Where Do We Finally Belong?

Perhaps every expat reaches a point in life when the question is no longer about how much more they can earn, how much bigger their house can become or how much further their career can progress.

The question becomes much simpler, yet much harder to answer.

Where do I really want to spend the rest of my life?

For some, the answer is clear.

They want to return to their homeland. They want to live close to their parents, relatives and old friends. They want their children to understand their roots and experience the culture they grew up with.

For others, returning is not practical.

Their children have grown up abroad. Their careers are established. Their financial arrangements, healthcare and daily lives are connected to the country where they currently live.
