forward to seeing more !
@@anunturipubli7997 We are very happy here in Cluj-Napoca. Thanks and obviously visited Oradea a few times.

Leaving in Cluj won't be so cheap , then 😂😂. I made a comparison on prices on food between Romania and UK and was amazed to see that prices are sometimes higher in Romania 😂😂😂.
Eu înțeleg și vorbesc destul de bine engleza dar vă scriu în limba mea frumoasă!

România este o țară unică prin noi, românii!
You will be surprised how much better the food you grow yourself will taste. Generally speaking, the lands haven't been intensively exploited agriculturally as they have in countries like the Netherlands or Germany where they use lots of fertilizers and chemicals. I've had a dutch acquaintance come over and be surprised how delicious our tomatoes taste. Dude kept eating like tomatoes were the only food available.
I was called a stupid neandertaler by a dutch when I said that I hope their shit vegetables can freeze in their solar shit .... we have "muraturi" and we understand the ritm of nature, we dont need their tomatos in the winter... but in his eyes I was a primitive monkey who just discover civilization....
Drove through Romania once, wow, what a beautiful land
Good luck to the English guy and his young family, and thanks for the insight
You're welcome, more videos coming soon
My wife (Romanian) and Son have moved already, I'm organising and I'm going to join her next year. Similar moral compass and family values appeal to us.
nice, which part of romania?
Bun venit în România! Welcome to Romania!
had about the same amount of land like the one towards the end of the vid, sold it with only 12k euros... i couldnt find a buyer so i had to cut the price more then double. and the land is good for agriculture. Its amazing how cheap the land is in some zones of the country. if you are a foreigner with some good money saved and look for a nice peaceful retirement Romania is the place for you.
in all honesty, it will get harder once you realize that you don`t get to have the same support like other countries have when it comes to farming and agriculture. beside that, there are taxes that you will have to pay on all that land that can be discouraging if you don`t get anything back in return. whit these being said, i`m glad the people that are arriving in my country are respectful and are appreciating my country. after six years of living in london i had to come back, i really missed the country side and the food from the local markets
I don't recommend anyone tries to make a living or live from farming alone but growing your own food, animals for food while working online, remote or part time can work really well
Multumesc for your extra information, sir!
@@verdikulk6193 you're welcome
At the end of the day living in Romania it's way much comfortable
Indeed, that 50 pounds per 1000 square meters of land per year will really put a dent in your economies.
Stop being such a doomer, taxes on property is very low in Romania. Our most taxed field is work, we are overtaxed on our work not our properties.
Daca tot este despre romani si Romania am sa va scriu in limba romana ! Eu sunt in UK de 23 ani dar cat de curand vreau sa ma intorc acasa pentru ca nu simt ca suntem acasa aici in UK . In legatura cu salariile : in UK salariile sunt mari dar cheltuielile sunt extraordinare pe dealta parte in Romania salariile mai mici dar si cheltuielile sunt mai mici !
si io s in uk si niciodata nu o sa ma simt de al locului si de o i sta pana la pensie

Better post in English. This site is about Romania but not for Romanians. It's a perfect English language ecosystem to promote Romania as destination for living. They are doing a great job here, with specific topics for people in need for a change. Why not Romania, for God sake ! As a Romanian, I'm delighted to see more skilled professional individuals coming here and helping us to positively push for a change in Romania. There are lots of things to improve here, and every little helps. Nu cred ca sunt multi Romani abonati la acest canal. Zi frumoasa in continuare.
hi I stumbled across this video just now - I have done a very similar thing but the only thing that is different for us is that we are in Hungary near the Serbian border. As with Luke, went through hoops to buy the property and additional land but all sorted now including a fully renovated house. It was an old farm and now is has become our base to not only produce a lot of our own produce, we have created a TH-cam channel showing others all about regenerative gardening or growing
nice, i had a quick nose at your channel, drop me an email on headforthehillsromania@gmail.com
maybe there is some way we help each other. cheers
Romania it s stunning, you re welcome but respect tradition and culture of Romania❤
you're very lucky that you're having something of a cultural revival
I hope your channel grows exponentially. After so many years abroad( 20 or so)out of which the last 15 in the UK, I think there is no perfect place and would be happy once I move my earnings online, to split myself in few countries where I have family and friends, Romania being by birth land and where I grew till the age of 21. I appreciate the time I have spent in England, developed myself and the connections I have made and I hope one day I can sit at the same table with both of you, somewhere in Romania.
