Not only are more dual-career couples relocating, but it’s also more common that both partners want or need to work. With COVID-19, work permit complexities have increased based on location/country. Tax issues need to be addressed from […]

In my household there are three people with three jobs, one car, too many pets, and countless remote and in-person activities and obligations. We rely heavily on knowing who needs to do what, when.

There’s something so satisfying about starting with a clean slate, a fresh perspective, and setting new goals. That’s what the start of each new year gives us. Meanwhile, we often start with the best intentions and then lose track somewhere along the way. Here are some things to think about for 2022 goal planning. Deal with challenges […]

Even during seemingly ordinary times, year-end can be busy and stressful. Small acts of self-care can make a difference.

While international relocations were slow and steady in 2021, a recent survey suggests that by February of 2022, we should begin to see an uptick in global relocations. Based on employee feedback, this is due to pent up demand. Motivation for moving to a new country remains largely driven by work and job opportunities. Top […]
Today’s date is a palindrome here in the U.S., where we write December 1, 2021 numerically as 12.1.21. With the weight of the past 20 months, and the busy season ahead, I thought it would be nice this week to take a lighter look at some dates in December. Everyone is familiar with Hanukkah, which […]
