You moved abroad for freedom, adventure, and a better life. But now you’re here… still working a 9-5, dreading Mondays, and trying to balance work, travel, and the people you love. And somewhere along the way, it doesn’t feel like what you imagined. This is for women in their late 20s and 30s living the expat life but quietly wanting more from it. Here we talk about what happens after the move - when real life kicks in, identity shifts, and you start questioning what comes next. Honest conversations, real stories, and reflections on building a life that you don't need a vacation from 🦋
