Moving abroad

What settling into life as an expat actually involves: visa status that varies by destination and reason for the move, a cost of living that can run far lower or higher than expected, and building a social life.

• What is it like living abroad as an expat? Freeing, lonely, and slower than you expect.
• What does moving abroad cost, beyond the flight? Plan for $10K to $20K beyond the flight.
• What do expats wish they'd known before moving abroad? The paperwork and the loneliness hit hardest.
