Expat Life

Does a certain president have you considering a move abroad? Do you find yourself taking notes during 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way to plan your escape? Or have you simply had enough and wish to disappear without further questions? If you said yes to any of these, then maybe expat life is for you.  

Learn more about life as an expat in our Expat Life section. Here you’ll find guides for getting started, practical tips, insights, and the occasional rant. We’ll share general overviews on what it was like living, working and renting in the UK. Niche topics, like opening a bank account and importing a car into Finland. Plus, we’ll share our must-have ingredients for recreating our favorite American/ Finnish meals while living abroad.

And we’ll be honest about the ups and downs. As expats of over 7 years we’ve experienced not seeing our families for months at a time, dealing with isolation, and navigating a language barrier. These are just some of the everyday struggles you should consider before booking that one-way ticket.

But, if you’re still keen to get away and escape whatever circle of hell we’re currently working our way through, welcome! Use this section to plan your next steps, consider your options and see if expat life is really for you.
