We have been in Guam 18 months now. Pro's and con's to note:
Pros:
Pros:
- The ocean
- warm weather (shorts and flip flops 24-7)
- some nice beaches
- everything is close
- most people friendly
- good place to base travel from
- everyone knows everyone
- No one cares what you do or how much you make.
- Personal attention at bank, Dr. etc.
- Great outdoor activities especially if you like hiking, biking, running.
- schools - even private not great
- groceries, $$ and not great - all religious too.
- Groceries - outrageously $$$ and many times bad quality - all produced is shipped in from CA.
- Seems like you are living in the PI. at times.
- beach litter - amazing how many locals do not care about this island and trash it.
- housing costs are dictated by military allowances so $$$ for non military folks to live.
- Traffic and how some islanders drive!
- lack of shopping and good restaurants
- Can get boring if you do not like hiking, biking, running
