Hi I'm Michael now living and working in Sri lanka

@Julien


Hello everybody,  My name is Tony, my wife (the boss) is Olga, and my daughter (the real boss) is Sasha. We will be moving to Sri Lanka mid to late January (23).


We love to SCUBA (I am an Instructor and my wife is a Divemaster), freedive and travel.


We are coming to Sri Lanka for the warmth, swimming / diving and relaxation.


I will look for some work once we are settled in, Electrician, ROV Pilot/tech and dive instructor.


As we are complete Sri Lanka newbies, we would welcome any advice.


We look forward to hearing back from you.

Beautiful country, sweet people, troubled governance. But of course you know that.

Bring battery operated lighting, ideally solar, and fans if you can find such. Also mosquito nets, (I found them difficult to locate last year) dengue is rampant, and I have yet to see a house with screens. My wife just spent a week in the hospital, (days in ICU)  with dengue.

Hi Tony, we live in the Hill Country in Sri Oanka, we are English... there is very little dengue up in the hills, and we have very few mosquitos. Sri Lanka has its troubles, but the people are welcoming. If you want a chance to acclimatise a little, then do contact us  we would be happy to help. Cheers, Sally and Jerry
