Education, Interviews and Expat Adjustment

Where are the most prestigious universities in the world? They’re all in the UK and USA. Here’s a list of the top ten.

Of course, education doesn’t just happen in learning establishments. If your children are younger, you might need some help around the house with things like picking them up from school, helping them with homework, and the day to day minutiae of life. Expat Focus’ new columnist Bec Baxter talks about her experiences of hiring au pairs and shares some tips to make your au pair experience go smoothly.But learning through experience is arguably the best way to learn. We caught up with several people this week to talk about their lives abroad: Kev Harrison in Lisbon, Co-Founder of BonAppetour Rinita Vanjre Ravi, Kristine Simelda in Dominica, Chris Morvan in Suriname, and Joy Hanford in Portugal.

If you’d rather read people’s experiences on an ongoing basis, here are our recommendations for expat blogs in South Africa and Sweden.

And finally, if you’re looking for advice on a much more practical level, we’ve just published a guide to international voltage.
