Single Mother of 4 Moved from Texas
by: franziska

Hey Candace,

I'm a single Mother of 4 kids (6, 6, 10, 12) who also moved here from the US. I am Swiss and was born and raised in Switzerland but lived in the US for 16 years. I am an IT consultant and work from home, trvaeling to speak at conferences etc about 5 times a year.

This is the part where we could have an 8 hour conversation about why to move here, how, what to consider, why not etc etc.... in short, Ken is right and Anguilla (and any place else) is what you make it.

If you actually do want to talk, shoot me an email at francie at visitusinanguilla dot com
Good luck and above all HAVE FUN!

That helps!
by: Candice

Thank you Dad and Nori,

Those posts help a lot. As we are narrowing it down to Anguilla or St. kitts/Nevis. I actually have a good friend from college who grew up on St. Martin.

Do you know if Homeschooling is legal on Anguilla? I heard it was not on several islands.

Again, thank you for your time and valuable information.

Cheers,
Candice

Living In Anguilla
by: Dad Evoy

Candace,

Nori's dad here (AKA "Dad"). I used to teach and practice Emergency Medicine at McGill University in Montreal. Good luck to you as you embark on an exciting journey.

The question you ask is complex, but the answer is simple. Anguilla is what you make of it. Make friends of everyone, locals and ex-pats.

Your young kids will do that just naturally. There are two good private schools in Sint Maarten. Yuki took the school boat every day. But there's also at least two good schools in Anguilla, Omolulu and Central Baptist (perhaps someone else will read this and fill in details).

Things to do? No opera. Library's on the Web (there is a small one on the island). But sailing, tennis, cricket and loads of other stuff to do for the children.

Right now, you're in luck with accommodations. As long as you don't want to be on the sea, there are many good-sized accommodations for rent. Negotiate, it's a renter's/buyer's market. Classifieds in the Anguillian will turn you onto some very reasonable places. If you're looking higher-end, follow Nori's advice about contacting Jackie.

Bottom line? Family life in Anguilla is wonderful. Enjoy.

All the best,
Dad
