Hello Everyone,
My name is Ian Gray and I am married to Juanita.We are moving to Villach on the 7th November to live.
We have lived for 7 years in Switzerland but it became too expensive for us to live when the exchange rate
changed from 2.4 to 1.4 to the uk pound.We then moved to Spain,built a house but miss the mountains,hiking and wonderful life that can be found around the mountains.,I was a Director of Samsung for many years and have worked and travelled in many countries.We are really looking forward to our move
and look forward to meeting fellow forum members.
Cheers

Ian Gray

Hope it goes well for you as it's a good choice for being near the alps and central to other places. Eric
