Survey of Americans Abroad

Americans abroad are a diverse group of people and Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels, an American who works as a Lecturer in Migration and Politics at the University of Kent, Brussels, wants to tell their story. As part of her research work at the university, she is conducting a survey on Americans abroad.

The purpose of the project is to learn more about who Americans living overseas are and answer questions such as: How long have people lived overseas, and why did they move? And why, in some cases, did they stay? What jobs do Americans overseas have? Where do they plan to retire? The survey also looks at what links Americans have with the U.S., and how they have settled in to the countries they live in.

Please participate if:

  • you are a US citizen
  • you are currently living outside of the United States (you do not need to have ever lived in the US),
  • you are at least 18 years old and
  • you have either lived outside of the US for at least 12 months or are planning to remain outside of the US for a total of at least 12 months
  • The survey is completely anonymous and takes 20-30 minutes to finish. What is more, you can ask to be notified of results and related publications. Please share the link to the survey with other Americans abroad: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Americans_overseas

    I live in Stockholm. Before moving here I was a United States Senate staffer, where I provided legal and legislative advice on a wide range of subjects. I have an insider's understanding of Capitol Hill and I'm an experienced campaign operative. Today, I work as a public affairs consultant and I'm a regular lecturer at the Stockholm University Law Faculty.
