Good decision. Serbia is such a beautiful country. To all my fellow Serbs out there; I love you.❤️❤️

I live in Serbia. My car stopped midway through a crossroad. 2 cars pulled over, both drivers came out, pushed my car to the sidewalk and asked me what the problem is. I said it probably needs a push. All other cars behind these two cars patiently waited with no honking or anything. So the guys from the first two cars who came out to see what's going on pushed it back on the road, started pushing the car and I managed to start it. I honked at them as I was leaving, rolled the window and gave them a wave without watching them (eyes on the road). I didn't even know who they were, I was in another city, but that's the way it works here.

Welcome to Serbia, just remember one thing: if you ANY problem, ask everyone to help you, 99% will at least try or ask someone else they know. This is the way to live in Balkans, be positive and connected to many people. We love to solve other people problems and feel good doing it.

My wife is romanian and I can tell serbs are sympathised and admired by romanians. You made a good choice.

I am from Austria and met my wife in Serbia. I married there. The people here are very nice, and the streets are very safe even for women in the night. Not like in Vienna, where it is very dangerous for a woman.

I have moved from UK to Bulgaria next door to you for many of the same reasons, I didn't recognise England any longer..... I traveled most of Europe and knew within 24 hours this was my soul home, no BS no PC, good community, and could have chosen Serbia also, thanks for sharing

Left Canada 3 weeks before lockdown in 2020 because something inside of me told me I needed to get out! I never imagined that after almost 3 years I would not have returned! Canada has completely lost its’ way and I am disgusted by what I have seen develop over there! Good luck on your new life!

There was a Canadian guy who moved to Serbia, Belgrade, and he said on a KZfaq channel that coming to Serbia was like waking up from a coma. 😉😉 I think for most Canadians coming to Serbia is like going to planet Mars, totally different, but in a good way. I had a good friend from Belgrade visiting me in Denmark, where I live, the first thing he asked like 20:00 in the evening, where is all people, I don't even see a cat or dog outside, and no movements inside houses either. For him it was like coming to Twilight Zone.

Serbian here from Toronto. I agree 100% with you. You will have a blast. Omg bruttaly honest video!

I am moving (back) to Serbia from Australia. You are on the money regarding the BS covid response. There is stil work to be done in Serbia, but at least it was the first country in the world to have protests and overthrow the lockdowns.

Welcome to beautiful Serbia! Serbia has its pluses and minuses. I moved here 12 years ago, but I am of Serbian descent and my husband was born in Serbia. Many people have come following COVID because Serbia is a place where people are just naturally seeking freedom of thought, speech and life. You can't keep a good Serb down or locked up! Even after 10 years here, I still haven't seen or done half of what I wanted to! Although the group dynamic can be challenging Serbian people are open, warm and helpful. Try sending your 5th grader to buy a loaf bread in the US or Canada. It really helps to learn the language. It took me a year to be comfortable but now I am very fluent and read and write in cyrillic!

After 5 yrs living in Canada, I just came back to my home country, Brazil, and I have no regrets.

Hey, I do envy you! I'm still in Canada, but born in Belgrade. Coming back soon and totally agree as our country is amazing and underestimated. Most of young people speak English, good job. Wish you to be happy and healthy in my country!

Your impression is very realistic and it shows the soul of Serbian people, straight, hospitable and ready to help stranger in any situation.

I’m Serbian living in Canada for last 32 yrs. Welcome to Serbia and enjoy.

I can relate to your story so much. I left US for similar reasons. Good luck in Serbia! Love the people there.

Welcome to Serbia, we will do our best to keep Serbia a free country ♥️♥️♥️

WELCOME TOSERBIA , I WISH U ALL THE BEST HERE AND HAPPY NEW BEGINING :) IF U NEED ANYTHING JUST SAY , PPL WILL HELP 100% , WE ARE HERE FOR U :)

In Serbia racism is not the thing. There's things people do like or dislike, but I always say that we have personal freedom more than anywhere else. Welcome to Serbia

Moving to Serbia from UK... No regrets

I love the way you described the life in Serbia....Of course, there are some minuses, especially if your life is supported by average Serbian salary...If it is not the case, Serbia can be really cool place for living.

Welcome home! Wish you all the best and reach out if you need anything. I came back (also with family) after 15 years living in EU.

