10 Favourite Articles… for 10 Beautiful Years!

01/11/20230

In honour of Expat Nest’s 10th year, founder Vivian Chiona looks back at her favourite articles from the blog… one for each year since we started.

 

I’m still amazed – and so appreciative – that Expat Nest has been around for a decade.

So, in honour of 10 beautiful years serving expats like you, I’ve decided to share 10 of my favourite articles from the blog… one for each year since we started. It was NOT easy to decide!   

This is my way of saying thank you for being part of the Expat Nest community and celebrating the expats who have shared their stories and life lessons with us over the past decade. 

Here they are, the 10 articles for 10 years:
