I'm going to Guadeloupe for a couple of weeks in February on holiday. I'm interested in moving to Guadeloupe when retired, and I will try to experience the islands regarding overall lifestyle and in particular conditions on the real estate market.

Hi,
My name is Jessi. I’m an American living in Reunion Island with my husband and two small boys. I’ve been in Reunion for five years and before that I lived in Madagascar and Mayotte.
We will be moving to Guadeloupe this July/August and I’m looking for job opportunities. At the moment I teach English at an English center, do Bookkeeping for clients in the States and I teach workshops on how to create new things/art/decorations/jewelry out of items people normally put in the trash. In the past I worked in administrative roles, worked at a hotel, various clothing and art stores and even managed volunteers in a program in Madagascar. I’m open to any and all opportunities.
Also, we are very excited about our new adventure in Guadeloupe as a family. My children speak both English and French and will be 5 and 3 years old upon the time we arrive. We only know two families at the moment, but are hoping to make connections with more. Please let me know of things we must do with the kids, your favorite place to buy produce, favorite beach, any Emaus (second hand) type stores, favorite restaurants, anything you care to share.
Thanks so much.
Bonne année,
Jessi

Hi, Guadeloupe is awesome! We moved from the US to Deshaies. The real estate market is difficult…expensive and not a lot for sale due to inheritance laws that often have property owned by numerous heirs who can’t agree on what to do with the property, the fact that families stay on the same property for generations so they are never for sale and often when expats sell, they sell to people they know without putting the property on the market. But, you can still find great homes if you look often or you can find land and build. Quality of life is fantastic and the food is amazing. People are nice and so many outdoor activities.,

Welcome jessicornett138 and congratulation for your installation in Guadeloupe 

You can find a lot of informations on Living in Guadeloupe guide and you can create your own job ad on Jobs in Guadeloupe page.

I wish you all the best