Thank you for coming into our beautiful country! You are so so welcome! ❤❤❤

I have a funny story about the small talk. A few years ago, a couple of us from Serbia started working for a small US company as software developers. There was this guy from the US who would ask everyone how they were doing after joining a meeting. So a coworker would often say something like, "I'm a little bit tired today" and such. Eventually the guy from the US told him that was just a rhetorical question and that he was not actually supposed to say how he was doing :D :D I really don't like it when people ask that question and don't really care. Buy yeah, Serbia is not a terrible place to live if you work for a foreign company and don't follow politics/never watch TV.

Greetings from Canada. I agree with everything you say about what's going on in Canada. I too will be leaving Canada within the next 2 years. I've been to many different countries and haven't decided which country as of yet but I will be leaving without question.

So happy for you!! Can’t wait to hear all about your journey. ♥️

Welcome! There's no ''perfect'' single country in the world, but I hope you will enjoy life here, and little by little change your life to better. Serbia is also not perfect, but we are still '''new oasis'' and different. Feel free to ask for advice. Keep on with videos. Cheers

Welcome to Serbia, nice to have you here :)

So proud of you guys and sooooo glad to watch your journey ❤

Be aware that sometimes when we are nervous because of something we can lash it out by rude talk, but don't worry, that just ends up like that. :) Welcome!

I am english...married to a Serb...living in Serbia. I agree with a lot of what you say...my children were here from 10 years old...initially difficult...had Serbian lessons...then loved it here....made lifelong great friends ( people have school re-unions for ever which is lovely).....best place for children. Abrupt is ok it is honest...dont agree about tipping thing though....they are mostly not well paid and everyone tips. But yes a very big hearted and friendly country....people make time for each other and are very kind in general. Much safer and more wholesome for children definately. I have lived here for 14 years and love it.....the Serbs have a difficult time often economically but their wealth is in their character, family values, kindness and sense of humour....also I prefer the more genuine reactions here to often what can be fake english politeness ( not always though...lots of nice english people too)... but generally speaking...

ty for this inspiring video, as a Slav from another country I'm in the process of moving to Serbia and this is my first ever abroad trip 🙏. I'm so scared that I'd be lost there without any friends, a job or place to live. I'm trying to stay positive but moving abroad and starting from scratch is an absolutely challenging experience

I moved to Belgrade last year as well, and I just love Serbs !!! I feel what you're saying 100% :) The only disadvantage of Serbia - it is rather poor country (outside Belgrade and Novi Sad the cities look sadly) and there's A LOT OF GARBAGE EVERYWHERE. I hope we can fix this somehow and make Serbia even greater!! ❤❤❤

Very happy for you and the family 😊

Don't know if Serbia would be on my list but I can sure sympathize with getting the hell out of Canada. Counting down the days till I can do just that myself.

Thank you for the honest feedback. Hope you and your family find and feel at home here in Serbia.

I hope you are enjoying Serbia! I'm a Serb living in the U.S. and I agree with your statement about ADHD testing. Probably half of the school age kids in the US are on drugs. They are numbing and drugging them just because they are perceived as overly active. It has nothing to do with their ability to learn. Most of these kids are very intelligent and fast learners. The school wants robots sitting at the desks! I'm really considering moving to Serbia at some point. Love your videos. Keep posting them! Edited: please do a video on how your kids are adjusting to new life!!!! We have younger kids as well!

Welcome to Balkan! The one of the rarest places with common sense.

Welcome to Serbia!! Another ex pat here. Moved to Serbia back in July. Feels great. Good luck. If you need any help feel, free to get in touch. All the best.

Glad you doing you! Glad I clued in way back lol. I soon leave this place too!

Regarding your like for Serbia: I'm so happy you found a place you like. You might have a past life connection to there. Or even an ancestor who lived there. I remember how much I liked living in Nashville,, and decades later, I did genealogical research and found an ancestor who lived there. I know all this is woo woo. And it may not be that at all. It may just be that you have an inner affinity to Serbia. Best of luck!

Good luck to you and yours young lady! You're more than wellcome!

