What you'll find on HelpAnExpat

Three things that help you arrive prepared and feel less alone in your new city.

Practical guides

Bureaucracy, housing, jobs, healthcare. The concrete things you need in your first month — tailored to your specific country-of-origin and destination pair.

Communities by origin-destination pair

Italians in Berlin, French in London, Argentinians in Madrid. Questions and answers among people going through the same transition — not a generic forum.

Multilingual

Italian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese. Every community has content in the language of those who live there and those arriving.

Facebook groups do something HelpAnExpat doesn't want to replace — the live conversation. But they aren't searchable, get lost, repeat themselves. HelpAnExpat collects, organizes and preserves what the community produces every day.

Built for those leaving and for those who've already arrived.

How it works

Three steps, no commitment, no payment. Everything is free.

Find your community

Selection by country-of-origin and city-of-destination pair. Italians in Berlin, Spaniards in Paris, Brazilians in Lisbon.

Read guides and experiences

Draft guides on bureaucracy, housing, jobs, healthcare. Real experiences from people who've made the transition.
