When we expatriate, we all ask ourselves: am I o.k.? Do I belong? Am I safe? What happens if an answer is no? Alternatively, as often happens, everything goes beautifully.
But we each move for different reasons that satisfy our souls, our core. These needs help us feel alive, of value. To find a spot where you can happily belong fills a primal need. Some of us may travel to attain that.

We, expats . . . immigrants, learn to be comfortable with the unknown. We search for answers and look for ways to meet people (new family, seed for belonging), we might need to overcome psychological and emotional impact of moving, and of course, make sure we/our partner/the kids are having fun. The list goes on. We are all going through these experiences, regardless of where we're from.

So, here are the lessons in our individual stories, by souls who have come a long way - us self-starters, creators, overcomers, entrepreneurs, founders. Thrivers. And the 'what did I just do-ers'. We're sharing the jokes and the major oops! so you can be encouraged and inspired on your life journey.
I hope you like it, follow it, and share it.
