Moving abroad, whether for the first time or the fourteenth
time, can be a stressful and hectic time for many people. Getting the logistics
right, sorting out accommodation, notifying friends and setting up bank accounts… the list can be
endless.

What’s on your list?
Expat Explorer is reaching out to expats to find out what is
at the top of the worry list – are you worried about cultural adaptation, fitting
in with the local community or new work place? Or are you more concerned about
the day-to-day living, getting around in your new hometown or furnishing your
new home?
For expat parents, you may have a different set of worries
and concerns to couples or single person moving abroad – perhaps find the right
school for the children and concerns about their safety and whether they enjoy
life in their new home?
Over the coming weeks we’ll be putting together a list of
top expat worries – so have your say! Leave a comment in the box below or on Twitter.
Expat Explorer returns for another year – bigger and better than before! If you want to have a say in what it’s really like to live abroad and share your expat experiences with others, then click here to fill in the Expat Explorer survey for 2012.
