It’s not just you...
GGI Community Managers share their
experiences with misadventures,
misunderstandings and mistakes
while making a home abroad!

While

we do our best to
research life and living in a new
country, there’s only so much
preparation you can do. Not all
lessons can be learned from
articles and books. Some lessons
have to be learned the hard and
often embarrassing way. Rest
assured, however, it’s not just
you. Making a home abroad is
not easy. There are many common mistakes made by GGIs the
world over often relating to different cultural norms, languages,
and etiquette. To ease your pain
and red faces, some GGI community managers have shared
some of their misadventures,
misunderstandings and mistakes
made whilst in the process of
making their home abroad.
