Expat Stories

One of the best ways to prepare for your own move abroad is to learn from those who’ve already done it. Hearing real stories from people who have taken the leap can give you valuable insights—what worked for them, what they wish they’d done differently, and all the little details you might not think about until you’re in the thick of it.

That’s exactly why I’ve gathered these expat stories from Americans who have moved all over the world. Through personal interviews, they share their experiences—the good, the bad, and everything in between. Whether you’re curious about adjusting to a new culture, navigating the logistics of an international move, or simply looking for inspiration, these stories offer honest, first-hand advice to help guide your journey.

No matter where you’re thinking of moving, there’s something to learn from each of these experiences. So dive in, take notes, and get inspired by those who have already made the move.
