    Big place, eastern Europe. Which countries?

    Ukraine might be one to avoid for now.

    Yes , make sure you have some money
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    I understand that Chernobyl is very peaceful if you're looking to escape the rat race.

    Before you buy a place anywhere go and spend more than a couple of weeks there and find out if you really like it!

    Talk to people about things like how often the power goes off, if the water always runs, the temperature all year round.

    Talk about the cost of utilities and petrol make sure you know everything it's very different to own than to holiday!
