2012: Ivan and Mira Lazarov
We moved to Newcastle in 2012. We initially came to study here, but fell in love with the city, got married here and decided to make Newcastle our home. Settling in Newcastle was easy and we now have friends from all over the city.
It’s a great place to live. There is always a range of events and activities to be involved in, and we always find something new to do and see. Whenever we have a chance, we like to visit the areas around Newcastle and the coast, taking in all the beautiful scenery and enjoying the lovely places to relax. Our favourite place is Ouseburn, where the new and modern thrives on the industrial heritage of the region.
While we haven’t lived in Newcastle for very long, we have seen the city change in many ways. We are proud to live in a city that is evolving, while staying true to its identity and character.
