Overview
- Tamer Zeki, 29, moved to his girlfriend’s Lower Austria hometown in April 2025 after failing to land a data analytics role in London.
- A chat at Anna Haselboeck’s family dentist led to openings for both at an expanding health centre.
- Zeki now works as a digital orthodontic technician and Haselboeck is an office manager at the same clinic.
- Living costs are markedly lower than in London, with weekly expenses about 50% less and a three-bed flat around £800 versus roughly £1,300 for a one-bed in the UK capital.
- The pair cite Brexit visa hurdles for moving to the UK, report isolation and a language barrier in the village of about 400 residents, and he plans to extend his Austrian visa.
