Moving to Trinidad

7 years ago
Hi there

I am considering a move to Trinidad with my family (currently based in Europe) and I wondered if I could reach out to the forum for some help?

I apologise, I have a lot of questions!

- What sort of rent should I be budgeting for in the Westmoorings area? Will (up to) 18,000 TTD per month get us something in a gated compound with 2/3 bedrooms, a garden and access to a pool..?

- What would be a sensible monthly budget for utilities (inc. a mobile phone, internet, air con use, etc.)?

- And what about food / petrol / car insurance budgets?

- I'd also be interested to hear how much health insurance costs?

- And then there's the matter of nursery, any thoughts on the cost of say 3 days per week (x 2 kids, aged 4 and 2)?

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers!!
