Moving to Guadeloupe
Located in the Leeward Islands is the Caribbean island called Guadeloupe. The island stands in the Lesser Antilles and has a area of about 1,628 km2 with a number around 400,000 of inhabitants. The island is considered as an oversea region of France and it is an essential part of France. Guadeloupe encompasses other smaller sized islands such as Marie-Gallante, the Iles des Saintes and La Desirade.
The island known under the name of Guadeloupe is part of the Eurozone and the European Union as well. As a result the currency used currently on the island is the euro. Although the island is an oversea department of France, it is not yet included in the Schengen Area. The prefecture of the region is Basse-Terre and the official language spoken there is French. Nevertheless many of the people living there are able to speak Antillean Creole.
When talking about the Guadeloupe Island, many will fondly remember the literary achievements that island inhabitants portrayed over a long period of time. One of the most well-known such achievement is the poetry that Saint-John Perse wrote during his lifetime. Saint-John Perse was a pseudonym that Alexis Leger used for his creations. The biggest achievement of this great man was considered to be when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature back in 1960 for “the soaring flight and the evocative images of his poetry, which, in a visionary fashion, reflects the conditions of our time.”
The great minds that were found on such a secluded area has amazed many people but it’s literary output is even today recognised and continued by many journalist, essayists, poets and even novelists. Such names as Simone Schawartz-Bart, Mayse Conde and M. Ernest Pepin are only a few of the great talents that have risen from the shores of Guadeloupe.
Along with the various literary talents, the people of Guadeloupe are also well known for their dances and music. The combination of French, Indian and African styles have created some unique forms that are specific to the Guadeloupe region, such as the dance styles named zouk-love, zouk and kompa but also hip-hop and other modern dances.
If you think you could enjoy such a variety of cultures and that you will fit in, don’t hesitate to move to Guadeloupe. A new adventure filled with different sounds, smells and moves waits for you! Leave the worrying for us and don’t concern yourself with small details.
We provide a cost effective and reliable service to you. Be it a small or a large number of boxes that needs moving, we can arrange collection of your belongings and relocation, as well as Storage, all only under the best conditions and with highly Qualified Professionals Removers.

Cultural Attractions in Holland
Holland is home to a fantastic variety of cultural sights and sounds, including a wide range of art galleries and museums. These include, in Amsterdam, the Dutch arm of the Hermitage museum in St Petersburg, Russia. Amsterdam is also home to the Rijksmuseum, the most famous paintings of which include masterpieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt’s Night Watch. Also to be found in the city is the Van Gogh Museum. Amsterdam is also big on performing arts, with sites including the Heineken Music Hall, the Stadsschouwburg theatre and a world-class symphony orchestra. The city is also home to a wide range of festivals and events, including the Gay Pride parade of boats in the canals each August.
Outside of Amsterdam, Holland continues to offer a series of cultural attractions. Head to The Hague, where you can visit the Mauritshuis, a former 17th century palace where works by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Jan Steen can be viewed. Alternatively, visit the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag modern art museum, which has a collection consisting of works by Picasso, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Monet and Van Gogh. In nearby Rotterdam, meanwhile, the most obvious arts and cultural hotspot is the Museumpark, where you can find the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, with its collection of art spanning the period from the late Middle Ages until 1945. Music festivals include the “Festival aan de Werf” in Utrecht, in addition to festivals and events dedicated to everything from music, sports, films, art and dance to the humble domino.

