What do I need to know before moving to Pembroke?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Pembroke, they said...

"Before moving to Pembroke, expats should know that the cost of living is quite high, with housing, groceries, and utilities being more expensive than in many other countries. The official language is English, but Portuguese is also widely spoken due to a large Portuguese community. The currency used is the Bermudian dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar, and US dollars are also widely accepted. Expats should be aware that Bermuda has a subtropical climate, with high humidity and temperatures that can reach up to 30 degrees Celsius in the summer. The island is also prone to hurricanes, particularly between June and November. In terms of transportation, cars are limited to one per household and there are restrictions on car sizes. Many residents use scooters or public transportation, which includes buses and ferries. Bermuda has a high standard of healthcare, but it can be expensive, so it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The education system is based on the British model, with both public and private schools available. Expats should also know that Bermuda has strict customs regulations, particularly regarding the importation of plants, animals, and certain food products. Finally, Bermuda is known for its friendly and welcoming locals, beautiful beaches, and outdoor activities such as golf, sailing, and snorkeling. However, it's important to respect local customs and traditions, including dress codes which tend to be more formal than in other beach destinations," explained one expat living in Pembroke, Bermuda.
