Why did you move to a foreign country? by Julien
The first poll of the expat forum! It is associated to this post: /forum/viewtopic.php?id=27 Did you move for professional reasons, for your studies, because you really wanted to (you move without a job), or for any other ...
Oh I so know what you mean about "white bread" You know it's hard and most of my close friends are british expats. Sadly, upbringing does make a difference when it comes to making friends. Humour is a big factor. I relate to people because of the ... Read More
The best expat jobs? by Julien
Hi, I am wondering which are the best expat jobs? Which job makes you discover the world? Which one helps you to easily integrate a foreign country? For example, I think that English teacher is a good expat job. You can easily work everywhere! I ...
I wish I did know where you could find such a job. I just know there is a need. We're quite backward here in lot's of ways. I will try and find out though. You know most people speak english here anyway. Why do you need to improve your english? ... Read More

It's kind of sad to me that you haven't been able to build a network of friends here too. I think being in small places in Greece is far harder than if you were in Athens. I never heard of the village where you are living right now. I think once you ... Read More

I fell in love and moved to Greece. But I didn't fall in love with a Greek man as is usual. My love, now my husband is an Iranian who was living in London when we met. He was in love with Greece and wanted to move back. OOH big decision. It took ... Read More

Hello, Do you know good websites on which I could find jobs in foreign countries? For example, a very good website in the UK: http://www.agencycentral.co.uk/ -> you can find here lists of recruitment companies ... very ...
I was far too specialised too. I always wish I'd trained as a plumber or as a carpenter. Skills that you can take anyway. Teaching English is the number one popular expat job I would say. But here in Greece it's badly paid and they exploit people ... Read More
