The July/August 2012 issue of FOCUS, the magazine of the community for expats and international professionals living in the UK, features an article by Heike Stengel and her colleague Jeanne Heinzer. Entitled "From Surviving to Thriving: How to Live Your Best Life in the UK", it provides food for thought about how to make the most of all aspects of life as an expat.
