More and more young people are looking overseas for their next new adventure, be it the next step in their education or in order to further their career. Though long stints of travelling have been popular for a while, young adults are increasinly looking to make a long-term move abroad. This breed of young expat is often a keen traveller (often using their new home as a base for visiting the region) with a desire to discover the nuances of their new culture. Here are our top five blogs from young expats.
Erin Elsewhere
If you're young and looking for employment abroad, a popular choice is to teach English through one of the accredited international programs. Erin has been teaching in Strasbourg since 2016, and she documents her experience as an American in France in her blog, 'Erin Elsewhere'. She combines her experiences around Europe with her love of languages and her experience as a teaching assistant to give any wannabe expat an insight into making the most of living abroad.

Having visited almost 30 countries together, Liza and Pepe offer travellers first hand advice on seeing the world via their blog 'Tripsget'.

So, if you're searching for a complete guide on life abroad, this is the blog for you.

'The Hangover Experience' has little to do with the ill effects of drinking and much more to do with the positive effects of extensive travelling.

After his studies, he decided to explore the world to its fullest, and now finds himself based in Hanoi, Vietnam, from which he continues to explore the region.
