• Quality of life: Climate and lifestyle benefits in Cayman, BVI or Bermuda, including a favourable climate, an island lifestyle, proximity to the ocean, and opportunities for outdoor activities with a short commute to work.
• Ease of transition: English is the main language and there is a large expat community; no exams are necessary to get admitted, and direct flights to London and several North American cities.