Be Prepared for the German Job Selection Process
Making Moving Easy
Moving to Germany successfully from the UK can be achieved in many different ways and using many different removal companies. If you want the best chance of a seamless moving experience or if you have special needs such as either modest or grand requirements, we at European Removal Experts believe we can offer the service that you require.
By specialising in moves between the UK and the European continent, we are able to make moving to Germany as seamless as possible. We are a London-based company as this is the perfect location for our operation. We are close to hand for the most densely populated area of the UK and conveniently close to the most common route for travelling between the UK and mainland Europe.
When moving to Germany the types of things that you will need to consider are how you wish to plan your move. Some people will want the entire house move experience to be handled for them from packing to unloading whilst others may select a range of specific items to be moved on their behalf for them and handling the rest themselves.
If renting a furnished property, moving to Germany may simply mean moving your more personal belongings and possibly a certain key piece of furniture without which life would simply not be the same. For these reasons, we offer a variety of services. If cost is an issue, goods can be moved on a shared container basis rather than in a dedicated removal vehicle. Even if you do use a dedicated van, less key items could be moved at a later date using our shared shipments. This may also create a need for storage which is also a service that we offer. A well planned move with an experienced removal firm will make moving to Germany as easy as ABC.
Finding a French Property
If you are planning on moving to France then the biggest challenge will be to find a property; unfortunately France is a very “document heavy” society and therefore there can be a lot of leg-work before you close the deal; this however, is a little ahead of ourselves! And before you buy a property, quite obviously your going to need to find a property.
The first question your going to need to ask yourself is “why are you moving to France in the first place?” The answer to which will determine the kind of property that will be most suitable to your needs; for example, do you plan on living in France for a certain number of months of the year or are looking for a permanent residence?
Of course, your perfect property will be a matter of personal taste, however as a general rule a pied-à-terre (literally meaning foot on the ground) – which is a small place – will be perfectly suited as a temporary or “short-term” residence.
Also, if you are moving to France on a temporary rather than permanent basis, then it is likely that you will be in France for the warmer months, and therefore issues like insulation and heating costs may not be as permanent than if you were moving to France permanently.
Remember, France is a lot bigger than the UK, so moving to France will be markedly different depending on exactly where you plan on moving, for example a move to Paris will have its own challenges, in terms, for example, parking.
Moving to Rotterdam
The second largest city in the Netherlands is Rotterdam. The city is well known for its large ports that are ranked among the top in the world. The city is now a major international commercial centre and it all started when a dam was built back in 1270, on the Rotte River. The city is strategically placed at the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta on the North Sea. The location of the city is also where a major rail, road, inland and air waterway distribution system extends all the way through Europe. As a result of this, Rotterdam is also mentioned under the nickname “Gateway to Europe”.
Rotterdam is located in the province of South Holland, just in the western part of Holland. The city is well known for its architecture, cultural life, universities and the maritime heritage along with beautiful riverside setting.
A striking moment in history that made Rotterdam famous among all is the Rotterdam Blitz. The Rotterdam Blitz was the aerial bombing of the city in 1940, killing thousands. The bombing command was put under serious scrutiny and was a highly controversial matter because just before the bombing happened, negotiations took place and the decision to ceasefire was taken.
Rotterdam is known as having the largest port in Europe that was until 2004 the busiest port too until it got surpassed by Shanghai. The city bases its strategic and commercial importance on the location it occupies, being near the mouth of the New Meuse channel that leads directly into the centre of Europe.
Regarding the Rotterdam architecture, the city has several high-rise buildings that are defining of the city’s skyline. Such one building is the Witte Huis that was completed back in 1989 and reaches the high of 15 meters. Several other buildings were built in the early 20th century that adopted the modern style architecture, such as the clubhouse of the Royal Maas Yacht Club and the Feyenoord football stadium.
After the bombings took place in World War II, along with the lives lost then, many of the old buildings in the centre were destroyed. While rebuilding these, the centre of Rotterdam became a place where ambitious new architecture found its home.
Another famous architectural structure has been built by the architect Piet Blom back in 1984, namely the cube houses. Overall there are many famous architects that are bases in Rotterdam such as Erick van Egeraat and Neutelings & Riedijk.
In Rotterdam there are also several annual events that are only found in the city, such as the largest Caribbean carnival in Europe named the Zomercarnaval. Other examples of these events are the Bavaria City Race which is a formula 1 race that takes place inside the centre of the city or the World Port Days that is actually held in honour of the Port of Rotterdam and it takes place over the course of three whole days.
Rotterdam is also famous for being the home of the Erasmus University which concentrates its studies on education in management, economics and research. Several multinational firms surround the university that is located in the east of the city.
The city also has a strong cultural appeal and was once named as the European Capital of Culture back in 2001. Rotterdam has a grand orchestra named the Rotterdam Philharmonic and several theatres and movie theatres. There is also a major zoo located at the northwest of the city, named Diergaarde Blijdorp.
The city has several important museums that can be visited such as the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Ethnographic Museum. There is also a historical shipyard and museum known as the Scheepwerf ‘De Delft’. Here you can visit the ship of the line Delft which was reconstructed and opened to the public.
There are various things to do in Rotterdam and many of which are well worth doing. Whatever you might desire to find there you will probably find it if you search a little. So don’t stay on ceremony and start a new stage of your life in Rotterdam. No matter what you have to move to be there, we can move it for you.
We provide a cost effective and reliable service to you.

