Expat Life

ADVICE FOR EXPAT LIFE

We left the UK in 2006 to travel, and decided that we liked the lifestyle abroad and become expats, teaching English. We first lived in Thailand, then Spain, Vietnam, China and Ukraine, and after 2022, moved to Hong Kong. During this time, we've picked up various hints and tips about expat life abroad generally, and in the places we've lived, that we can pass on to you.

EXPAT LIFE IN UKRAINE

Obviously, all of this does depend on the lifestyle you lead, and we aren't big spenders by any means, but it should give you some insight into being an expat in Ukraine.
