My expat journey
Quatre Bornes, Plaines Wilhems, Mauritius
Sundbybergs Kommun, Stockholm, Sweden
Im on leave from work as cfo/ vice president at a consultant company due to illness ( a massive stroke which left me partly paralyzed & wheelchair bound. Unsure if ill ever work again & in 10 years ill retire due to age & will get a decent pension (by swedish standards). Maybe ill try to get early retirement due to disability. If so, ill relocate to Mauritius much earlier than in 10 years. If i fulfil my dream & relocate to Mauritius i want to have many years to spend there. Sweden used to be a good country except for the climate, but isnt any longer due to a mad government, so i need to flee Sweden. The sooner the better
Cfo/ vice president at a consultant company. Background in economics
The climate, friendly people, stunning nature. Very civilized country with good infrastructure & safe country. My dream is to relocate to Mauritius. Been there twice. Once before stroke in 2010 on honeymoon 2019 post stroke so i know what to expect & it should work in my condition. Will move there with a younger companion whos not my traditional girlfriend, but a very good & reliable friend.
I have some problems sorting out what properties you can buy as a foreigner. Seems to be lots of different projects. The only negative i can think about is left traffic which is a minor problem since i dont plan to drive & im sure my companion can handle it. We have right traffic in Sweden so were just not used to it.
