“The experience of moving across to Guernsey has been very straightforward and we are so pleased we made the move. We have found the relaxed island lifestyle we desired in our retirement on the island of Guernsey, and we will not tire of watching the stunning sunsets on the west coast sipping a chilled white wine!”
“Living in Guernsey has improved our work/life balance by far. Because everything is on your doorstep or a very short drive away, you can get so much done in a short space of time instead of wasting time in the car. I can walk the dogs, go for swim and do a food shop all before starting on the emails! Being able to walk by the sea really sets you up for the day.”
"I always try to explain the uniqueness of Guernsey to my family and friends back in South Africa and Germany. The best way I could describe it is to imagine you work in a big city like London or Frankfurt. There is the same quality of work experience and mix of colleagues and clients, but the moment you step outside your office, you are transported to a quaint, safe and friendly town. A bustling cobblestone High Street and your home is a maximum of 15-20 minutes away in a serene seaside coastal village with the freshest sea air and the happiest squawking seagulls soaring in the sky."
