As an Expat child i can empathize very well with what the Expat and his partner/family can encounter during a new assignment.
My father worked abroad as an Expat.
When possible, we went along as a family. We have lived in many countries such as Japan, China, Kuwait, America and also in Europe.
Many beautiful memories remain. Experienced many cultures.
But also seen the challenges of settling a family. Adjusting every time requires a lot of energy and time.
