Hello Everyone
Jade here (SpiderZA).
I am born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa.
We are hopefully moving to Sweden through my Husbands work soon. Not sure if Gutenberg or Jarfalla yet.
I would love someone to bounce questions off until we go over, be warned though....I can ask a ton of questions
Hope everyone has settled in nicely or at least that your plans are going smoothly
Regards
Jade
Jarfalla will be close to the capital, if you are moving first time to the country.
Thank you Raun.
I have looked at the maps so many times although it really means nothing to me since i don't know the country
I was looking at the map this morning and saw that Uppsala (Which has 2 schools that might suit our needs) is workable as a living area should my husband work in Jarfalla? Would you say it is advisable or should we look elsewhere?
Do you know what the rental market is like?
Jade
