Complete beginner - advice on starting and buying recommendations

Hello everyone (whoever is subbed to this community)! Ive been wanting to get into inline skating for a while now, but just dont have the knowledge of where to start.

Im in Europe, specifically Cyprus (so first-hand buying options are limited) so if I would bite the bullet and order skates online to learn it would be without trying them on first. I do plan on moving to the Netherlands where I know theres an awesome skating shop in Amsterdam, but that could be at any time this month or year (depends on when I find a job).

Up to now I bought some ultra cheap skates on black friday a couple years ago (No Fears I believe they were), which after the second day of practicing in the park had the frame get loose (and it wasnt designed to be able to tighten or fix). That was super disappointing because I was really excited to get into this hobby.

Anyways, what are your thoughts? Should I see what options I have for getting into it while I am still here, or wait until I get to a more "civilised" part of the world where there are actually opportunities to do stuff? xD

Also, if you recommend I get into it right away, how should I pick as good a skate as possible without actually trying it on first?

Thanks in advance!
