In one clip, shared on The Mann’s account, she and her partner said their plan A was to stay in .
Describing her life pre-Cyprus, she said it was a comfortable life and they could go on one to two a year.
But she said the limited hot and ‘overworked’ culture was something they wanted to ditch.
They then decided they wanted more and headed to the sunny island to live out their dream.
Now, they get hot weather all year round and no longer need to go on holiday abroad as there’s so much to do on the island.
She said they also had a better quality of life out there which was more slow-paced.
The mum was also happy to say that her two children, who are in primary school, are now going to a local Greek school and have become bilingual.
The mum revealed that they rent out properties in the UK to make income and she also works as a wedding planner in Cyprus.
She revealed you need to earn £36,000 a year to live in Cyprus and you can work in the country if you are self-employed.
The family have gone on to buy a house there to make it their forever home, and she says are super cheap too.
For electricity, they spend around £87 a month, £17 on water, £13 on gas and £100 on in a single year.
Before buying their own property, she said rent for a two-bed villa with a pool was around £1,300 a month.
The mum said that their ‘plan B’ for life has been going very well for them, and they don’t see themselves heading back to the UK anytime soon.
She said: “It’s such a massive decision to leave your ‘normal’, weighing up all the options, writing down lists of pros and cons (we actually did this).
“But we didn’t want to live with any regrets and we always knew that the UK isn’t going anywhere. If it didn’t work out, at least we tried! Luckily it has!”