We made the exact same move recently… From TO to NS. However, both my husband and I are Serbian. Our children were born in Canada, their Serbian is not great, especially the younger one. It’s important to note that if you come here with money, you earned in Canada, you can have a nice life here. Generally, there are many people who struggle here, financially, and with that come other challenges. The way I see it - there are pros and cons to both countries. It is way easier to earn a good living in Canada. The air is much cleaner in Canada. Garbage everywhere in Serbia is annoying, to say the least. Huge lack of a good variety of authentic restaurants…. School in Serbia is unnecessarily difficult. Our kids started in private school, but the older one wanted to continue his education in the public system, once it was time for high school (gimnazija). Very difficult. 16 subjects, with very high expectations. Definitely no fakeness here… and people aren’t easily fooled here. Socially there is always a lot going on! Travel is amazing, because you can drive to many countries or hop on a short flight. But you need money for all that. Food was much cheaper here a year ago but has gone up significantly in the last year. I would even say a 100% increase. There are ofc many differences. Many pros and cons. And different people have different experiences. One thing for sure, is that the general public here doesn’t blindly trust the government, and that is always a good thing! Good luck to everyone who decided to leave their lives behind and start a new chapter somewhere else!

Ohhhh You making me so homesick 🥺😭Can’t wait to visit my homeland hopefully this year 👏🤩 You guys have a fun 🎉

Can relate to some of your videos. We Moved here from Canada as well didn't like how things were unfolding there. Appreciate your videos. Good to know we are not alone here.

I am an immigrant in Canada...I did not come to this beautiful country to make money, I came here for a better and safer life......now I feel , Canada, in spite of being a beautiful country is not for me. It's so so so difficult for any non-white immigrants to be part of the mainstream society....Canada is not the only country I moved in, I lived in several different countries before moving to Canada....now I am just waiting to move back to a "thrid world" country where I can make friends, talk to people, connect with peoole, enjoy a low cost living, won't need to give my entire life just fotr retirement savings and live a simple and minimalist life. Though I have no regrets of living in Canada...it's another experience of my life.

Thank you for saying such a wonderful things about my country! Welcome!

Amazing story! ❤

Welcome home sister!

I'm similar to you. Born and raised in Oz. Australia never felt like home. Parents come from former Yugo, Serbia is not one of them though. Went to Serbia re 8 yrs ago and straight away it felt like home. 1st trip there, met my wife. Now moving to Serbia and never ever returning to Oz. It has been 3.5 yrs in the making and I'll get there. The only thing I will say about Serbia is the äir" feels heavy there. Once you get out of the airport, it feels "heavy"....whether it is cos of all the previous wars and blood spilled, no idea, though one quickly adapts and feels normal. And watch out for the scam taxi drivers yet you quickly learn how to figure them out.

Wow, lady! Right on the money. I was born here but I have Canadian citizenship and have lived there untill 2007. If you are ever coming by Vrnjačka banja, do let me know. We have other Canadians here too.

This was such a great video. Looking forward to watch fingers more. @JustSlim visits Serbia often. Loving both of your channels.

Just to let you know ,your kids will not have problems learning the Serbian language and getting an education in Serbia. I took my son to live in Serbia and he didn't know a word of Serbian, but learned the language and got educated.

Listening to you speak , as well as observing your body language , reminds me of my favourite , long lost , younger version of my aunt ! I was born in Novi Sad , living not far from main Post Office and , I like your choice of place to live . I now live in Australia (43 years! ) and miss my town and my Vojvodina.....I'm so glad you understood and accepted all good , or otherwise , of my country , and all that my birth place have to offer ! God bless !!

Just found this video and your channel, love it! I am from the US and feel the same way and looking at other options to get out and Serbia is one of my top five places to move to!

Welcome to Serbia! You are lovely! I hope you have wonderful time here! Best of wishes! 💗🍀🌷

I understand you, Canada is not the Canada i grew up into... I am in the process of freeing myself, to Dubai or Philippines...

Wonderful! I wish you all the best! I hope you'll learn the language soon! I have been living abroad, It brings your reationships to another level enriching you. 🍀

Welcome, we are glad to have you. No country is perfect, but for the most part people here still have that deep human connection. And you will see it as you make new friends.

The food is so varied here that it's almost impossible not to find something you won't like

Hey Nicole! Thank you for sharing your experience, please make more videos about Serbia ❤I am considering moving there as well, so it is very educational. Cheers!

