En blog om det gode expatliv
af Henriette Johnsen
Velkommen til min blog. Her finder du alt fra guider om forskellige aspekter af expatlivet til personlige historier fra andre expats – og vigtigst af alt, dybdegående artikler om nogle af de psykologiske aspekter ved livet i udlandet. Bloggen er skrevet på engelsk, og nogle poster henvender sig specifikt til udlændinge i Danmark, mens andre er generelle for expats.
Jeg håber, du vil bruge disse blogposter til at berige din oplevelse som udlandsdansker.
