This day was first launched by MobileRecharge, which is a top up service for expats. They launched this day so that the public could be aware of the constant generosity of expats when it comes to supporting their family and friends back home. They believed that the expat community did not receive any attention or thanks for their efforts, and so they decided to create a day to celebrate.
On this day, there are many different activities that take place. There are fun online contests amongst the expat community, as well as special deals and offers online that has been designed purely for expats. Plus, you will find a lot of social media posts and online articles that have been curated by the expat community.
Moving to another country can throw up a whole host of hurdles and experiences that you may never have thought about until it happens to you. So, let’s take a look at some of the things that we are sure all expats can relate to…
Of course, there are some people who decide to move abroad but it does not end up working out for them. You should not underestimate how difficult it is to move to a brand new country. There are a number of different reasons for expat failure. However, most surveys do reveal that family-related issues tend to be the main reason. This is because moving abroad can place a massive strain on the family. This is especially the case when one person settles in easily and the other person cannot adjust. Expat families are going to undergo a lot of challenges and strains, especially in their first year, and so it is important to stick together and support one and other.
