We at Expat Nest celebrated our 10th birthday on 21 June 2023! 

Check out the photos of our happy celebrations here. I only wish we could ALL celebrate together…

Ten years on, we are still offering professional support to expats all over the world, in several languages and across time zones. This is an incredible milestone!
 
And, as you already know, we also offer support through this blog, which covers many facets of the dynamic expat life. You can search a category—like career/workplace, grief/loss, love/relationships, stress/depression, transition/life changes, real-life expat stories, and more—to find context-specific support, or browse the blogsite and follow your curiosity. 🙂