thank you :)
I'm so happy you guys have found your place of heaven in Romania. I'm rooting for your success and happiness. I'm Romanian and I have decided to move and live permanently in the UK. I wasn't running from anything or anyone in Romania, I just wanted a change, my partner and me, work wise is much better for us than Romania, both being engineers. We can't tell if we will ever come back, or probably just to visit family and friends. Life is how you make it, and how you design it and what people you're having around you. We have homes and significant size land in romania but at the minute we have no plans for it. We have a small dream, we both love bees and a business we would like to have is a beekeeping one. Who knows..
Hey do you remember me this is Farmer Pete from the States. Glad to see more people are taking up farming. I would recommend checking out the market for organic vegetables and how far away are they from his land. I'm still thinking about moving to Romania. I'm now in Thailand but I think I will be in Romania next summer.
of course i remember, i like very much the idea of private farming networks where the members agree in advance to buy the products, it's a pretty interesting idea and saves the farmer his biggest problem of finding markets constantly
@@randomromaniaand avoid the legal requirements which actually are blocking the acces to the fresh raw bii stuff and I'm thinking especially to the raw milk products which are organic and more healthy that the processed food.
@@ionelghiorghita688 i'm very interested in private food networks, feel free to email me on headforthehillsromania@gmail.com if you have ideas to share :)
@@randomromania not yet but this could be the way of staying out of the "food control" which is real and not just another "conspiration teorie".
Hi Luke, I am glad you chose Romania. Romania need more people like you .
I live in Thailand on Ko Samui now, but planning to move to Romania around march. Great video, thanks a lot !
Proud I came across this channel. Great job and welcome to Romania! I have lived in the UK for quite a while with my family but strongly thinking to move back home.
Interesting channel, glad to see expats that are enjoying the good parts of Romania!
good parts vastly outweigh bad in my opinion
Good luck to him and his family
I am Romanian born in Brașov Transilvania in 1958, left ROMANIA in 1986.
Unfortunately i will not return to Romania, i am old and we don't have any friends anymore and family members all of them passed away.
We settle down in the UK for good long time ago
I know the birocratic system in Romania.
I respect your point of view regarding my country, I hope the young family will find great life here!!
they seem very happy already :)
I am a paper-worker here in Romania, yes, there are some bugs, but in time, I guess we will simplify processes. For me, it is not too hard, I work since 2012, so, I am adapted with diverse situations.. It is a bit hard with papers, I guess it is not very hard, and, finaly, anyone can handle it, with some research before starting.. a house, a project.. anything.
Such lovely story. We came back after 10 years of London, we do miss it but also believe that was a smart move. Love your videos!
No. I know what I will say now. I did this few times and ,you need to look from the beginning if the peace of the land you want to buy is really having only one landlord ,not a family heritage, not multiple landlords on the same property. Much easier,and much shorter road, good luck to everyone. I'm happy you decided to come here. A very warm welcome. Petrica
agreed
I didn't know English either and i was heiped by English people.
Welcome to Romania, , 🎉🎉🎉 Luck , and we as romanians are greteful to England and we will help you with everything we can ..
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Follow your dreams ..
Best wishes for you and your wife..
Bine ai venit in Romania 🇷🇴
Enjoy your life in our country 🎉✌️
I'm impressed how many people from UK 🇬🇧 move here 😮 ,glad you like 👍 it 👌
Great video for of millions romanian that emigrated in Uk to see that that is not that bad in their home town as more and more british people move here in Romania
a lot of people moved to the west based on a narrative that was 50 years out of date, i came to understand england far better after i left
Cacanarul asta probabil a votat ca sa te dea afara din jegul lui de tara ! Si tu i-o sugi ca vezi draga e marele brit !
Great video
We need you guys here in Romania . Please come in thousands. We can build a better, safer and prosperous community!!!
