Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats β€” Expat Insider β€” where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.
