Family Life Overseas
Moving with your family is not a simple task. The best thing about it is that you experience the amazing expat lifestyle abroad, and your children, as well as your spouse, would be able to have great opportunities just by having the experience of living overseas. You are also less prone to homesickness if you have your whole family in tow when you move abroad.
Remember, bringing your loved ones with you on an unfamiliar ground requires more preparation compared if you are just moving by yourself. It is not as simple as simply telling your kids over dinner table “We’re moving abroad, go get your suitcases and pack your stuff”. Aside from the rigorous process of arranging visas and future schools, you are asking your family to step out of their comfort zone and start a new life away from the place they call ‘home’. Yes, it is so much fun to have everyone with you and experience an exciting adventure abroad but do not forget that you also have to prepare them to overcome the language barrier, culture shock and homesickness.
