We've just had a work assignment be turned down due to cost of living expense, sadly. We were hoping to return to California for 1-2 years but the COL appears to be 35% more than it is here in the Netherlands and approx 30% more than UK. However, ... Read More

I am new to this site. I am an expat wife living in Dublin. We move about every year or year and a half to another country. I just found out yesterday (after being told that we were moving in January) that we will be here another year. The problem ...
By the way Hillary are you still in Dublin? I'm now off to California for 3 months from 1 October, which has just knocked up the work I did on getting a place for my son at the International school as they don't think they'll have a place for him ... Read More

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

Hi Trix Not suspicious - If anyone asked me for a view of living in London or UK I'd been honest (i love it, miss it, but there are things not so good......) , so I would assume you'd be the same! Many thanks for the link - will check it out. If ... Read More

Hi Hillary We've moved on a little - I don't mean literally. We are staying in the Netherlands for the time being. My partner is working in Brazil ad hoc/ commuting which has proven a little demanding on all of us over the past 2 months, but he ... Read More
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 ...
Julien I spent 2 years in Ireland having moved from central London (I lived near Tower Bridge) so imagined it was going to be cheaper. It was unbelievable the additional costs of everything we were shocked. Rental is probably not as high, but if ... Read More

Tom Is it stressful moving home/ country again? Yes, it is every time but in different ways. House moving is one of the most stressful events in anyone's life (research shows this) but its relatively straightforward when you know what you are ... Read More

Hi Hillary I know exactly what you mean - meeting up for natter, moan, coffee but able to feel the other person knows what you are on about. When you moan its not about having someone give you an answer, solve the problem, its just having someone ... Read More
