5 good reasons for living in Saint Lucia

Hi Jul,

You work too much ... and you get me worried ...

My five top reasons for living in SLU are as follows:

1st reason is my secret.  Exposing it here will not help expat job seekers who make the largest group here. It has to do with qualities of leaders of society and top achievers which those destined to win must discover by themselves, NOT by me revealing it here.

2nd reason is that SLU is free, stable and democratic.  More countries of the world would be better off if they were like ST. LUCIA.
There are more opportunities here than in USA.

3rd reason: SLU is an English-speaking island, language which I speak.

4th reason: island mystique and adventure.

Three sub-reasons:
St. Lucia ranked #11 out of 178 countries a few years back on the Happy Planet Index at www.happyplanetindex.org

St. Lucia ranked #1 at freedom of press among Caribbean nations, and #13 in the world ahead of ... USA and many other countries which claim to be free but in fact are doing a lip service to freedom.  http://www.freedomhouse.org/report/free … 5/st-lucia

SLU is the last country in the Caribbean to introduce VAT in 2012. Yes, this is an advantage.

5th reason: sunny weather year-round.
For four months a year, from Nov. until Feb., when I see on TV what happens to people in the snow, I get a feeling of satisfaction and great personal achievement: I escaped to sunshine.

Hello sweetheart,

Sure I know Julien is the founder & owner of this forum.  He is my friend.  Many people who look for jobs overseas in this forum can learn from him so they could stop chasing wild goose around the world and start their business.

JULIEN IS A SUCCESSFUL EXPAT.  Is success not what people want?
(Oh, my, I forgot: job hunters want jobs, not success).

Julien overworks himself to death ...   It's better to leave expats to ask their questions here and if the question is good, other expat(s) will answer.

Remember: Julien too had reasons to leave Paris and five reasons for living in Mauritius.  Mind you, Paris the beautiful city where most people in Mauritius want to go to ...

@John C.

I assume you must be one of those lucky ones who can go home during the 5 month (182 days, I've counted them) of hurricane/rainy season? It is most certainly not pleasant all year round.  During those 5 months/182 days you are sat indoors for long periods of time with the shutters down, listening to your house getting battered. No electricity for 18 hours.   Waiting for a break so you can go outside and check for damage.  But yes, temperatures are still high so if dripping sweat from every pore while doing nothing is your thing, enjoy!

Hello, please note that this is an old thread. It's been 10 years already since John C last visited the website.

But the rainy season is still the rainy season between 1st June and 30th November.  Despite the hype,  it's not lovely, sunny days all year round was my point.  🌧🌧🌧
