Are you preparing for living and working in Botswana? Or are you already an expat and have recently relocated to Gaborone, Maun or some other international Botswanan city?

The expat relocation to Botswana is definitely an exciting international opportunity and cross-cultural adventure: Visiting the landscape such as the Limpopo River Basin, getting to know how Botswanan folks celebrate Botswana Day, or acquiring a taste for Botswana’s popular dishes like seswaai…

We certainly do not limit ourselves to Botswana, though. Our guide includes many more expat hotspots, with advice ranging from living in Denmark to live in Germany.
