Expat Life: Volunteer opportunities abound
Thursday, 28 January, 2010There are plenty of ways to integrate, but one of the best—and most rewarding—can be giving your time to a group or activity you care about. Catherine Nelson-Pollard brings us one expat who’s been doing just that and has advice on where to start:

Expat Life: New country, new you?
Thursday, 21 January, 2010A lot of expats who arrive in a new country find that they need to diversify or even reinvent themselves professionally. Catherine Nelson-Pollard says the key is staying open to all kinds of options:

Expat Life: Soundtrack from a life abroad
Thursday, 24 December, 2009There wasn’t much opportunity to hear world music growing up in a small Yorkshire village in England in the ’60s. If you were lucky you could pick up a crackly pirate station on a transistor radio, but on the whole, world music was thin on the ground and on the airwaves. “Crossing borders” for us simply meant a trip to Lancashire.

Expat Life: Building your own friend network
Thursday, 10 December, 2009Not every city in Switzerland has the ready-made support networks that expats in Geneva and Zurich enjoy. So how do you find like-minded friends when fellow expats are harder to track down? One women in Fribourg has it figured out. She’s built a popular women’s group there in under six months. Susan Flory and Catherine Nelson-Pollard invite Kerri Dann to tell us how she did it.

Expat Life: Learning to fall in love with language
Thursday, 3 December, 2009Tackling the local language is all about attitude—well that and a lot of hard work. Catherine Nelson-Pollard gives us a good old-fashioned pep talk. And some insight into why it is that some people never seem to learn their accent no matter how well they know a second (or third or fifth) language.

Expat Life: Do-it-yourself Swiss culture
Thursday, 19 November, 2009Catherine Nelson-Pollard admits that the inefficiency of customers bagging their own groceries still drives her batty. She and Susan Flory invite expat author Margaret Oertig-Davidson back to talk about the importance of self-reliance in Swiss culture.
