Being abroad on holiday is
one thing but living and working abroad can be very different.
When you are on holiday
you are very relaxed and work is usually the last thing on your mind. So
if you are seriously thinking about moving abroad, taking your family with you
and working there, it is worthwhile renting somewhere first, in order to find
out as much as possible about the local area - job opportunities, schools,
transport, expat communities etc. |
