From lower cost of living and slower-paced lifestyles to improved work-life balance and personal well-being, many expats say the move has been transformative. But it’s not all perfect — we also explore the trade-offs, including cultural adjustments, new challenges, and the reality that moving abroad often means exchanging one set of problems for another.
