I recently saw Albanians protesting outside of my apartment and it was the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this in person. Coming from America I can understand the motivation to stand up for your land/ country.
For all my expats out there how are you feeling about the protests? This is not a political question but I want to know if you’ve participated, feel scared, or admire what is happening?
What are some ways you worked through that “lonely” feeling when you first moved abroad?
New expats don’t realize that the hidden risk of moving abroad isn’t the flight, the packing, or even the new country itself.
It’s assuming you can sort out important paperwork AFTER you arrive.
Needing a notarized form, an apostille, or a certified translation becomes much more stressful once you’re living in another country.
Whenever possible, think about your paperwork before you leave: • Banking documents• Power of attorney• Educational records• Immigration paperwork• Professional licenses• Vital records
A little preparation before your move can save a lot of time, money, and lower the stress of moving abroad.
If you’re already living abroad, what’s one document you wish you had prepared before moving?
