Blogs, Bank Accounts and Brexit Blues

This week at Expat Focus, we’ve been talking to people who have moved abroad about their experiences.

Our columnists, as always, have provided a wealth of information about their lives abroad. Rosemary Border Rabson discusses the Morvan in France and a flea circus in Surrey, England; and Kathleen Peddicord talks about the idiosyncracies of life in Prague.Josh and Melissa shared their experience of life as Americans in Wellington, New Zealand; and Abigail Simpson discussed her life in the same country. Jessica Federle moved to Brazil from Kentucky, and talked to us about her new life.

But of course, expat life doesn’t always go smoothly. An Australian expat talks about her life in Britain after the EU referendum result, and how the country she came to love is driving her away.

And there can be other concerns, too; the zika virus is a big one for people who are thinking of moving to Brazil. Here’s what you need to know before you go.

Beijing, once a thriving expat hub, is now becoming less attractive as a destination – but what is prompting the exodus?

Regardless of where you’re going, you’ll probably need to earn a living while you’re there. Here are our tips for expat managers – and if you’re lucky enough to be a digital nomad, we have an article for you too!
