Chuck Bolotin, Vice President of Business Development explained, “The study reports expats’ responses to everything from why expats moved overseas, to did they achieve what they were looking for, to fears (both realized and unrealized), happiness, stress, lifestyle, advice, comments, and everything in between, including stories and a good amount of humor. I’ve been fully immersed in this for over two years, and I was quite surprised by many of the results.”
Alan Alexander, Chairman of the Best Places Advisor Board added, “The format and content of this study is perfect for journalists and publishers. Right after the cover, we have ‘Hot Tidbits for Journalists’. We also provide infographics, comments by the expats themselves, expert analysis, and access to experts for journalists. Within reason, we’ll even run a custom query for news organizations against our database and provide custom graphics.”
Alexander described the value of the study for people considering moving overseas. “For these people, it’s a ‘must read.’ The study reveals the good and the bad about moving overseas, and the real expat experience as told by real expats.”