I came back after 21 years of Toronto , Canada
it seems some people in the comments don't want us here, thanks for your encouragement anyway :)
Remember brexit ?
planning my return to Romania from USA with the wife.. still looking and hopping to get a job with a U.S. company that allows remote work and getting that US salary in Romania.
ideal if you can do it :)
Even with a low US salary in Romania, it would provide a rather high standard of living.
@@citizenz4640 also you can get very poor here and still have a pretty good quality of life, impossible in the west
@@randomromaniaThat s true 😊.
For someone who loves to drive for pleasure, in Romania is many amazing roads, things that I was missing in Uk.
I've noticed this curious inverse correlation between driving for pleasure and one's kids growing up
That is really spot on. Congrats on the interview.
Even though we may lack many things, like infrastructure and proper digitalization of institutions, just to name a few, I think nowadays, safety and a more peaceful way of life have become a priority.
thank you :)
Please do not complain about the lack og digitalization.
Digitalization is the guaranteed way to full spectrum slavery.
For freedom we need to go back in time, not ahead where the matrix gets stronger by the day.

If the seller does his homework, buying a property should take 2 days. But on countryside mainly, people don't pay too much attention on this till they decide to sell. In case it's an inherited property of course it's a process all entitled are invited to state their claims according to the law. That's why it took 9 months. Normally, you need to have your property document, one which shows the exact limits measured with a satelite system and the day before buying the public notary will ask from the Judge office a document valid for 24 hours showing the seller hasn't already solded to someone else the day before. So it's quite simple and safe.
As for your food needs, build a greenhouse or a solarium no bigger than 50 sqm. You'll make enough to donate to your relatives and it all will be bio. All in all, give your self time and you'll be happy in Romania.
Well not really. If you want to buy intravilan land, then yes, that is easy. If you want to buy agricultural land, there are some procedures which involves the town hall making public the selling offer, and expecting the other individuals that have the primary right to acquire it. If it is a good price, those that have the right to acquire it will screw your plan, and you will have to pay them so that they do not bid on the land. This will take a few months.
The good news is that, if you already have a land, then you have the primary right to acquire the land of your neighbors, if they decide to sell. Therefore you can extend your land, and you have 100% chances to buy the land without having the extra pay.
@@danielmogos8990 I must confess I've never heard of anything like this! No neighbour can have a say over a transaction between two individuals! There's no bidding, no nothing!
@@lsd8497 I know what I am talking about. Pls read carefully what i said, and if you still dont get, just google it.
Its called "Drept de preemtiune".
@@danielmogos8990 I'm married for over 20 years with a romanian woman. I understand and speak quite well the language. But you're referring to something completely different and not about a classic transaction of a property. Preempting rights applies when preconditions exists already in a document or a law. So you're talking about a particular situation and I can't figure out why!
I was in UK and now i"m back to Romania ,for the same reason life there is too fast and here, if you like the country in special you can live the dream live nearly off grid.I'm so glad for the fact that more and mire foreigners apreciate Romania and chose to live here ,YOU ARE MOST WELCOME this is so nice .Good luck and all the best
thank you :)
Good for you! 👏 I wish you the best and may many more people do like you.
Congratulations !!! I worked in Uk as i ' m romanian and bought a house and come back to live in Romania !
nice, where did you buy?
I am a romanian and living in london, plan is to make some money and get back to spending it in romania. Love London as I often to concerts I can't see at home, love uk for the opportunities, love the fairness of the people in uk, but like you said...you earn some money, but is less life outside work (i'm a computer programmer). Weird fact about romania, is about as big as uk 238.397 km² vs 243.610 km² but the population is 19 mills vs 67 mills, ....pretty sure there is a lot of land to fill :)
England, Scotland and Wales... all 3 together with an area of 209,331 km2

Another great video! Thank you for this. I can't wait to go back next March.
Romanian here, I hope you make it a success, bud. Sometimes it takes a view from outside to see the potential.
sure, i learnt more about enlgand after i left and saw many things is a different light
Interesting story, good luck to Luke!
