  • Why living like a hermit crab simultaneously ruins you and makes you

    I am currently living in my third city abroad, and moving to another next month (eee!)

Anyone who has ever lived abroad, either permanently or…

  • Being an Expat: Expectations vs Reality

    Living abroad is an amazing experience and adventure. You develop as a human being, and have amazing stories to tell your future grandkids/anyone who will listen to you brag.
