I used to live near to Brighton in West Sussex. When I first heard the idea of moving to North Cyprus I wasn’t sure about it until we came on holiday here and stayed at the Rocks Hotel in Kyrenia and the Artemis Hotel in the Karpaz. I found out that I can go swimming every day and that I can bring my dog Murphy to Cyprus and I was so excited.

When we first got to the house and settled in, which didn’t take long, it was like a brand new home being able to wake up with the mountains behind us and the sea infront. When I saw that I knew this is my new home.

When it got to Christmas time I had made lots of new friends from my school ESK before it had even opened. I wake up in the mornings actually excited aout going to school. For Christmas we went to the Malpas Hotel with my friends from school and their parents, it was so fun to go swimming on Christmas Day.

In the summertime I found lots to do. I went swimming on the beaches and did watersports but my highlight of the summer are the boat trips going from Kyrenia Harbour to other beaches and when the boat stops you can jump off into the clear sandy sea. But there’s much more to do than just swim, you can go horse riding at the Catalkoy riding club, paragliding off the beautiful castles built on the mountains and there is a new bowling centre which is amazing.

This is why I love Kuzey Kibris.
