The pandemic has made us reassess one too many thing - travelling being one of them. It has made us appreciate what we already have, while also making us realise what we may have taken for granted. Around the world, while some people are busy planning their next wishful holiday, others are looking to understand if they can relocate to another country altogether and never return. Some others are planning to go on a long holiday to some of their favourite global cities and are looking to understand how expensive they are. Just like many other things, the pandemic has also affected the expatriate life. In fact, according to the Expat City Ranking 2020, more than 15,000 expats of 173 nationalities have voiced their opinions about living abroad, and have listed the best and worst cities to live in as an expat.
