Mothers Abroad

When changing countries every two or three years how can we build a group of support? How can we meet other parents without our kids going to school? How do we navigate differences in legislation between countries?

It is a strange feeling to look into your child eyes without knowing if you will see them again. 

A piece of my heart will always stay in South Korea where we lived for a couple of months.

The celebration I enjoyed most in China was definitely the Mid-Autumn Festival, 中秋节. And not just because of the delicious Moon Cake we ate :) 

 I took 28 flights in the first 18 months of my daughter's life and amongst them 10 were long distance flights with up to 7 hours of time difference. Here is the thing: I HAVE SURVIVED. Do you want to know my strategies?

« Where are you from?… « where are you from? » 

You know that question, don’t you? The question that many Expats and Third Culture Kids don’t know how to answer…

The first time I traveled with my 5 weeks-old baby I was terrified. I'm sure you know that feeling: you don't know what to pack, what to expect

I keep asking myself: does she remember?

Here is the reality: no friends, no job and you don’t really like it there … yet. Will you ever like it? 

Before my daughter was born people would ask me « In which language you will talk to her? ». The truth is I had no idea. I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t know the answer to this question.In fact, I was also very curious about the answer.