It's so nice to see people from the west discovering Romania. It is a beautiful country, and in the rural parts it's like going back in time, it has not been infected with modernisation and industrialisation and centralisation. But you still have access to all the commodities of a modern society. I think it is great with the cultural exchange between Europeans.
what "exchange" moron?
They come and BUY us out while we are kicked out of their countries !
Gargle their balls more.
It is funny how Luke is surprised by the amount of his land, but at the same time, you can see that he's aware that he has so many options/opportunities regarding the land.
Please share the Facebook groups if possible. I would love to meet new people who come to Romania, and I am curious to see what new ideas they have in their minds when they think about Romania.
F. "facebuci" .
Well Done sir, Wish u all the best.
good for you, enjoy
I watched this video and I can resemble my self to Luke. I am from Malta and my wife is Romania. We experienced similar things. 😊
We did the same thing bought some or a lot in the countryside and moved here.
Living here can be frustrating when it comes to basic things that is expected in return of paying your taxes like the local council providing street lights, cleaning of branches for public roads so garbage can be collected by trucks and not encourage to burn it or dump it in the country side like many locals do, not to have to pay.
..other then these things life is nice and you get value for money but with some sacrifices.
I guess you can t have it all!
good bless malta brothers from romania.
What an inspirational story! Bravo!
hi there i cant wait for new video, i love your enthusiasm and please ignore the idiots leaving hurtful commetns on their5 min lunch break on a tuesday - i am greatful to find this channel and hope it opens a fresh door to unbiased conversation, much love from uk Marius Cristoiu
hi, thanks for the support. the haters don't bother me they just make me more determined to prove them wrong :))
I came in UK to make some money, then i realized you guys basically have no life here..unless you are born rich!
Life here is hectic and rushed,and to be honest i will never settle down in UK, me and my English wife will go back to my homeland and have a relaxed easy life !
Not quite true but sadly can't discuss such issues here
Both countries have good and bad aspects.
@weldmaster1825 you started off wrong with your initial goal. Imagine, if you would have emigrated with the intention to also integrate, the raising money goal wouldn’t take you back to Romania. Now that being said, well done, settle where you feel at home ;) #rezist
Life is rushed and hectic here i say you said the truth.
@@randomromania I agree with the idea of not quite true :)
Because all is a matter of perspective.
I quote from the video
-what do you like here?- people, they are so friendly.. and later on... you know.. road rage... but once you get used to it...
-what you hate more about UK?-solicitors... and then later comes the same truth that is here... paperwork. so he run away from devil and meets devils mother:))
-what is the problem in UK? I was such an workaholic, here I am poorer but happier. Hmmm, you cannot be poor and happy in UK?
For me both countries are the similar, obviously with some particularities.
For example I am impressed by the canals. And those finger boats. If you fit one with solar panels.... such a calm life.
And do not forget about the safety net. Give to any of us the income provided by a house in UK, and we will be living very happy here :)
But at least you steered it right in the end. Romanians do not know what they got... Nor the brits.
Well, I know very well what I have got. With good and bad. And I got used to it :)
Salut! Nice one mate, I lived in the UK in Daventry for around 5 years, lovely people take care!
You got really good content, keep it coming.
thank you
Hi Luke, welcome to Romania!
Wow this is amazing!!!
good luck mate, hope it works out for you
Romanian hre, loving to watch you two and see you discover this amazing world!
Felicitari, doamne ajuta.
Magic! Beautiful!
Well, let me tell you a secret, with 10,000-15,000 pounds you can buy a decent house with 2000-3000 square meters, especially in the south of Romania. The soil is dark brown, ideal for any kind of organic farming. You will never buy something like this in England at the same price.🎉❇️🎋
Great inspiration! Thank you! Sometimes we forget how blessed we are and need a video like this to be remembered. Congrats!❤
Thank you
Awesome video
thank you :)
Hi Luke be blessed with your family
Great video!
