The Starting a New Life series was created for dreamers, nomads, expats, retirees, families, and anyone ready to begin again abroad.
As someone who knows what it means to start over in a new country, I believe the right guidance can make even the biggest life changes feel manageable.
After moving from Paris to Los Angeles, I experienced firsthand how exciting—and at times disorienting—relocation can be. That journey shaped my mission: to create practical, honest guides that help readers move abroad with greater clarity, confidence, and fewer costly surprises.
Through the Starting a New Life series, I share step-by-step insights on planning, lifestyle, and the real-world dynamics of settling into a new country. My goal is to make the relocation process feel less overwhelming and genuinely achievable for anyone ready to build a life overseas—whether in Portugal, Spain, or Italy.
When I’m not writing or teaching French, I travel with my family and spend time with friends. I also enjoy exploring local hiking trails, taking Zumba classes, reading, and attending live concerts, comedy shows, or seminars.
