Expat Arrivals – October Newsletter

Welcome to October, expats. The world is cautiously but inexorably returning to a normal pace of life, even as we continue to see the effects of the last years' pandemic disruptions and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. But navigating change and uncertainty is nothing new to the intrepid expats who continue to follow their dreams wherever they may lead. This month, we check out the [best cities in the world for work-life balance](, and we take a look at [tips and tricks for learning a new language](. We read about [why some US expats are renouncing their citizenship]( and [why some UK expats are selling their Spanish homes](. We also look at expats' experiences [living in Hong Kong during harsh lockdowns]( and [the mental health issues some expats are faced with](. A population's health is a good indicator of the country's infrastructure, wealth and access to good food and medicine. We take a look at [the world's healthiest destinations](. Also, join us as we compare [curricula]( at international schools and discuss which one might be right for your expat children. We also interview four expats about their respective experiences in their new countries: [Ryno](, a South African in Qatar; [Megha](, an Indian living in Singapore; [Juli-Anne](, a Jamaican expat in Italy; and [Mimi](, a Canadian expat living in Madrid. Finally, we check out some of the pros and cons of moving to [Amsterdam]( or [South Africa](. The [Expat Arrivals]( team is committed to not only easing your relocation process but also softening the proverbial landing in your new home with valuable tips, advice and real-life expertise. We hope this month's offerings add some value to your expat experience. Safe travels, until next time. The Expat Arrivals Team Follow us on [Instagram](, [Facebook](, [LinkedIn]( and [Twitter](.
