New Life in Guatemala

13 years ago

Hi everyone,
I'm currently living in the United Kingdom as a male nurse in ICU.

I've been in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend who is Guatemalan for the last 4 years. I've decided that I want to spend the rest of my with her and now planning on relocating early next year. I feel very nervous about making a huge change in my life.

I can almost speak, read and write in fluent Spanish, German and my home language English. How easy is it to get a job as a Nurse out in Guatemala city? We are also looking at buying an apartment. Which zones should we avoid in Guatemala city?

Thanks.
