Morne Rouge, Grenada

"Expats moving to Morne Rouge should be aware that the official language is English, but many locals also speak Grenadian Creole. The cost of living is relatively high compared to other Caribbean countries, especially for housing and imported goods. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are also widely accepted. The climate is tropical with a wet and dry season, and it is advisable to prepare for hurricane season which typically runs from June to November. Healthcare facilities are limited and it is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation. Driving is on the left side of the road and a local driving permit is required. Public transportation is available but can be unreliable. The crime rate is relatively low, but petty crime like theft does occur, so it's important to take standard precautions. The cuisine is a blend of African, French, and Indian influences, with local spices and fresh seafood playing a prominent role. The culture is laid back and friendly, with music and festivals playing a big part in local life. Expats should also be aware of local customs and laws, such as restrictions on beachwear outside of beach areas, and the illegality of homosexuality. Lastly, it's important to note that while Grenada is a beautiful island with a lot to offer, it also has a slower pace of life which may require some adjustment for newcomers," wrote one member in Morne Rouge.
