Kiwi and Aussie families in Split

Hi there Helen!

are you moving from Australia?
I have lived in Split for over a year and I also have a 28 month old daughter. I have several friends (expats) I have met through my class that I attend to learn croatian.
send me an email and we can talk more if you would like. I also have a blog and you can see a bit more of what split is like.

when will you move to Split?

Hi Helen,

there are a few foreigners in Split and surrounding islands, but the community is quite small.  I am in the process of putting together a website with more practical information - total-croatia.com is live at the moment, but will be finished in November, but there are a couple of entries which would interest you from some Americans who lived in Split for a year.

Send me an email and I will update you with more info about moving here as it is uploaded to the site.

Cheers Paul

Hi Helen, welcome to Expat.com
You might want to check out the Network of expats in Croatia; there are some living in Split who could extend infos to you.
And did you know that we have a Croatia Classifieds section -> Accommodation where you could check the current listings?

Welcome to you too of course, Paul!

Hi everyone

thanks for your replies it's appreciated. My huband is flying out there tomorrow for three days to have a look around. Unfortunately we are not having much luck with accomodation, seems that it's difficult to find a house in Split or near by.  And we can't seem to find any expat friendly or english speaking kindergartens/play groups...   We are finding everyone is friendly and welcoming though!

Cheers
Helen
