Hello Karen.

I am planning on moving to Paramaribo too. Also traveling with a baby (2years old).

How did it go looking for a school and activities in general?

I hope you are doing well there.

Best regards

Hi Adrian,

We still didn't arrived yet to Suriname, only my husband is there at the moment, but i did visited last week and also looked for kindergarten & homes.
I did found 2 places where it looked nice, clean and good in general, all located in or around the city center. we will be living near the city center, but i do know many people are looking or living in the northern side of the city, and if you will be living there driving to the city center will be at least 15-20 minutes drive because traffic is VERY slow (many bumpers, and roads that are not the best for driving faster then 30 KM per hour)
The ones i found are:
Kangaroo-
And the other one is- wwww.littlemoundsofclay.com


There is a zoo in Paramaribo, but i didn't went there. a place i did visited called Clevia park. it's located in the very northern part of the city, and have kids activities like a train for kids, horse riding, fishing, and every Sunday they have local products & organic vegetables for sale. as well they have food & drinks.
Unfortunately i didn't see too many parks with play grounds around the city that can be nice for an afternoon with your children..

Good luck with the move!
Karen

Dear Karen,

Thank you for the information! It is very useful. Even more, since there is not much online or is in Dutch.

I am sorry if I bomb you with too many questions but... I have many questions and few sources of answers

Regarding housing, do you have any suggestions in terms of real state offices of ways to look for one house? I am planning to do an exploratory visit and want to make sure I make the best of it.

On last question,  regarding pets. Do you know if it is hard t import pets? I have a cat that I am not leaving behind.

Regards,
