Get to know a place before you call it home.

Expaty builds local platforms for people discovering, considering or building a life somewhere new. Built by expats who've been through it.

Built by expats, for expats.

We've moved countries ourselves. Finding a home, understanding the paperwork, knowing who to call: none of it is hard on its own. All of it is hard when you're new.

Expaty is what we wished we'd had when we arrived.

One destination at a time.

Each Expaty destination focuses on a single place: what it's like to live there, where to live, what things cost, how things work, and who can help. We go deep on one destination rather than skim the surface of a hundred.

What we believe.

  • Fewer, better options.

    You don't need a list of four hundred names. You need to know where to start.

  • Local knowledge, international access.

    The right answer is often already there. It just isn't visible to newcomers.

  • Clarity before commitment.

    A new place is a big decision. Good information should come before it.

  • Moving is one day. Living abroad is every day.

    We care about what happens after the boxes are unpacked.
