When Joana Silva Carreira left her native Portugal, she first lived in Belgium for six months, then in the United States for another six months. She currently lives in Luxembourg, where she works as a product manager. Her passion is singing, which she pursues in an international choir.
Her outgoing personality and open-mindedness have helped her adapt easily to life abroad. Having friends you can trust when you live abroad is sometimes like having a family away from home, she tells us. Whether you are going abroad to study or work, finding a hobby outside of work can help you balance your life. What you need to thrive may also become clearer during your time abroad.
