Let’s support each other in the unique scenarios that expats go through, you don’t have to go through it alone. Leaving everything behind, family, friends, everything you’re used to. Then having to move to a new country learning the new culture, language, loneliness, making friends, staying sane and trying to settle into a new place to make it seem like home. It is an extremely difficult transition to have to go through for so many as there is no element of knowing what will happen. There are so many struggles to go through, when you don’t know where to turn or what to do, it’s a comfort to know that you have the support of a community like this one who can empathise with your stresses as well as answer your questions from their experiences of having moved abroad.

Despite all of these things, expat reality can also include an opportunity for the open minded to expand your knowledge and experiences. To live in a new part of the world without it being a short-lived vacation where you miss so many aspects. Embrace the differences! Embrace expat life!
