Three-quarters of expats are generally happy with their life; but what about the rest?

Based on personal experience and data from the annual Expat Insider survey, one of the biggest surveys on life abroad worldwide, Malte takes a closer at what factors contribute to expats’ happiness and their ease of settling in: How easy is it to find friends and get used to the local culture? Do expats in the USA even feel at home in the latter? And what role does the friendliness of locals play in this regard?
