The story behind Expat.com

In 2005, Julien Faliu, freshly graduated, decided to live abroad. He soon realized that, at that time, very little information was available about expat life. He decided to create a platform to gather blogs from expats worldwide, a unique source of firsthand insights into life abroad. He dedicated his free time to manage this space aimed at sharing experiences and which evolved little by little into a comprehensive resource to support you through every stage of your expat journey.
