About Carole
I'm Carole, Expat Life Mentor and Consultant, founder of ExpatChild.com and the Expatability™ Chat Podcast. For 12 years I lived overseas, with my husband and daughter, plus assorted pets (very important!).
I first moved to Tokyo, Japan in 2006 as a ‘trailing spouse’, with a 5-year-old daughter and two cats. After five years in Tokyo – plus one huge earthquake – we moved to Berlin, Germany with one cat and a new dog. From there, we moved to Pretoria, South Africa and repatriated to the UK in 2018 with two completely different cats, the same dog, and <deep breath> a teenager (yikes!).
I've experienced both ends of expat life, there and back again. And I can definitely claim I've been there, done that and got rid of more t-shirts than you can imagine!
You're setting sail on the grand voyage of expat life, and in your pocket, you have a compass. That compass is me - the navigator, the confidant, and the companion who'll help you navigate the choppy waters of relocation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone who wants to make a success of moving and living overseas! If you're planning to move abroad at some point, it's never too early to make a start.
Also, anyone who wants to have a secure, safe space to talk about expat life and the unique challenges it can sometimes throw our way.
All are welcome, wherever you are on your expat journey: planning, first timer, 10th timer, or repatting.
In fact, if you are planning a move back home, you may find you'll need this community more than you could imagine! Moving back home is often the most difficult move of all.
There are certain topics I don't deal with, for legal reasons.
For example, I officially can't help you with visas, job-seeking, financial and legal advice. So, when you have these sorted out, by all means apply to join!
That's fabulous! However, life changes. You change, your kids change (oh boy, do they change!). Their needs alter as they grow up. Your needs change from country to country.
Each relocation is different. Each person is different. Each stage of your life is different. No relocation journey is the same for everyone, even within the same family.
And once you add children into the mix, you'll discover whole swathes of expat life you hadn't considered before!
Maybe you lived abroad when your situation was different? Perhaps you were working, studying or single? Now you’re unable to work due to visa issues; you’re in a couple; you have kids… Or vice versa!
Education, health, special needs, the list could go on. And – stating the bleeding obvious - a toddler is a vastly different creature than a teenager!
So, changing circumstances make your need for an understanding connection a vital part of your expat life.
Yes, you could dive into expat life without knowing what to expect, but I wouldn’t recommend it! That only works if you find a fabulous support system instantly.
The quickest way to 'fail' at expat life is to not have a support system. Expat life can get isolating, very quickly.
And, however independent and self-sufficient you are, life has a habit of throwing curve balls and dealing with difficulties when you’re miles away from familiarity is tough.
I'm sure you recall 2020...
Too many times I’ve met disillusioned people who had certain expectations on what their new life abroad would be like. And then it all falls apart.
Don't worry, though! The Expatability Club is here for you as a safety net if expat life does get tough for you. We will be here when you need it with absolute understanding and support.
I wish I could guarantee everyone would have an amazing expat life, but as we all know, that kind of guarantee isn't possible!
Yes, expat life is generally an amazing experience, but the nature of life, the universe and everything means 'things happen'...
What I do with the Expatability Club is provide you with info, insight and insider tips and provide a supportive space where you can get support whenever you need it.
Bluntly? There's an application process so The Expatability Club is kept free of 'undesirables'!
I personally review each application to make sure that everyone who is accepted into The Expatability Club fits with my ethos, values and vision for this community. And well, just isn’t a arse!
I'm very protective of my clients and this community, and I want each and every member to be comfortable that they are in a safe environment.
Expat life is a journey, not a destination. There are certain milestones you will encounter that are well-known to me, but may catch you unawares. I don't want you to be left adrift without support at these tricky times.
You don't know what you need to know until you get there.
Also, this gives you time to forge real connections with fellow expats inside the Club.
The Expatability Club is here to support you before, during and after your expatting experience, every step of the way.
The EXPATABILITY CHAT platform is an independent standalone communication channel. I've created it so that it is supremely secure and not connected to any social media platforms.
A couple of reasons for this:
- Social media platforms are notoriously 'glitchy' (AKA insecure) and any one of us could be hacked/banned etc - yes, it happens more than you may think.
- Secondly, having worked with expats over many years, I know there is a need for complete confidence in some discussions. You may not wish your employer / family / neighbours to know your plans.
Recognising that not everyone is comfortable with new tech though, I have also created a closed invitation-only Facebook group just for The Expatability Club members.
I do, yes! Places are naturally limited as there's just one of me! My 1-1 offers are not part of The Expatability Club, unless you choose the VIP option.
This means I can truly give you a very personalised service. I’ll help you with the practical aspects of your relocation, and support your emotional needs before, during and after your move.
Please contact me for further information.
Indeed there is. I contributed a whole heap of it myself!
However, you then need to rely on searching for information and hoping Google comes up with the most relevant data for you. Which means you also need to know exactly what you need to know.
Within The Expatability Club you have to chance to ask me and the community your specific questions.
The Expatability Club gathers everything you need to know into one, unique place, saving you time and energy.
If you have any questions, please drop me an email

“Carole just gets it - she can relate and has such a wealth of knowledge and life experience in being an expat; relocating many times, having kids, and relocating them, and a partner who works away, not taking the traditional route and so being different to those around her."
