Ana Galabova, who is originally from Bulgaria and is now settled in the USA, and Igor Kravchenko who came to the US from Ukraine as a child and now travels the world extensively for work, join Helen Thompson on this episode of Stamp Your Passport, brought to you by MetLife Worldwide Benefits.  Together, they dive into the whole adventure of settling into a new country – the ups, the downs, and all the exciting new stuff that comes with it!  And as we’ve learned from Metlife’s newly released 2024 Expat Employee Benefit Trends Study, which is available now, globally mobile employees are facing a series of seismic macro shifts in the working landscape - from rapid inflation to increasing geopolitical tensions.  These challenges have a huge impact on a spectrum of work and life moments and are unique to being on an assignment – employees who work in their home country don’t typically experience similar challenges. Therefore, the level of care needed by expats varies greatly.  So press play and make sure you don’t miss this fun and insightful episode of Stamp Your Passport, brought to you by MetLife Worldwide Benefits.
