Thx, but i perhaps missunderstod you.. i clicked there and didnt find a "living here" guide. When i klicked it i searched for my countryflag to find out experiences of others from Finland and that was just sad reading from 4years ago..

And if you meant the tab that says Guide i have been searching thruog that one too and...

sry i had to be more thoroughly.

Thx a lot for this.

ooopss!Misguided you. There's a pdf version on the french forum. If you need some help with translating the guide PM me.

Hi Christine and Anne,

I would suggest that you come and visit the island first( if u can afford it of course@). Other people's view will definitely differ a lot from what you see on the island.

I moved here to settle down three years back and more than ready to move back!! People are so different here, attitudes, no sense of personal space( which is important for me), quite (moderated)..... A lot more to say. Trying to look at the good sides the thing me and my family see wonderful are the beach, the weather, up the mountains: where nobody gets into your business, the lettuces, and sweet potatoes!

As for a place that you are looking for, it depends on whether you want to rent or buy. I can recommend BIP prestige Agent company for you to get a good affordable renting house in Grand Baie which is the north of the island.

Schools for expats are quite expensive too. Public schools are free but still it will depend on you.

For jobs, you cn try applying to some companies but myjob.mu might be a good site~

Remember what sites tell you is not always the reality, expecially for Mauritius( as they are rarely updated)!!!What glitters is not always gold!

And on your profile you said you are FROM Mauritius - talk about an oxymoron

Please feel free to inbox me for more direct answers to your questions. We love the island and I can give you many reasons why! I will be happy to assist with any enquiries you have.

Mmm yes I am also puzzled by Disha's profile....from Mauritius to Thailand it says on the little flag?
I disagree with a lot of what Disha says anyway....pretty rude about the place if you ask me. Dirty,disrespectful etc??
Oh dear, at least the lettuce is nice........

My partner (living in Mauritius 5 years now) is a Swedish-Speaking Fin originally from Helsinki, Finland. She is not a member on this forum but, should you require any honest advice, just send me a message and i'll message you her email address. We are not providers of any services so we won't be selling you anything

Hi Christian and Anne,

Welcome to Expat.com!

you may have a look at the "life in Mauritius" guide. Do not hesitate to ask specific questions on the Mauritius forum. Thank you.

Best of luck,
Christine