wow, you sent is money, thanks so much. :)
Right … well done Ed because you put this to our attention. As a Romanian living in Uk for almost 10 years, I intend to come back and to buy a piece of land because I see now how things work here in UK. I re discovered my country and honestly I really want to come back. Don’t get me wrong, English people are ok, majority of them. There are other reasons why I want to leave this country. For other English people who want to move in Romania or for foreigners in general, I advise you not to buy a house or a piece of land through an agency. Try to find a property by yourself and to negotiate with the owner in order to buy it. Don’t accept middleman. Welcome to everyone who decides to move in Romania. I am from Arad but I used to live in Bucharest and Focsani so I have a good image about Romania. Well done guys
Bine ca dai sfaturi la straini sa cumpere pamantul nostru, esti un alt tradator. ROMANII TREBUIE SA AIBA PAMANT NU STRAINI
@@user-cr1wm1ph9hso we have to kick all the Romanians out of the rest of Europe then? No more free money or free housing. At least people come to Romania and pay their own way. How sad and jealous you are lol
Welcome home!
Yes, that is true, Romania is affordable and you can buy house with big land for maybe 20.000 euro in villages to be by drive at 15-20 mins from cities. This is amazing compare to west, north and south of Europe. But you need an income from outside of country to live your dream because i want to remind you that food price is same like in London and medium incomes deference is couple good thousands pounds
If you come in România have common sense and speak and learn romanian. Romanian is the only language In the world that Bcz of the words that you say , you smile . That is because the Romanian words are made with the letters E, Ă, Z And Ț which this ones are letters of smiling . When you pronounce this letters you smile and the way the Romanian language is made is that 99% of our words finishing in the vocals E and Ă And that means you always end up a word in a smile thanks to this letters . English on the others side doesn’t have this letters Bcz E you only write in most cases but never say this letter so the smile is gone . Plus , we all need to know this aspects of Romanian language so everyone can stay in a good mood . Words are codes and energies and the Romanian words is a treasure Bcz you always smile when you talk . So keep this in mind
No . You are not the biggest impostor,you're normal,you don't know yet. You will be ok. There are books, Information everywhere,videos on TH-cam. And let's not forget the good people around you and the community around you.
it's incredible the information people have access to now but so many still complain about no opportunity and so on
It’s all about having a good and supportive wife! I’m happy for you bud, wishing you a wonderful life!
That your king is also welcome. I appreciate UK.❤
this is amazing to see it. you are so fortunate! amazing !
Great interview, and the quality of your videos keep incresing. Please make a special video with longer scenes from the intro, it look amazing.
thank you, a special video about what exactly?
@@randomromania the shots from the intro, the one with the drone of the mountains.
@@CristiIstrate oh i see, just a compilation of drone shots
@@randomromania exactly. Thank you for your replay.
@@CristiIstrate thank you, i will discuss the idea with the team :)
The best thing to buy land or property in Romania is to have a good friend who knows everything that u need .
9 months is ok. I am a Romanian who lives in London and we applied for planning permission to have an extra toilet in the flat and it took us about 6 months. It’s worth waiting for something you really want.
:))
Just found you, interesting channel!
thank you, please share our videos if you can :)
Love the enthusiasm ! Good luck!
we try to be all positive :)
Good video mate, i got you exactly what you mean, that’s what I’m trying to explain to the brits when they asked me about my country Romania and if i wanna turn back, I’m actually loving both countries and admit there are good and bad on both sides but realistically Romania is not that bad as a country. So yeah my plan is to relocate back home but i will always keep the door open in Uk as a back plan. Good luck with your dreams. Btw which part of Romania are you based?
hi, drop me an email on headforthehillsromania@gmail.com for more detailed info. cheers. ed
Yes. Hengist and Horsa were the first international land buyers
No, we don't know, but thankfully, you are here to teach us savages the way 🫡🙄
You can teach yourselves, all the information you'll ever need is free on the internet, just need self belief and persistence
Yeah they got NOT muslims and Hamas supporters ha!
You mean they don't support terrorists and war criminals on any side.
Thank you for this inspirational post 👏👏
I left Romania 23 years ago, i am in the Uk and happy about my life here. Unfortunately, i don't have anyone in Romania, and even if i wanted, i could never get back. I felt like a stranger in Romania on my last holiday there. It is sad, but many Romanians are in my exactly the same situation.
interesting, i feel the same about england in some ways, can you elaborate as to why you think you felt like that?
