Expat and Trailing Spouse Resources for Living Abroad

We’ve been living our expat adventure for over ten years now, and while we consider ourselves old pros now, it wasn’t easy in the beginning. Alison’s transition was particularly tough, as she not only had to deal with the cultural issues of living in a new country, by she also had to come to terms with her new identity as a trailing spouse.

In our early days in Belgium, Alison wrote extensively about both the culture shock of being in a new country and her difficulty adjusting to life as a trailing spouse. As she grew more comfortable with both, Alison began to offer tips and practical advice on adjusting to the changes.
