Why I chose to live in Turkey Part 1 

I'm from Poland and feel the same ;)

@gedeyom gıyamete hamıneya yes I'm a Somali

@gedeyom gıyamete hamıneya that's very kind of you 😍

He's a good story teller. I wish he lived near us.

Hi, Thankyou for the reply, have a look at my other channel, it is more house orientated, there are contact details on there for the agent I used .. My turkish life

Thank you for your kind words 👍

Just watch this one and I hope that part 2 is still coming. Planning to move also to live there at least when I'm retired, but I don't mind to move sooner If it's possible and that's why I would like to hear more. 🙂 Regards from Finland.

Renting is much better, In think... ;)

Thanks for the information. Would we need private medical insurance and is it expensive? We are both retired in the UK

@@rozcarder6220 you would need it because there is no reciprocal agreement between uk and Turkey, it starts around 350 pound a year and depends on coverage can go up to 1.000 pound or even more , its better to ask expats who is living there they can give you more information , there are many information in google about it.i know that Turkey and UK goverment discussing reciprocal agreement about health insurance long long time but nothing happened yet.

@@rozcarder6220 Healthcare is free in Turkey even major operations only cost people $80 or something. If you're a resident it's still really cheap & if you want private health insurance it's much cheaper here in Turkey than it is in the UK as it's subsidised by the government for all residents & citizens

Are you gay?

The pay might be higher in the states and other places but most of us cant afford to live... I'm a single mother and full time farmer and can not afford renting a home. And all the things most Americans have to pay for. I prefer to live simply and as a spiritual person who only cares for helping people and making the world a better place, I wont do jobs that carry negative karma either. So I'm hoping to go and do my community projects and farming over there possibly and bask in the culture.💗

Hi, I did not mean for it to sound like I take advantage of Turkey by earning in another country, it is just my circumstances, I also live very basic in Turkey, shopping in local markets and eating simple (but great) food. I like to think that I support local community and of course anything I earn goes into the Turkish economy.. Regards Marc

@@marcinturkey7231 ​ I apologize if sounded offensive. It was not my intention and certainly not against you. I meant politics and our governing. I'm very much grateful for your contribution to our economy. I'm sure the local markets are appreciating as well. Stay safe.

Inflation higher than 10% and declining lira would melt down your money. People protect their savings with gold, real estate or foreign currency there. But the main thing is, once you are there you will probably put the money not on the first place. Just a small garden will feed you in abundance and you will taste the value of sharing with others not only on birthdays, but almost everyday. So it is important the place you choose (not commercial areas, not too wealty around) and go along with as much as people. Most people maintain there social life with hunderds of friends, not a few friends like in Europe. For the small jobs like fixing the tire, threre is always someone will do the job for free by generosity. Nobody will shut down a store to your face because you are few minutes late. Almost any person eating and you say "afiyet olsun" will invite to join the meal. But of course it is about sharing, moderation and recipority.

@@webistk3949 You are describing a wonderful outlook on living and community. We hope to find a place as you describe: away from the “expats”, to integrate into the Turkish community. Part of my goal is to have a garden to share freely with the community.

It's easy to live in Turkey on a UK state pension even if only one person is receiving the pension or if you're receiving double that for two people you won't even be able to spend it all

@aLper ezbere yazılan şu yorumlara doyduk biz. Bana o cümleyi kurdurtanlarda gene aynı bu şekilde ezbere papağan gibi konuşanlar. neyin ne olduğunu biliyorum git ötede yap duygu sömürünü. İnsanı geç haklardan bile bahsedemezsin Türkiye de. Beyaz eşyacıdan aldığın süpürgenin garantisinden tut vergi mükellefi olmaya oradan vatandaşlık haklarına kadar hiç bir durumda her hangi bir hak sahipliğinden bahsedemezsin. Çok değil 22 yaşındayım şurada 10 dk da 50 tane sadece kendim karşılaştığım hak ihlali sayarım.

@@sonbahar5296 batının geleceği parlak değil sosyal çevre olarak ama ekonomi olarak asla çökmez belki cazibesini yitirir, sizin yaşınız büyük sanırım dünya gerçekliğinden biraz uzaksınız, gençleri anlayabilecğinizi sanmıyorum ama aklı selim olanların en azından isteklerine kulak vermeleri gerek, burada batıda bir kişi aylık maaşının 3 te 1 ile araba, oyun konsolu veya istediği hobiyi yapabiliyorken, ki bu dediğim ortalama maaş alan herkesin gücü yeten durum. Türkiyede bu varlık çağında gençlerin bu kadar imkansızlıklar içine itilmesi normal değil. Hele birde avrupada yaşayıp bu haksızlıklara ekonomik zorlukla boğuşan gençlere vatan haini deme hakkınız yok. Euro kazanıp gelip TL kazanan insanlara öğüt vermeyin. Yiyorsa bırak bütün euronu avrupada git memlekete faydan dokunsun. Asıl vatan haini ve yok edilmesi gereken senin gibi yobazlar.

Konya is not a place to fit foreigners, they can't tolerate even Turkish people from other cities.

300-400k usd you can build your dream villa.

Hi Dylan, Nothing against you really, I have 2 RU-vid channels and this one has been off my radar for a short time, I hope to be back and do another video soon... Kind Regards

Hi, of course there are people who struggle, just the same as any other country, I suppose my point was that you would think that poverty and homelessness would be more over here than in say the UK, it seems that if you don't have much money here you can still get by there are opportunities for you to be able to move forward.. Most of the people I have met including my neighbours have been very kind and welcoming, I honestly cannot think of a time where there has been hostility towards me.. not to say at some point I may experience this, I just find that what you project is what you receive. Regards

@@marcinturkey7231 thanks for replying... And sorry for my language in my original post.. lol. I was not careful enough and didn't realize you should actually read and reply it..Anyway, best regards!

Çok fazla gelen var. Çok kanal gördüm böyle yeni gelen yabancılar. Hoşgelmişler

Yeteri kadar paramız olsa, Türkiye bize de çok güzel gelir.

1.ülke güzel 2.her gün daha da ucuzluyor

@@aurea5124 hiç sormayın hiç

aldın mı cevabını :D

Hi, yes sorry for the delay, this is my second channel and it has been off my radar for a while, I hope to return soon with a more personal view of Turkey.. Regards Marc
