Today, any destination in the world is virtually just a ticket away, but you need some crucial info about a destination before you visit there; especially if you plan to stay for a while. For us, like many other nomads and expats, it’s definitely the quality of life and cost of living bit. Here’s how we manage.
We use Mercer´s Mobility Exchange rankings for industry-level accuracy in our hunt for information. But it has many other tools that are just as useful.

What’s Mercer´s Mobility Exchange?
Simply put, Mercer´s Mobility Exchange is a platform to globally share ideas on mobility products. It offers data solutions, market updates, along with expert interviews, mobility events, and training sessions. But you can use it in a different way—and get yourself some quality information before visiting somewhere new!
What kind of information can I get on Mobility Exchange?
Now you’re asking the right questions! Mobility Exchange has nifty reports on quality of living and cost of living—two of the most-used reports by us. This is what makes it ideal for us (and hopefully you as well).
-
Two-way approaches: On the one hand, you can use the reports to get clear, objective information on quality of living differences between cities around the world. On the other, you can use the location-based evaluation reports for a detailed description of local conditions based on factors that affect daily life.
-
Rankings based on on-going research: The quality-of-life rankings, although very consistent, are based on ongoing research on the topic. With the advent of Covid-19, it even introduced rankings based on safety. Sneak peek: Luxembourg is the safest city in the world (and it’s got free public transport for all!).
-
Housing solutions: “Expatriate housing with a perfect view.” Turns out, Mobility Exchange's catchline isn’t amiss. With tons of data on housing all across the globe, we sure find this feature handy. You can pretty much learn all that you need to for your next-trip housing needs here. There’s customized reporting, location information, and neighborhood selection, so you’re all covered.
-
Knowledge center: With articles and news related to, and affecting, expatriates, the Insights section has a collection of useful resources that you can use to your benefit.
That’s all we had to tell you about Mobility Exchange. We hope you will find it useful for your mobility endeavors. Have fun planning your moving about and let us know how it goes for you.
