7 tips for a successful expat experience

As an expat for the last 15 years strongly motivated to pursue my career abroad and now an executive coach working with expats to build their project in their new country, I have learned some keys to have a successful experience such as:
1️⃣ Fully embracing the new environment with curiosity and openness
2️⃣ Resisting the temptation to compare with home or previous experiences
3️⃣ Tapping into the experience of expats who have been in this country for longer than you – they have been through the same journey
4️⃣ Learning the local language or at least some of it, it is a good way to grasp quickly the culture
5️⃣ Accepting to not understand everything
6️⃣ Enjoying the experience: trying new activities, seizing opportunities to travel across the region, discovering local products
7️⃣ Celebrating regularly your achievements: what you have learned, what you have built, how you have grown
