ExpatWoman is a privately owned site, launched in 2000 as a free service for women moving to, and living in region. We are proud to have helped tens of thousands of families relocate and happily settle into a new life here. The site offers comprehensive city profiles, a monthly updated online magazine with daily updated news as comes into us, and a variety of additional services including free Classified Ads, job listings, recipes, property listings and a very busy events schedule offering some 500+ activities per annum across the region.

Joining this site, your email address will be added to the mailing list(s) of your choice, and we will keep you updated with site news and activities. We are careful regarding the numbers of posts sent out to readers, and we don’t sell our mailing list.

ExpatWoman hosts several forum (fora!) as a service for readers to exchange advice with others interested in life here. Whether you’re looking for the opinions on schools or housing, or whether to bring your fridge… will your daughter be able to continue with dance lessons ?… However big or small the query, thousands of people look at these boards over the course of a month and somebody will be happy to help you.

To borrow a phrase from the Google board administration, our moderator has something of an ‘itchy trigger finger’.  For many years now we have set the tone of the board where we want it to be and will remove threads just because we don’t like them. We appreciate that can be irritating, but the boards have run successfully for a long time and we like them the way they are.

 

More obvious rules for contributing to the board include not posting:

Specifically, we exclude personal messaging and we have to be careful about links to articles from other media.

 

* social groups can be promoted elsewhere on the site. Contact moderator@expatwoman.com.

 

** at the last count, 15 people were involved in providing these services and having been offered goodwill at the end of the month, every single one of them declined in favour of a pay cheque. Go figure…. Without our sponsors there would be no site. It does seem a tad cheeky to try to sneak in through the back door.

Occasionally an individual will seem determined to post in contravention of the rules of the board. In such circumstances, we will cancel site membership, their address will be removed from the mailing list and they will no longer have access to post. We also reserve the right to pass on registration information to local authorities in the case of legal action.

 

That’s all the business covered! Now please, go and enjoy the site.
