About Carole

Carole Hallett Mobbs is an Expat Life Mentor and Consultant who created ExpatChild in 2012. In 2020, she launched the Expatability® Chat Podcast.

"Just more congrats and appreciation for your great content. I wish I’d found you before I had moved over… the resources I found were useless in comparison.

You obviously not only have lived the life, but are very perceptive and analytical with a strong understanding of people."

"I found your site and relocation checklist when I found out my husband and I were moving to the UK from Australia, for his work. We had just under 4 months notice and knew we’d be living in rural England for 3.5 years.
Your short, informative articles were really helpful and easy to digest. We have been living in the UK for a little over 18 months now.
I thought there wouldn’t be much of a culture shock between home and here, but I was wrong. It’s not east, but we’re making the most of it, travelling Europe and exploring the UK. Thanks for all your work"

Living abroad is like playing a video game where you’ve skipped the tutorial. Now you’re running about with no idea how anything works.

Don't panic - you've found the manual!

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EXPAT LIFE

What is expat life really like?

Expat life is a journey through time zones and emotions. It can be a rollercoaster life at times, especially with children in the mix. Ultimately, it’s an incredible way of life and a fabulous experience for families bringing up expat kids.

Let me help you support your children with their expat life to enable them to grow into well-adjusted, global citizens.

And if you can't find what you need here, I can help you personally. Just get in touch!

EXPERT EXPAT INSIGHT

There is absolutely no substitute for experience - whether that's expat experience, parenting experience or general life experience. I have the lot.

With my family (including pets) I spent 12 years living overseas in Japan, Germany and South Africa. Then we returned to the UK. So, I have seen real expat life from 'both ends'.

Expat life isn't always 'Insta-Perfect'. Yes, it's an incredible lifestyle. But many people have unrealistic expectations. Sugar-coating expat life doesn’t do anyone any favours. 

You'll always get the truth from me.
