Hi, my name is Josefa and I am from Spain. I am currently working for the EU in Kosovo and am considering moving to Lybia for work reasons with my daughter who will be five in May.
I would like to have some information as to what the infrastructure in reference to health (hospitals available) and education are in Lybia.
I have done some research on internet yet would like to have a first hand "honest and realistic" opinions from people who are living there in regards to the safety of moving there with my 5 year old child.
What options exist as to accommodation and which English speaking schools are the best. Also is the daily commuting from house-school-work safe, or are there limitations which one would need to consider?
I hope my questions do not sound too naive , but I am looking to get an idea of what daily life would be like.
Rgds,

Thank you for the advice. Rgds, Josefa
The atmosphere in Tripoli is quite friendly. Though rude kids driving around town with guns hidden in their cars. Westerners are trickling back into the country. A slight improvement in security, just avoid night outs. I m an English teacher here and there are lots of English schools in Libya now.It's gradually getting better.
