Ireland: American family looking at moving to Ireland:
Hi All,
My family and I have been putting much thought into moving to Ireland. We are still in the pocess of deciding on a city or area but we love everything we know about the country.
i have some questions for anyone out there that can answer them for me or point me in the right direction.
I am currently self-employed as a software / web programmer. I could do what i do from anywhere. Is there a limit to the amount of time we could stay there if i am not employed in the counrty?
we are leaning a bit towards Cork as an area to live. What is the work like in the area? How do i go about looking for work there? I am not familiar with how it works.
Also, can we as americans purchase property there ir do we have to be a resident?
if anyone could pass on any information that would be so great. we are looking at moving in the next 1.5 - 2 years.
Thanks in advance!
Iceland: Thinking of moving abroad.:
Hi there.
I have been reading a lot about iceland and the culture and it is very apealing to me.
I currently live in the states and have lived all over them. I currently reside in Boise, Idaho.
I work in the IT field as a self employed programmer. I have several contracts so I may not need to look for work there as i would have an american salary in the states. However, what is the programming market like there? is there a lot of programmers in the community or is this something that would be an easy fit for me there?
i want for my family to experience the culture of the european countries as i think they and myself would gain a lot from living abroad.
Can someone give any other references as to the infrastructure if iceland. By infrastructure I mean broadband connectivity, cellphone television programming, etc.
also what type of power are the homes there built with? would i have to convert my electronics? etc?
thanks for any information or links you could pass on.
p.s. i am very enveous of what i have read of the icelandic culture. i wish the united states could have more of the same type of tight knit community standards.
thanks again.
