Here's a board to talk about all the ins and outs of leaving the UK and launching yourself into the wide blue yonder - selling up, saying goodbyes, all that sort of thing. NB - this is NOT for country-specific issues; please post those on the appropriate country forum.
Talk about the weather, make new friends, comment on anything, pop in to say "hello". [Please DO NOT post country-specific questions here - they belong on the relevant country board in the In-Country Experts Forum.]

Are you a writer or a would-be writer? Does travelling or being an expat affect your writing ambitions? Periods away from home seem to inspire people to write, and this board aims to investigate and encourage that phenomenon. [This board has been expanded to include discussion about books, authors, and your recommendations.]

General travel advice, ie expat travel to places rather than expat living at ... [which is covered on our In-Country Experts forum - link at the top of the page].
The place to talk about cars and motorbikes - whether you're a petrolhead, just enjoy pottering about or simply see your car or bike as a means of getting from A to B.

Sadly, from time to time we get plagued by buffoons posting garbage in order to promote their dodgy businesses. This is where we name and shame - we strongly advise AGAINST buying from any of the "businesses" listed here.
