Moving abroad is stressful at the best of times, but when you face discrimination just for being who you are, it can be even more complicated. We’re currently running a series of articles about being a transgender expat, and this month we focused on Canada as a destination.
On the other side of the stress scale, a recent survey has revealed the happiest countries in the world. Unsurprisingly, the Nordics are at the top again.

And on a related note: if you’re a British expat living abroad, here’s how and when you should declare your offshore assets to HMRC.
Keeping you up to date is one of the things we strive to do, so this week we’ve seen updates about expat healthcare, finance and general news around the world.

If you’re still trying to decide where to move, or if you’re already an expat but you’d like some local knowledge, here’s how to use Facebook to ease your transition.
And finally, we have an expat experience to share with you all: Cherie, who moved to Germany from the USA.
