Hi!
I am a new member and lifetime expat (first move was at three weeks old). I am considering a position in Maputo and Pemba that would be for six months. It is a semi-volunteer position that would give me housing an a monthly stipend for meals and incidentals. As I have never lived in Mozambique before (or even in Africa!) I have no way of judging the adequacy of this stipend and would appreciate your feedback.
Housing, insurance, and business expenses are taken care of. The stipend would be for food and other personal expenses. Is $1,200 a month sufficient? I am used to living on a low budget but want to be sure I'll be able to eat healthy food and, if at all possible, join a gym (it does not need to be fancy).
Thank you for your input!
Stephanie
