Hi I lived in Dublin and before my son was born nearly 4 years ago, everyone told me to get his name on the lists! I didn't as I was clear we wouldn't be there. I would suggest joining another web forum for mums - www.eumom.com/ie/. I found this ... Read More

Sao Paolo - anyone? by Nicola66

I've just put up a topic on the North America site re living in Palm Springs. I'm an expat spouse (UK) now located in the Netherlands for the past 2 years. My partner's company have offered 2 new options for his next career move - Sao Paolo or ...

Moving and working in Ireland by Julien

It seems that Ireland became a great destination if you're looking for a position in your work area. I heard that life is easier than in London (renting a flat is cheaper) and that there are more jobs. Can comebody confirm that? Is it that easy ...

Nicola66
