I would say though that in order to do this you usually need money which means (unless you have a rich family) you need to earn a good wage - this tends to come out of a good school/college education.
Au contraire Niki, since you are now resident in Lemesos, you will no doubt be aware of the various nationalities resident there also.
If you make an effort to associate with them, you will gain a wide experience of what is taking place in the world, 'from the horses mouth' as it were.
Relying on what we read in the newspapers and are served up through other media sources, is a certain route to a blind alley.
Give it a shot, you may be surprised.
Best Wishes in what I think is your 'New Home' ?.
