Expats – help beat the homesickness bug
Relocating to a new place can be an exciting time. Experiencing different environments is usually a good thing, and moving abroad can open up many opportunities, such as the chance to learn a new language and experience a different culture first hand. Whether you've relocated in retirement, because of work, or to be with a partner, the expat life can certainly be a fascinating one.

If, as an expat, you are feeling low, there are several things you can do to help make yourself feel at home no matter where in the world you find yourself.
