"I’ve helped hundreds of people think more clearly about what it really takes to build a life abroad — from the practical steps to the emotional adjustment no one talks about enough."
As someone who knows what it means to start over in a new country, I believe that the right guidance can make even the biggest life changes feel more manageable.
After moving from Paris to Los Angeles, I experienced firsthand how exciting — and at times disorienting — relocation can be. That experience shaped my mission: to create practical, honest guides that help readers move abroad with greater clarity and confidence, and fewer costly surprises.
Through the Starting a New Life series, I share step-by-step insights on planning, lifestyle, and the realities of settling into a new country. My goal is to make the relocation process feel less overwhelming and more possible for anyone ready to build a life abroad, whether in Portugal, Spain, or Italy.
When I'm not writing or teaching French, I enjoy traveling with my family, spending time with friends, going on hikes, reading, taking Zumba classes, and going to concerts,
