EXPATABILITY® is now my official Registered Trademark 🥳🥰
But what does it mean?
I've always had a thing about playing with words... my first official blog when I lived in Tokyo was called 'Japanory' (and it's still there if you want to look).
Then I created another couple of half-hearted blogs, when I was in Germany and South Africa with similar wordplay.
So to me, it was only natural to play with words when it came to my 'new baby', born in 2017.
I wanted to convey how important it is to be well prepared for expat life, so that your dreams of a new and better life in another country do come true.
So, we have 'EXPAT', which I know winds people up for some reason.
In my world I use it for these simple reasons:
1) It's short!
2) It ties into my original site, Expat Child
3) Many of my clients move abroad on a temporary basis. I also help those who emigrate!
So, I will continue to use 'expat' mainly for the first two points. 🤷🏻♀️
Then we have 'ABILITY'.
It takes a certain kind of personality to 'do' expat life successfully.
You need a lot of skills, especially when you move overseas with your children. And even more if you're giving up your career to become a trailing spouse (😈 yes, I know, we hate this phrase too, but again, I use it for a purpose 😉).
Accompanying expat partners often must change their entire world view and cope with more than you can imagine, in a different country, with a different culture, sometimes in a different language, and without a solid support network, at least at first.
I want YOU to have the ability to live your best expat life.
And can share that ability with you. I have the talent, skill and proficiency to help you gain your own Expatability®.

Bush called Slovenia "a little slice of heaven" during his first visits in 2001 (site of his first meeting with Vladimir Putin) and "a big slice of heaven," as he put it during his second visit during the spring of 2008.
