Expat Forever
Blog on my experiences living abroad
I founded Expat Forever in april 2010 in order to demystify life abroad and more particularly the role of the expat spouse. On this blog, I share my thoughts, experiences, humors but also my discoveries on the topic. You will find many articles about family expatriation, third culture kids, cultural shock, life abroad but also posts about the countries (Norway, Sri Lanka, United States, China) and the cities (Oslo, Colombo, Chicago, Shanghai) where I lived. This blog is in French only.
My blog was ranked among the Top 10 of the best expat blogs in August 2015 by the magazine Marie-France (article in French)
