New members of the Wales forum, introduce yourself here

Hi! My name is Angel. I have been living abroad for the last four years (Seoul, South Korea). However, I am back in the states now. I've been back here for about a month.  I'm planning on moving to Wales in about a month or so and am trying to get an idea about the cost of living. How much would I need (a month) to live fairly well (not expensively)?  Thanks for any help you could give. 

I am already in Wales/Cardiff
I am trying to get in touch with Greek people.

Hey there! I am Diana, been living in England for 5 years, but have just moved to Cardiff for work! Don't really know anyone here, so drop me a message if anyone's got a free evening to go for a pint!

Hi, I'm Ruth, my husband is Dave. We have a house in Merdanya near VT, but at the moment we are still in Wales waiting to sell our home. It's only been on the market for one month and no signs yet of any interest, I know it's early days but I'm impatient and not really keen on the move in the autumn/winter months!
I hope to set up a small dog care business, a boarding kennels but on a small scale, maybe just 4 or 5 dogs. I hope to attract expats who are looking for dog care while they return to the UK to visit family etc, and of course Bulgarian dog owners.
I am a nurse though, but doubt I can find work in VT without being able to speak Bulgarian (at the moment, but hope to learn). I don't mind that though really, looking forward to having my own business for a change.
Take care
Ruth;-)

Hi, I am Gianluca and I want learn english to cardiff.I live in florence. Bye bye

Dear All:

I am thinking very strongly to move into Bangor (Wales) and very interested in making friends. I have been living in the Southwest of the USA between Arizona and Texas in the city of the Cruces. Anyone familiar to this part of the USA will tell you it gets too hot and very dry desert climate. The beach is some 800 miles going either East or West from me. I lived in wales when I was a young lad studying in Gwent (Newport & Mon), in Lancaster and Manchester and London. I love Wales and especially wish to live closer to a beach and my choice appears heading towards Bangor.
Very interested in making friends. I am very active and travel internationally to do consulting and online teaching. Hopefully will link with expats who can share their experiences.
Cheers, Mohammed . 

PS: Speak one word of welsh, few French, few German, Fluency in Arabic and my English is pleasing to my ears

I am hoping to meet any ex-pats (not necessarily South African), who are living in this area. It would be nice to have company while exploring new places.

Regards
Linda
