Hey all,
I am moving to Devon in August to teach. Job is lined up, Visa is lined up... now I need to focus on the little details and could use any and all tips and hints you people have!
I am struggling to find a place to live... it seems that the estate agencies I've contacted don't reply and the private ads I've contacted are scams! I just want a furnished place, preferably near my new school or the train station in the town!
What other things do I need to know?
What is the cost of living like in Devon (groceries, etc.)? What about utility costs? It seems that most of the flats I've seen advertised do not include much other than water.
I also need to figure out cell phone, banking, insurance, etc, etc, etc.
I am starting to freak out as I leave in 6 weeks and it seems like I have NOTHING done! I don't even know where to start!
Thanks in advance
Andi
