What do I need to know before moving to Woburn?

Answer this Question

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

"Before moving to Woburn, expats should know that the official language is English, but many locals also speak Grenadian Creole. The currency used in Grenada is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, although US dollars are also widely accepted. The cost of living in Grenada is relatively high compared to other Caribbean countries, so it's important to budget accordingly. Expats should be aware that Grenada has a tropical climate, with a wet season from June to December and a dry season from January to May. It's also important to note that Grenada is located in a hurricane-prone region, with the hurricane season typically running from June to November. Healthcare facilities in Grenada are limited, especially in rural areas like Woburn. Expats are advised to have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation, as serious medical conditions may require treatment overseas. Grenada is generally a safe country, but expats should still take standard precautions to protect themselves and their property. This includes being aware of your surroundings, not displaying signs of wealth, and locking doors and windows. Expats moving to Woburn should also be aware that public transportation is limited and unreliable. Therefore, having a private vehicle can be very beneficial. Driving is on the left-hand side of the road in Grenada, and an international driving permit is required. Finally, expats should know that Grenada has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle. The culture is friendly and welcoming, with a strong emphasis on community and family. However, it can take time to adjust to the slower pace of life, especially for those used to a fast-paced urban environment," explained one expat living in Woburn, Grenada.
