New Here?
First, Welcome to Expat Yourself
I’m Jeff (about me here). However you found me, I’m happy you made it. This blog is almost 2 years old and still going strong.
I absolutely love traveling and feel “the world is my oyster” – and Yours, too.
When people hear how I and my family have traveled, lived, worked and own property abroad, some have a dream to do the same, but don’t know where to start. So this blog got started.
I Want This Blog To:
- motivate You
- share my stories and experiences
- give step-by-step help to make your dream into your reality
- explain why moving and living abroad can be a truly life-enriching experience
