Hi Brian
How about Canada? We have all of your requirements, although I am not sure of the property laws.

Not of much help, but I can "rule out" Italy. People do not speak much english and housing is not very cheap. (but you could perhaps earn a little giving english lessons in language schools 15-25euros an hour to be taxed).

Don't know much about it but Malta is pretty english and I remember hotels were extremely cheap (25euros for a double room-3/4 stars), perhaps housing is too.

From what I read Property would be rather expensive...(but perhaps not so if far away from big cities...but you are too young to retire and not worry about finding work...)

I'm 21 - male
and have wanted to move out of the UK for about 6 months.
Got my passprt through today, so now that idea is one step closer I guess.

I dont live a lavish lifestyle, for a 21 year old you'd be suprised the stuff I dont own and do. I like a good mash-up like anyone does, but it aint the be-all and end all to my life like it seems to be for most of my mates.

So here's the deal ........

I've decided to go for a travel, with the intention of eventually staying somewhere for a few months and then hopefully renting or getting the equilvent of a mortage there.

My requirements are -
- Has to be cheap - around £500 pm rent max.
- I have to have a broadband net connection avaliable in my place of rent etc.
- Has to be a "live-able country" eg somewhere safe(ish) where they dont hate whites
- A country where a majority of the population speaks or understands english. I'm not too keen on learning a new language just to fit in.
- A country where the water is piped and safe, housing is built to a good condition and so on.

Originally I was thinking Bulgaria or Czech Republic, then I heard they were more expensive and "europeanised" now, so then I thought India or Goa ( but go put of by something about Foreign Nationals not being allowed to buy property there ? ).

So now I'm stumpped again - I'm looking for somewhere to go initially as a more of a visit, then to settle down as stated above.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

All the best,
Brian

If thats all the requirements you require and dont mind damp wet weather for 8 months of the year then i know i have the perfect place for you ,,
on the rental you can get a state owned apartment for that price easily,
Broadband is available,
Whites are accepted so long as they dont enter some areas,
60 % will speak english
Water is safe for drinking and piped in ,
The Apartments were built in the 1940s and withstood years of use so fairly solid .

The place is Bradford in the UK , Paradise to a lot and definately ticks all your boxes

To be honest ....... I sometimes think you are living in a different dimension to the rest of us
