I ditched ‘miserable' UK for sunny Croatia – bills are 33% less & I rent a posh villa for same price as 2-bed back home
Scott revealed that the gorgeous weather was also a huge factor in his decision to move SUNNY SWITCH I ditched 'miserable' UK for sunny Croatia – bills are 33% less & I rent a posh villa for same price as 2-bed back home A MAN has quit the "miserable" UK for Croatia, and is on a mission to encourage others to do the same. Scott McClure, from Scotland, made the decision to up-sticks and relocate to the Balkans nation six months ago, and has no regrets about his decision. 2 Scott revealed his bills are so much cheaper in Croatia Credit: TIKTOK 2 He said he feels so much safer at night Credit: TIKTOK He revealed that the sunny country is "so much safer" than Britain, claiming that the crime rate is "double" back home. "You feel way safer when walking home at night", he said, in a TikTok video, posted to his account @thecreatoroperator. "Whereas when you're in the UK, you don't know what could happen". The cost of living is another reason why Scott is head over heels for Croatia with his bills costing 33% less than they did in the UK. "You can rent villas like this for the same price as a two bedroom flat in the UK", he beamed, proudly showing off his posh pad. Of course, the baking heat was also a major factor in Scott's move, with the content creator stating that "you're guaranteed 30 degrees plus in the summer. "In the UK, it's miserable all year around." Another of Scott's qualms with his home country is that it is "run terribly." "And it's only going to get worst", he said. He added that people don't treat the country with respect, citing the example of people throwing litter out of their cars. I ditched the UK & bought a house for the same price as a summer holiday "You don't see this in Croatia!", he claimed. Scott's video has likely left many people intrigued as it has gone viral, racking up 30,000 views and hundreds of likes and comments. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on Scott's move abroad. One person said: "Whoa! You had me at the villa rentals! How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. "Great breakdown. I arrive next week and I'm thinking of getting a Croatia digital nomad visa!" A second person said: "It's the best place to live!" A third added: "I've looked at going to Croatia to work. "The authentic living culture is more attractive than the UK."

Vienna chosen to host 70th Eurovision Song Contest
Vienna has been confirmed as the host city for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place in May 2026. Austria's capital was selected by national broadcaster ORF and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) following a competitive bid process. The Grand Final will be staged at the Wiener Stadthalle on Saturday 16 May, with Semi-Finals on Tuesday 12 and Thursday 14 May. This will be the third time Vienna has welcomed Eurovision. The city first hosted in 1967 after Udo Jürgens' victory the year before, and again in 2015 following Conchita Wurst's win. Next year's contest comes after Austria's JJ triumphed in Basel this May with Wasted Love, securing the country's third Eurovision crown. Martin Green, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said Vienna's reputation as "one of the most musical cities in the world" and its central European location made it the ideal choice. He added that the Stadthalle proved to be an "exceptional venue" when it staged the 60th edition. Vienna's mayor Michael Ludwig said the city would ensure events around the contest are accessible to everyone, while Tourism Director Norbert Kettner described Eurovision and Vienna as a "perfect match". Eurovision has delivered significant boosts to recent host cities, with Liverpool, Malmö and Basel all reporting major gains in tourism and international profile.
