Hello all on the Bitcoin Forum!

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Paul, I am a photographer, originally from the UK, now living in Switzerland. I'm fairly new to the world of Bitcoin and still on a steep learning curve. I'm looking forward to learning more about Crypto-currency here - this forum looks like a great resource!

Best regards,

Paul.

This forum is probably the best source of knowledge about all things Bitcoin. I am also from the UK  Smiley. What's it like in Switzerland and why did you move there from the UK, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Switzerland is a very beautiful country as you probably know. Very clean and very organised! I live in central Switzerland in a town called Luzern, which is the most visited city in Switzerland. Lot's of tourists. I have been here for just over 13 years now and my original motivation for moving was my girlfriend at the time, who is now my wife.  Smiley

Ah cool, glad to hear you're still together. Most people don't last that long lol. And yes, it does look a beautiful country, although I've never been but would love to visit sometime. I can assure you if my Bitcoin holdings tenfold then I will be over there as soon as possible  Cheesy.

Yep, relationships seem to last 5 minutes these days! It's pretty easy to get here. EasyJet flies out of Manchester and Luton to Zurich and Basel and if the ticket is booked early enough, it can work out less than a UK intercity rail ticket! Lodgings can be reasonable too. Don't know if you know the short letting web site Airbnb.com but it is possible to rent a whole apartment here for the price of a hotel room in town. Food and drink prices are on par with London I would say. 10 Swiss Francs will buy you a pint!

If you fly out on a Sunday till' the following Sunday, around £90 all in. The more in advance you book the cheaper it will be.
