So great to find a forum that can potentially be so much help, thank you!!
So I myself have been to nassau (atlantis) on vaca for 3 years now. yet my wife and her family have been going for almost 14 years, have made alot of friends and great relationships on the island. Along with my wife finding some great contacts with some politicians in Nassau as well. I just got back from our years visit and before we had talked about moving but I we are ready to actually move.
We are young with no kids (I'm 28 shes 34) living in northern va where we have grown to hate the weather and the sicknesses that come along with the constant weather changes. She has been working for an international security, and i have been doing automotive jobs since I was 16. both have good schooling and education.
I'm doing as much research as I can but was hoping to meet some expats that have moved to Nassau or to any of the surrounding islands and just had a few questions.
- Was it difficult finding a suitable living situation?
- What areas are safe? expat friendly
- Did you find a job before moving or did you visit and find one while there?
- Was it hard as an expat to find a job, and where are the best place to look? the internet has been sparse for help.
I've applied to a few positions at the Baha Mar hotel and casino which hopefully actually open this year. but just wanted some other job advice's.
These are questions i can think of that I haven't really found a good answer to. most videos and blogs talk about all the awesome stuff about moving but i want some of the nitty gritty. any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Chris
