An expatriation is a massive change, which is associated with many emotions. As an expat, it demands a lot to adapt to a new work place, and for the family as a whole, it can be difficult to adapt to a new country and a new culture.

However, an expatriation can also offer considerable potential for new rewarding experiences and personal development. It is therefore essential that both the expat and any family are prepared for upcoming new life, so that the stay becomes a positive and enriching period of the expat’s work life, and equally importantly, of family life.
