What are the most rewarding aspects of retiring in Ukraine?

"1) The exchange rate is still quite favourable against the British pound. So although we don't live like royalty we do enjoy an above-average lifestyle compared to many locals. 2) I'm just amazed at the quality of the food here, it's fresh and invariably organic. You can taste the difference, especially with meat. The shops and markets are great. There are even western-style shopping malls like "Karavan" if you're missing all those expensive clothes shops back home. 3) The people are generally more friendly and open. 4) British weather is both dull and unpredictable, whereas we get contrasting weather, cold and snow in the winter and a good blast of sunshine in the summer. There has been very little rain this year. Nice weather for retirement. 5) I like the wide open space once you leave the city. In the UK people live like sardines in a can. 6) The parks are great, we often frequent Gorky Park in the summer. 7) When I'm not driving I take the Metro. It's exceptionally good. For just 3 uah you can go anywhere and it's very quick and efficient. Whereas in London the Metro is always slow, crowded and very expensive. 8) Re. driving - there's no road tax, no MOT, no speed cameras and no speed bumps, it's great. The car insurance is against the vehicle, not the individual, so when you sell a car the insurance goes with it. A lot less hassle owning a car than in the UK. 9) There are some awesome places to visit in the Ukraine, barring the trouble spots of course," said another expat in Kharkov, Ukraine.

"One of the most rewarding aspects of retiring in Ukraine is the low cost of living. With a lower cost of living, retirees can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without having to worry about their finances. Additionally, Ukraine offers a wide range of cultural activities and attractions, making it an ideal place to spend one's retirement. The country also boasts a rich history and culture, providing retirees with plenty of opportunities to explore and learn. Finally, Ukraine is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe, making it a great place to relax and enjoy nature," wrote a member who made the move to Ukraine.
