We are relocating to Brussels, Belgium

Hi Everyone

We will be relocating to Brussels, Belgium this coming summer.

The news about the new posting was received differently by each member of our family:

My husband is very happy as it is a promotion and a very interesting and challenging work. Our eldest is graduating high school this year and is not very happy about the upcoming posting. He is planning to join us but as he does not speak French we will need to search for universities in English. Our middle son is excited. He loves living in different countries, and our youngest is not sure if it's good or bad.

I am pleased we found out about our move at the end of December. This will give us plenty of time to prepare.

First thing we need to do is to prepare a moving list and to register our 2 youngest to an English school in Brussels - grade 10 and grade 8.

Then, we will start gathering information about life in Brussels. This is where the expats blogs are a great help and an amazing resource for valuable information.

There were no expats blogs when we relocated to Venezuela in 1996, and there were hardly any when we moved to Canada in 2002. But now it is 2010 and everyday new expats blogs are being created, so I will be reading lots of blogs about life in Brussels in the upcoming weeks.

If you are an expat living in Brussels I would love to hear about your experience. You can comment on this blog post, or you can write about your experience in here.

If you are an expat living anywhere around the world you are welcome to share your stories about life in your host country, and you can also assist other expats who are planning a relocation to your host country by filling out our questionnaire..
