About expat blog
Who else than an expatriate can help another expatriate?
The project
Expat blog is a project held by expatriates, for expatriates.
Our ambition is to help people who want to live abroad, wherever in the world they are, and wherever they would like to live.
The main idea is to make expatriates share their experience. Everybody can participate!
The team

His years abroad broadened his horizon and he started working on an expat blog directory, which he later turned into a rich, helpful and user-friendly website made by expatriates for expatriates : expat-blog.com.

Jo Ann v.
Community manager
Living abroad most of her life
Jo Ann was born in Angola, Southern Africa, but she celebrated her first birthday in La Havana, Cuba, where she lived four years. She went back to Angola and for the next 12 years, she lived between Angola and Portugal (mostly due to the civil war in her homeland). She went to the French High School in South Africa before heading to France where she lives since 2001 (a dream come true, really). Her life is made of travels, by plane or train (though she prefers the plane by far) and couldn't imagine it without discovering new places and cultures and languages.
