I just arrived this week; here for the completion of my reseach (expatriate mobility) and to be more inspired for all the writing I need to do this year. I've been to Geneva several times but it's always been work work work. Now that I'm here for much longer, I can add some playtime :) That has to include loads of training though, as I've finally bit the bullet and decided to top my 1/2 mara efforts with a full one. Would love to hear more of the running-network; when/where people do the long ones especially. I'm one of the slower group; about a 10min/Km until the training starts to have an effect!!!

welcome to the community mate.

I saw your subject is 'expatriat mobility' - it sounds real interesting, especially as many of the folks on this community are living the 'expatriat mobility' daily...

Would be very interesting to hear some of the stuff you're discovering about this...

And anything we can do to help?

Thanks very much! And thanks too for the great event this evening; what a super thing GOL is! As for my research, would be super to receive any support possible - it's a long hard slog to do a Phd in any subject, but I'm passionate about expatriate life so it's all worth while! Anyone interested in details can email me at [email protected] for further information. Much obliged! Work aside ... looking forward to more fun with GOL members. Cheers!

Hi there. The study is about expatriate attitudes/experiences towards expatriate life, employing organization, work-life balance, and international mobility. It's based on a survey that I mail to the participant; takes an hour to complete as it's a more comprehensive effort than other expat studies done before. Hopefully it's going to allow for some interesting findings that will help expats and organizations. For more info, or to participate, people just need to email me at [email protected] and I'd be happy to discuss it further. The more the merrier!!! Cheers!
