Culture Happens – Ron VanPeursem Provides a Blog For Expats Living and Working Away From Home

May 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Ron VanPeursem has been living and working in cross-cultural contexts for over 20 years. His current position of Director of New Business Development for Mea Solutions has him living in North India. VanPeursem runs the Content Development Center which does the copy writing for Mea Solutions’ clients (visit http://measolutions.com). The Content Development Center was launched earlier this year, and is off to a very good start, with a highly motivated team of content writers working with VanPeursem.

VanPeursem reports that this working environment – far from his native United States – provides continual lessons regarding global business: what are the most important lessons that expats need to learn when engaging in business and social relationships in a cultural context that is not their own? VanPeursem’s new blog Culture Happens (http://www.culturehappens.com), is a platform for answering that question. Culture Happens is a fresh and relevant collection of posts and articles that address the real, practical challenges of living and working as expats. Culture Happens isn’t trying to sell anything. It’s simply a resource, born out of 20 years of experience, that is designed to bring expats together to engage in the challenging discussions about living as outsiders, while desiring to become more and more insiders.

Culture Happens has a section dedicated to resources: a growing list of websites, articles and blogs that will be helpful to those that are living away from home. The blog also has a Q&A section that is designed to invite intriguing questions, and get the expat community involved in discussing them. The blog is receiving some positive feedback so far, and hopes to become a frequent stopping place for expats interested in the journey toward local relevance and connection.
