Let’s just say it: Repatriation is harder than expatriation. In this show you’ll hear the story of Lawrence Chi, the owner of The Expat Compass, who after working intensively with both expats and repats, and who has since repatriated back to Canada himself, has come to that very conclusion and now spends a good part of his work helping repats navigate the journey home.
