About
Modern Expat Magazine tells the stories of the people, places and opportunities shaping life abroad, starting with Thailand.
Real people, real stories
Moving abroad is one of the most exciting, and disorienting, things a person can do. We started Modern Expat to cut through the highlight reels and show what building a life overseas actually looks like: the founders, the freelancers, the families and the friendships.
Every story, interview and guide we publish is here to help you feel less alone and move with more confidence. And because community is where it all happens, we partner closely with SocialGryd, the app where our readers meet up, join activities and find their people in real life.
