Expat moving is never easy and it can be frightening at times. A new assignment or job in a foreign country is exciting, but without friends and family in the vicinity it’s definitely challenging. Furthermore, expats have to deal with a new culture, in which he or she tries to fit in without help of a (professional) network. Building up a new network is not easy, especially when you have to do it in a foreign language.
While such problems may be solved by using Skype and LinkedIn, for example, expat moving remains a problem. What are you taking with you? How do you pack it? Which rules do you have to adhere to? What will be your means of transportation? Which insurances do you need? Not to mention decorating your new home and re-installing all your devices.
