This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Hello Shawn V,


Welcome to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ 😀


You have a better chance of finding a nanny by posting an advert in the Job offers in Chile where there is a dedicated category for babysitters.


All the best,


Cheryl

Hello forum members,

My name is Ellen Heijman, married for almost 40 years with René. We are Dutch and at the moment living in Belgium. We lived in Chile from 2009 until medio 2011. To my sorrow we had to leave, live was getting to expensive for us. But now we are consideriing to return to Chile because we are retired and no longer dependent on paid work. Of course there is a lot of investigation to about the actual situation. How is the cost of living, how about health insurance, the rental market etc. When we left we had a ¨Certificado de permensia definitiva¨ but those have expired. I am very happy excited about this forum and the accepptance on this. If I have any questions I will submit them for you. For now un coordial saludo, Ellen

@Soersje Hi, I live in the south of Chile. Your names sounded familiar...so I checked in with someone here. Seems we may have (if so) a mutual friend, a lady from Peru with Scottish/UK husband. Anyways things aren't as affordable here as from the 2010 years, Chile has done some backsliding due to political struggles/increased crime in the city/other things etc.


However I would say compared to similar issues around the world it is still a very good place to be.


Here in the south a bit of of investment took place in some spots; still loads of clean clear water, good air, forests, all the natural beauty...general safety that attracted most of us south in the first place.


So welcome to this forum (I just signed up also)... and I can help try to answer some questions for you if you like. Cheers

Ps.  I didn't put those people's names purposely for their privacy.

@caramavida

Thank you for your answer. Maybe you can ask the people you mentioned if they are oké that you give me their names, I'm curious who they are.😀

caramavida

Yes sure, of course... I started by asking them if they knew you. :) So I thought that might be enough information...anyways it was a long time ago... not trying to make a guessing game... just as a conversation opener. I sent you a DM with their names. Cheers
