A Great Resource on Life Abroad: 10 Years of Expat Insider

Expat Insider, one of the biggest surveys about living and working abroad, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Kathrin, Chief Marketing Officer at InterNations, and Margit, Senior Content & Communications Manager, reminisce about a decade of Expat Insider.

But I reminded myself that the third year of my studies was actually meant for that: to gain professional experience and to better understand what career path to choose after university. So, I decided to open myself up for something new. I would look for something I could possibly imagine myself enjoying as a full-time job and just try it out.
