Living Overseas Report

Our Living Overseas Report is designed to give newcomers to your area a glimpse of expat life there. Right now, someone is packing up their home and preparing to move to your city. Help ease the way by answering a few questions!

As a way of helping expats research life abroad, Expat Exchange uses advice shared in our Expat Report Series to create articles that aggregate information about specific topics relevant to international relocation. We never include private information when we do this. Even though we NEVER sell, rent, or share our members private information, please consider carefully what private or personal information you share with others in our Expat Reports. Read more
