Reunion Island is a French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. It is a volcanic island with a diverse landscape, including beaches, mountains, rainforests, and craters. Reunion Island is also home to a variety of cultures, including French, Creole, Indian, Chinese, and Malagasy.
Living on Reunion Island is a unique experience. The island is known for its beautiful scenery, its friendly people, and its laid-back lifestyle. The cost of living on Reunion Island is relatively high as many provisions have to be imported. That said, it's a chance to explore a location completely different from the UK and you can spend your time hiking, cycling and nature spotting in the beautiful scenery. It's also the chance to learn about the special melting pot of cultures here. The experience in Reunion will be very different from that in mainland France, but certainly it will be an adventure.
