I spent some time in puerto La Cruz and enjoyed it. it is right on the Carribean sea and Mochima national park is close by which provides spectacular watersport opportunities. The housing is expensive but if you go with company provided housing - you can get a very nice apartment/house. I would recommend an apartment for security reasons. The crime is just as in the rest of Venezuela - carjackings, etc. The traffic can be bad and the city could be cleaner. Overall, a very nice place to spend some time in.

Dear Macy,
I hope I can assist you with your questions regarding health insurance and financial services.

Let me first introduce myself. My name is Kai Poepplau and I myself have been an expatriate for the last 6 years. I`m German but have lived in the US since 1996 and just recently moved to Shanghai. Because of my background and my current situation I fully understand the importance of adequate health insurance and financial services for people living overseas. Therefore I`m aware of how important this issue is for everybody who considers taking an assignment overseas. I personally work for GBG/Tiecare international, an American company that provides insurance and financial services exclusively for expatriates(regardless of nationality). I`m sure that you have been approached before and that it all sounds the same, but it is no coincidence that we have been in the business for more than 2 decades and that we can proudly say that we have a 60% market share of all US schools overseas and thousands of corporate clients worldwide. In Shanghai for example we provide our service to the staff of the Shanghai American School, Concordia School, Changning International School, Yew Chung International School, Hewitt associates, GE china, as well as numerous individual clients. We believe that in order to attract qualified employees an employer must be able to provide excellent coverage and benefits at a competitive price. Or if the company does not provide coverage you should be at least aware of what options are out there. Since we are the only company that has local offices worldwide, we are able to claim that we have more experience than anybody else and that our customer service is only a call away. If you would like some further information in regards of what we do, who we are, and what our coverage consists of please let me know so I can provide you with the appropriate material. Since comparison should be in your interest I hope to get the chance to compare our products and services with your existing coverage. I`m looking forward to hear from you, until then my best regards.

Sincerely Yours

Kai Poepplau
