"Expatriates typically find adapting to a new lifestyle in another country difficult and daunting. This includes getting used to different cultural norms, the language barrier, and overcoming homesickness. Additionally, navigating unfamiliar bureaucracies and dealing with transportation issues, workplace challenges, security concerns and finding a sense of belonging in a foreign country can be difficult and overwhelming.
