Is Romania fairly easy to live & work in for a foreigner?

14 years ago

Hello all, I'm originally from Europe & grew up in America. I've been searching for a different Country to call home before I get too old. I somehow grew very unhappy in America and parts of Europe has turned unkind as well, I feel. It seems also Canada and Australia are also slowly turning into another US as well. However, everyone I've ever met from Romania made me feel human again.

Is Romania possibly one of the few countries left where it is generally easy for an obvious foreigner to live and work in (& without all the political red-tape hassles as the rest of the modern world now)? I'm just a regular God-fearing middle-class guy whose been trying to find life's joys somewhere in the world. Also, I'm searching for a country suitable to eventually start a family in where my children will be left alone (of unprovoked trouble), and in such a place as to eventually have a future (a viable economy). I may not have a ton of money to move with but I'm very ambitious, adventurist, down-to-earth & seeking similar friends. For a living I do Air Conditioning (design/build), heating, electrical, some construction, office administraition & few other related services and I'm always willing to learn new things as required including a new language. I also love the mountains & skiing. Any comments from anyone is GREATLY appreciated as I'm temporarily situated in a Caribbean nation with work-permit issues at the moment (I'm unable to work legally here). I really need to make other plans quickly.
