What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Housing in Samoa is tough. It is definitely not up to the expat scale as nearby Fiji or even Vanuatu. Homes tend to be expensive ($3500/month for executive level), or generally poor quality construction. Termites and ants are a true nuisance. It takes time to find a landlord and property that meet your needs. Be patient and don't stress. There are always openings given the turnover of short term employees from other international agencies. - Dec 2018
