Hello,

I am currently living in California, USA, looking to move to Zanzibar.
I lived in South Africa for 30 years, US for 20. On a recent visit to Zanzibar, I started looking into options to work and possibly retire there. Buying or renting a small hotel would be prefereable, although I am also researching jobs in healthcare as I am a registered nurse.
The practicalities of visas, moving costs and cost of living is of great interest to me, if anyone has any links it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Maggi Rodger