You will love it. You will enjoy it. One thing I can tell you…. You are not going to spend 15+ hours in hospital like here in Canada. I hope I will get back to Serbia soon 🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇦🙏

Welcome to Serbia. Welcome to the land of Orthodox Christianity. Yes, sometimes we know to be too direct and straight forward. We say what's on our mind, without hesitation, no fake smiles and bullshit. Whoever loves family, friendship, slow and fun life without too much money is in the right place. But only smoking and slow administration can be quite a problem. But nothing unsolvable :)

Good luck with your new life mate. Be sure to take a short trip down to Greece😎

Serbia is a like a breath of fresh air if your coming from the U.S. can't wait to visit again.

My boyfriend is Serbian 👫🏻 Serbia will be our future home.. 🏡 The language sounds cute and we have many common words.. I wish you good luck 🍀 Much love to Serbia 💐

You are a very sane human being Happy for you God Bless you ❤️❤️❤️

I recently moved from Canada to Czechia. I also have similar opinions to you about Canada and the direction it is going in, hence why I decided to take the plunge and make the move.

Im sorry to hear that. I always dreamed of going to Canada, at least for a decade or so. Experiencing different culture while working.

I am glad that you have found your happiness here. I wish you all best in your new life and welcome to our country. We like to have new friends from foreign countries. Update about racism: There is not much people from other races in Serbia, but example. My friend is black man with origin from Ghana. Since, black people are rare in Serbia, he was interesting to everyone and many people wanted to be friends with him. We are strong anti-fascist and anti-racist society. We don't accept that.

I really understand you!

Welcome to Serbia...wish you and the kids all the best...!!!

Welcome to Serbia. I hope you'll have a nice stay.

Serbia is so beautiful and incredible that we who have lived here all our lives discover something every day that amazes us and warms our hearts. Welcome and God help you.

I lived in Novi Sad for a year total. My husband is from there, and we live in Canada. I completely understand why you moved there. We wish we could live there too. We are stuck here in Canada and sometimes I think it would be a better life there ironically.

Welcome and good luck.I hope you will fir up very well in our community.Language is not so big problem becouse allmost everybody here have basic knowledge of English.But if you are here to stay you should learn Serbian for sure becouse it is very important to be fully recognised as a full part of a community.Anyway,good luck👍

Wellcome. I'm glad only best people come to live in Serbia. You have good, honest heart and soul and will fit great with Serbians.

As a serbian i got mad respect for u

Good luck you will not regret it

Wow so sweet and kind from you

Ironically, I emigrated from former Yugoslavia, during 90-s Civil War, but I want to go back.... agree with all you are talking about, although, a was, and still I am greatfull to my new country for accepting me and providing me with resources to start from scratch

Welcome!!!

Welcome here :)

Lady, you're telling the truth ! And this is a courageous fact !!!!!!! It is not easy for many people to tell the truth About their country and that is why things never change ! But if many people did what you're doing,maybe ,things could change or improve !!!!!!! Thanks you, you're really open- minded!

I’m actually planning to do the same thing, I’ll probably be moving end of this year or start of next year, I get the economy is not as good as here in the West but money isn’t everything

every civilized person is welcome here

You did like thousands others and more will do it ✌️

Wellcome!

Welcome to Serbia ❤️ we come here after 20 years in USA. Best destination ever kids love it

Its not just Canada

Welcome , beautiful lady !

As a Serbian - thank you:)

moving in February. See you soon!

Welcome :)

I might move to austria .Idont like canada anymore you are 100% right about canada . You made the best decision ever to move to Eastern Europe

How did you choose Serbia instead of some other smaller country?

this is interesting to me. i will probably retire in serbia because it makes money sense. but it is cool to me to see someone do not for economic reasons that is very interesting to me. are you in belgrade? can't wait to watch at the edge of my seat

Love this!! Are you in Belgrade?

One thing i noticed about our two countries is that here in Serbia we don't throw around term "friend" like it's nothing. It implies that if we call you at 3 am and say "I need you" you will come without a question and it's not offensive to not call somebody "your friend" even if you hang out with them often. Edit: P.S. sry for bad english

Dobrodošla u Srbiju sestro! ☺️
