Living in Vanuatu?

  • Living in Vanuatu means beautiful nature, a tropical lifestyle and many tourists and expats. The country is also known for its financial services for residents and foreigners.
  • Expat community: there are many expats. Both retirees and people with families. And it is especially favorable because of the friendly tax system.
  • Safety: it is a very safe country.
  • Be careful: the costs can be quite high and you can feel quite isolated, if you are not used to island life.
  • Health insurance: there is basic health care, but for serious treatment you have to evacuate to another country. So make sure you have your own good health insurance.

Travel in Vanuatu?

  • This island nation consists of 83 different (inhabited) islands, which are clearly formed by volcanic activity. So don't be surprised if a volcano erupts in this volcanically active region. The island nation is sometimes called the happiest country in the world, which is understandable when you walk around the green islands with sunny beaches. Too bad it is so far away and a ticket is quite expensive.

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
