It's been a tough year for most of us around the world. But if you've repatriated in the middle of this it has been even tougher. Losses are harder to take when so much is out of our control. Have a look at my latest blog post.

Some thoughts on comparing re-entry and Covid-19 - I think more and more that those who have been expats in tough places can weather this storm a lot easier than others who have never had to cut back to the basics.
So far, lock down reminds me of living for 50 days below -15 Celsius and living through a revolution in Kyrgyzstan - we simply did without. But then also going through re-entry has turned our world upside down and we've had to navigate through that.
What in your re-entry or expat experience has prepared you for now?

How des re-entry compare with the current Covid-19 global situation? What have you learnt from re-entry that could be useful right now?

Happy New Year! I've just been de-cluttering my home, getting rid of loads of things we no longer need, so thought I'd write an article on de-cluttering during re-entry. See what you think - what other questions would you ask yourself / others to help sort things through during re-entry?
