At Expats Paris, we’ve been working on making transparency a new goal for us to win over our community and the general public. We’re open about apps we use to manage our business, we identified our ego-related risks, but we’ve also written about other expatriate communities that may be considered as our “competitors.” 

As an expat, it’s always a relief to know you’re not alone in your new country. It was hard enough leaving home and all the planning you had to do to make things work. Now you’re here and it can be overwhelming finding friends, a place to live, a new job, and becoming acclimated to a new culture and way of doing things.
