SOUTH AFRICAN couple moving to ROMANIA

Daryl and his wife have looked all over Europe and have decided Romania is one of the best locations for them to relocate to.

As a South African, I like what Daryl says about not trashing his country of origin. My brother left South Africa more than 20 years ago, and my daughter, husband and grandkids left a year ago. We love our country, the climate, and our networks of friends and family. However, it has become increasingly difficult to function here when you pay your local government for services, and they fail to deliver. Over the last thirty years, South Africa deteriorated steadily and undeniably, which is why I have followed this channel for some time. Taking the step to leave remains expensive and risky, especially later in your life. Good luck to Daryl and his spouse.

Its a tough country to live in, especially if white, mixed race or indian. Its a sad thing what panafricanism did to it, probably worse than apartheid in many ways, even if some people scoff at this statement. Those parties spread hate, the politicians get rich, and ALL the rest of the people suffer. Welcome to Romania Darrell.

I could never live in a country where there is open racism again some demographics that no one seems to care about. I watched a video a while ago about "shoot to kill" as they were dancing and instigating for violence. 😮

I love what you are doing, I am very interested in the community you are trying to build. I moved in Romania 17 years ago, now I am a professional photographer/cinematographer in Bucharest but I love the country side and I am looking to move away from the capital. Congrats for this channel and I hope we can talk more soon. Cheers!

Romania is such a gorgeous country. I see that South Africans are heading to Eastern Europe in numbers. I'm moving to Bulgaria later next year, so will contact your sponsor for solar back-up options (I'm 100% solar here in the USA).

[@sgtunix]

That's interesting! I haven't noticed that trend (of South Africans going to Eastern Europe in numbers), but I have noticed an influx of immigrants from countries like Slovakia, Romania, etc to South Africa. In fact just got a new neighbor here who is an engineer, recently emigrated from southern Europe to SA.

[@randomromania]

@@sgtunix yes i can imagine that but i think for older people many just want peace and stability and south africa is not really trending in that direction

When you move to a country like Romania, which is very religious, 97% Orthodox, you have to adapt, not try to change this, as happens in Birmingham or other cities in the UK, where the English are afraid to talk about their religion because they are surrounded by Muslims.If you like the country you came to, respect and keep what you found, if not, no one is holding you by force, it is your decision where it is better to go or stay. No offence!

[@SelenaXYT]

Anglican Church and the Orthodox Church are sister churches, both being fundamentally Christian. In conclusion, the fact that Romania is Orthodox will not create any disadvantage for another Christian culture, especially since Orthodoxy is a more tolerant religion than Catholicism I would say. For a Christian or even an atheist, religion in Romania is his last problem. We have been living in peace and quiet with many religious communities for many years.

[@omi685]

Um, I'm a Romanian atheist and have no issues living in Romania 😂 most Romanian are religious in name only anyway! Romania isn't IRAN!!! Mind your own business and I'll mind mine.

...The idea of building an off grid community is not bad...the isolated off grid land been the only type of land still affordable. You can leave a house more than one month especially if there is not much value on it. Half of the Romanian countryside has empty houses. My relatives villa located on the mountains was only ones in 25 years break into by robbers . They took nothing but the cooper pipes the lost being covered by the insurance. However before deciding to buy spend off grid one one cold season November-May to see if the place is for you....Any green sunny place may be a bit depressing in a cold rain, a sea of mud, naked trees etc. Tourism is not to be confused with Immigration!

[@randomromania]

november-may, cold season? december-march more like, depends where you are of course

[@ISPRI2011]

From the end of October until end of April...some years even in early May in the Romanian houses you have heating...in the mountain regions, sometimes you may need some heating even in August. Also true that in the last 2 decades winters became milder.
