Hi there,
My husband has just been offered a high-level position with Sandals in Castries which he has accepted. He is Polish and I am from London. We both currently live in London and will be moving to St Lucia at the end of February or beginning of March.
Unfortunately neither of us have been to St Lucia, although my mother is Jamacian and I have visited Jamaica a couple of times. I have read a couple of things on expat blogs and forums and have a few questions. Where are the best places to live? We had planned to rent a house in Castries but have heard that it is not suitable for expats, and Rodney Bay or the surrounding areas are much better. Also, are the people friendly? We have read that they can be unfriendly towards Westerners. This would not put us off moving there but we would like a heads up so we know what to expect. I work in childcare in the UK and have experience working in a nursery and as a nanny. Do you think there would be much chance of me finding employment? Sorry for all the questions!
