Barcelona – Sagrada Familia: The massive Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Spain is officially titled the Basicila i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia. The many jutting and pointed towers including the Tower of the Virgin Mary make this building one of the world’s tallest religious buildings. Berlin – Berlin Wall: While the original Berlin Wall dividing this German city may have fallen in 1989, the city has never forgotten the connection to the Cold War. Today visitors go to see the East Side Gallery that is an open-air memorial dedicated to international freedom.

Palace of Versailles – Versailles, France: This royal chateau is located in Versailles in the Ile-de-France region and the palace is sometimes referred to simply as ‘Versailles’. Versailles was just a small village community when the palace was built in the 11th-century, unlike the thriving, affluent town it has become. From 1682, it was the seat of political power for the Kingdom of France. Louis Le Vaue was the architect responsible for the expansion of the palace from 1661 under the orders of Louis XIV. This building has been part of many significant historical events throughout French history. The palace is now only used as a museum and has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in France.

Expats in Europe trick of the day : Prepare to laugh at yourself. A lot. This is key. Insane things happen, and a lot of it you may never understand. True story: while trying to say “pineapple” to a coworker, you might instead say “I love your mom.” Everyone will laugh, and you should too. Let it go and grow.

Outline Your Goals: Even if you’re relocating as part of your job, it’s still a great opportunity for personal growth. Make a few goals for what you would like to experience or achieve while abroad and stick to them. This can make your time abroad feel more productive and fulfilling- even when feeling homesick. Look to the Locals : It’s very easy as an expat to get stuck inside an expat social circle. While it’s great to have friends that are in the same situation as you, it’s also important to get a real taste of the culture you’ve been submerged in. The best way to do this is to befriend the locals.
