Being an expat for 21 years, I have moved 10 times across 6 countries and 4 continents. My first three moves were as a single expat employee, one as an expat couple after marrying my husband and the last six times we have moved as a couple with our 3 children. With every move I have a better understanding of what it takes to have a “happy” move/transition and a “soft” landing in your new host country.
Every move is different, being an engineer, I understand the value of processes, planning and connections. In every location, I have helped establish welcome committees for incoming families. Today in Rio de Janeiro, I run a Newcomers and a Support group for families.
