Can you plan your professional future as expat partner? Can you pursue a
career in your new environment? What are your expectations and
priorities? Moving abroad to follow a partner who is relocating is a
decision that has both great benefits and potential pitfalls. According
to 71% of expats who experienced a failed foreign posting, the reason
provided is an unhappy partner. This book allows you to ask all the
right questions, both before and during your stay abroad. To make a good
start, establishing clear agreements is an important step. In looking
at your own work differently, many unexpected doors may open. Written by
former and current expats who have vast experience in making a new life
in a foreign country, this book offers inspiring examples and useful
warnings. Step by step, you will be able to make better life and career
choices.
Carine Bormans is an experienced expat, having lived as

the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a specialised trainer for
expats and their partners. Marie Geukens studied
Germanic languages and journalism and has moved as an expat partner to
Budapest, Damascus and Ottawa. She now lives in Brussels and is
