Hello!

I was just wondering about your situation when you first expatriated, such as your age, whether you had children or not, and how you came to the decision to expatriate

    Early 40s, married to a SAHD, twins in early elementary school. We’d always talked about living abroad and then a job came up in my MNC that I knew I could get. Moved from San Francisco to Switzerland. I’ve been here for 5 years now but considering going back soon; my kids did not manage to learn the local language fluently and the option is stay here and pay 60K / year for the next 6 years of private school, or go back to the states where I will make more money and school will be free. It’s been a lovely, grand adventure but I don’t think Switzerland is our “forever home.” We might move back for retirement but not CH— somewhere a little more lively like Spain, Portugal, or Italy.
