Hi Everyone
My name is Taryn I am 35. Hope you are all well.
My husband Mark and I have made the decision to move to Vanuatu with our two daughters age 14 and 10. We currently live in Johannesburg South Africa and city life is not for us. We would love to move to a place where people matter and where we can feel happy and safe. My kids need to learn some new ideals.
We've been doing some research and have already downloaded courses to start learning Bislama.
Both my husband and I have multiple skills to offer like IT Training, Graphic and Web Design and Marketing, Beekeeping and Project Management. We are also hockey coaches and players with qualifications in umpiring and tech table. I love working with and rehabilitating animals. I also have a fine art background and can teach art. I am able to teach small children and love working with them. I currently coach children between the ages of 3 to 7 at our local club. We're on our hockey and beekeeping association committees and we love to be involved and help out. My hubby and kids love freediving.
I think we could fit in nicely and contribute something to the community in Vanuatu. With our skill sets would we be able to earn a living in Vanuatu?
My oldest daughter is already homeschooled so we are not worried about getting the kids educated.
What we need now is some good advice so we can get started and we need to make some contacts. We'd like to move to Port Vila first and take it from there.
Any information that will help us would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the warm welcome and I look forward to hearing from you all.
Have a great day.

Hi
Thank you very much for making contact with me. I really appreciate it. It is something that I have come to discover that everyone I have spoken to in Vanuatu has been so friendly and helpful. I can not tell you how much we are looking forward to moving there. We have started learning to speak Bislama so I hope I am correct in saying: Mi lavem mo pepol mo ples finis! I will definitely be in touch, is it possible for you to private message me your contact details.
Have a great day!
Warmest regards,
Taryn

My name is Jim Batty. My wife and I have lived in Vanuatu for nearly 25 years on a plantation 10 kms from Port Vila. Most of the property is a sandalwood plantation, but the remaining portion could be more intensively developed to earn $1-2m per year over the next 5 years. The main requirement is to build and promote an effective internet marketing shop. If this is of interest, please contact me.
Cheers
Jim
Dear Jim
