    Hi everyone,

    Just been browsing this forum and based on a few posts I saw it seems to be the right place to post this. If not, then the mods might be able to move it.

    I am working to launch a new website which is currently being developed by my web company. My top priority as of right now is securing high quality, original, compelling and interesting content, and as such I am looking for great writers who have recently moved/emigrated to or have lived in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK. These are the only relevant countries for now but other countries may be featured later.

    To start with, I am looking for 5 articles of approx 800-1000 words from each writer on their personal experiences of living abroad in these countries. The purpose of the articles is to give young Irish people who are considering a life abroad - or have already planned to move abroad - an authentic flavour of what it was like moving to and setting up in these countries - specifically to give them an insight into what they can expect.

    In short; to give them the 'inside track' on life abroad.

    I have added a random article below to illustrate the requirements. It is a great example of the type of content I am looking for.

    http://s2b.experience.com/alumnus/article?channel_id=Ventures_Abroad&source_page=editor_picks&article_id=article_1199744023343#

    I am really open to interesting article ideas, but the content for the 5 articles would be geared towards the following areas:

    -experiences of setting up abroad, challenges, fears, how you handled the move and what you learned
    -tips on finding accommodation and handling rent, landlords, etc - dos and donts
    -impressions of the culture, the people, social etiquette, advice on integrating
    -tips on finding work, what 'worked' for you, dos and donts
    -guidance on managing money, saving the pennies, tips and tricks, setting up bank accounts, etc.

    This would obviously be paid work and I am willing to pay well for top notch, 100% unique articles written by young (18-40 years) writers living abroad/who have recently lived abroad with a high standard of education and a demonstrable ability to write to a high standard.

    Please contact by PM if interested.

    Thanks!