@@randomromania I will give you some examples why I am happy I left Romania! If you go in a shop and want to buy a pair of jeans, after you tried the 2nd pair, the seller will look at you very badly, it looks like he wants to kick you out. Whenever you go in a state institution, you need to queue for hours in front of the offices carrying a lot of paperwork and most of these office workers will treat you badly. We have corruption at high level in the state institutions. If you need to go to a hospital you need to bribe doctors, nurses, and bring your own medicines sometimes. They won't even look at you if you don't prepare envelopes with money. We have the most corrupt politicians, starting from former prime ministers. Every day on the news, politicians get arrested for fraud mostly but they will never go to prison. I could give you numerous examples which determined 6 millions Romanians to leave their country in the last 25 years looking for a better future. If I decide to open a business in Romania, if you don't give money to the right persons, in a few months time they will force you to close your business. These are only a few examples, everyone can confirm it
@@Magic-wo4sj , so you're telling me that the UK is better than Romania? In which way lmao, more crimes? Sure, you can EARN more , but for what price? Having your kids be corrupted by a degenerate ideology? Having your family be put to risk by living in areas like London? No thanks.
Magic, you are not alone. I have been living in the US for over 35 years and recently returned from a Romanian vacation with a dreadful feeling. The only pleasant experience was some of the people's interaction, who, in most cases, were extremely friendly and welcoming. Everything else is a mess from the 3-hour train ride delay to the neglected roads and crumbling infrastructure. I found the cost of living to be extremely high, especially in Bucharest, in many instances more expensive than Vienna or Budapest. The real estate prices are also insanely high. Unless you wanna live in the country, purchasing a house or apartment in any of the larger cities (Oradea, Timisoara, Brasov, Cluj, or Bucharest) has become for many cost-prohibitive. The level of indolence (lasă-mă ca să te las), lack of professionalism, and the general feeling of malaise drove me crazy. And you better be healthy and don't have any accidents because the healthcare is a disgrace! Everything looked so alien and could never see myself moving back.
I have less money but more peace here. Good words and verry true.
Also you can work remote and find jobs on likedin or ejobs. Many find jobs there.
woah as a romanian I love this video and alot of helpful informations and stories! Thank you!!!
you're welcome
I guess this comment section is the place where people that can't sleep meet up 😂
@@axjkhl7699 i try to avoid sleep, early bird catches the worm
God bless Romania 🇷🇴
Yes, we are blessed to have Ciolacu and Ciuca!
N.are rost sa aduci politica in discutia asta... cam toți politicienii sunt la fel si din păcate nu avem alții mai buni, momentan.

@@ovidiucroitoru5242 ba nebunule vezi ca vin strainii astia cu liberalo-marxismul lor de ne caca in cur in 2-3 generatii.
Au cacat tara lor si acuma fug.
very nice video!
Thank you!
It really strikes me how we kind of swapped countries, I know what I left behind.
The financial/political context at the time kind of made explore and try settle abroad, UK seemed to work as I embraced the culture and the friendliness (more friendly in Scotland to be honest).
The political and Ukraine war context is still an issue so don't realy know if this is the best time to move back, but I am priviledged to have a second plan like most of my country fellow during Covid crisis.
both countries have good and bad aspects, i think it's possible to make a good life anywhere given the will to do it, feel free to email me if you want more details on the stuff i'm involved with headforthehillsromania@gmail.com
I'm very happy for you Good luck, I'm from Romania in England, I'm a builder
I thoroughly enjoyed this clip.
Salut from Timisoara!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is such a good feeling knowing that people from other countries finds peace in our country!
The main thing România remains a wonderful place to live comparing other nations is that the Capitalism has just started to spread!
Endless growth has to stop if we want to live decent ( no matter the domain we talk about ) !
Is a hard work to get this country back on track , but if the corrupt politicians will run the country this way, is all going to be worst!
Is a matter of time until everyone will leave again!
Too much negativity for today lol but we must point the truth!
Massive respect Luke , all the best for you and your family!🫡
Keep going with these interviews.
will do :)