Moving to Stuttgart
The capital of the Baden-Württemberg state is Stuttgart, and it is located in southern Germany. Stuttgart is ranked sixth as size in Germany and the Stuttgart Metropolitan Region is ranked fourth as size after the Rhine-Ruhr area, Berlin/Brandenburg and Frankfurt/Rhine-Main regions.
The city is at the centre of a highly dense populated area and it is encircled by smaller towns. The area is called Stuttgart Region and it reaches to a population of 2.7 million inhabitants. The urban area of Stuttgart can reach a 1.8 million of inhabitants there classifying as the seventh largest in Germany.
It is unusual for a German city to be like Stuttgart, which is spread across several hills, vineyard, parks and valleys. This always surprises visitors as Stuttgart is known as the “cradle of automobile” and its industrial reputation. Stuttgart is also a centre of authority in regards with the state legislature, the local council and the regional parliament. Stuttgart is also the home of the Protestant State Church in Württemberg and in addition it is one of the two co-seats of the bishop of the Roman-Catholic Diocese of Rottenburg – Stuttgart.
The city has ranked thirtieth in 2010 in liveability rankings in the world and seventh in Germany.

Regarding business ventures, Stuttgart best description offered was “Where business meets the future” and it is now targeted at foreign investors as “The creative power of Germany”.
By being nicknamed the Schwabenmetropole, Stuttgart makes a reference to the Swabian dialect spoken by native dwellers in the centre of Swabia where the city is now located. Because of heavy emigration due to economic reasons, a lot of newly born residents are of immigrant background.

Europe – The World’s Finest Cuisine
Of course great food is perhaps not the most pertinent factor for anyone considering moving to France or moving to Sweden; however, there is something comforting in knowing that your new home knows good food! Luckily, pretty much every European nation is well versed in the art of cuisine, with even notoriously non-gastro nations serving up world beating food nowadays.
Belgian Bites
Belgium is an incredibly culturally diverse place, with the capital Brussels being officially trilingual, this is well reflected in its cuisines and not only does Belgium offer over 800 kinds of beer, as well as delicious chocolate, but it also offers a unique haute cuisine, influenced by its French neighbours. This means that anyone moving to Belgium will discover not only an intriguing European culture but also world class food.
German Dining
Just like England, Germany has had to work hard to shake off its stereotype as one of the less gastronomical nations in Europe, and these days it is known for its truly cosmopolitan restaurant culture. Of course it still retains its unique food heritage, and some of the finest food you’ll find in Germany is based on traditional German dishes, such as Goulasch or roast wild boar.
French Finesse
Of course, if you do follow your stomach as much as your heart, then you may find it hard to resist relocating to France, and not only is it England’s neighbour, but it is also known as the gastronomical capital of the world, and is packed full of world beating restaurants such as Le Chateaubriand; and whether you’re moving to France for the cuisine or not, there is something comforting in knowing that your homeland knows how to cook and boy does France know how to cook!
