Welcome and thank you for stopping by!
Here on my blog, you’ll find more personal articles covering my expat life and travels. Moving overseas to become an expat is a life-changing, challenging, and absolutely enlightening experience.
If you’re thinking of moving overseas, I can help. On my blog, you’ll find general advice, country-specific expat resources, and stories from other expats and myself.
I consider myself to be a serial expat.Â
You can check out all the places I’ve lived and some recommended articles on My Expat Timeline.

I sincerely believe that expats make the best tourists.
Expats delve deeper into our host country’s culture than a tourist is able to do. We also appreciate a locale more than a native tends to, just because everything is new and exciting!
I love to share the entertaining and inspiring moments of my expat life. Sometimes, I’ll also let you know about the tough parts. But, mostly, I think it’s important to share the facts and then to share the good stuff.
Look – there is plenty of negative crap to read about in the news and on many other blogs. But you won’t find me complaining (often) about places or businesses here. Just because I don’t like something certainly doesn’t mean you won’t!
In fact, some of the things that I absolutely hate will be things that you might unabashedly love. We’re all unique, so let’s embrace that.
On that note, I love that travel creates bonds between different cultures and countries.

Travel connects people on common humanity.
Living overseas as an expat grants you a unique perspective into another culture and another way of life.
If you’re lucky enough to be welcomed into another country to live, it becomes your responsibility to learn about your new home. Show interest, ask questions, try to learn the local lingo! It’s all part of the adventure.
I’d be happy to have you join me on my wonderful expat journey.
