Anne: the story of an expat coach
Anne was originally a teacher by training in Germany. Because of her husband's occupation, she has stayed in several countries like US and China as an expat's spouse. Being an expat could be a challenging experience, not to mention being an expat's spouse. The experience triggered her to be an expat coach, helping expats and their families to lead a better life. She is currently back in her home country Germany.
