Expat Life

Moving abroad isn’t always sunshine and aesthetic cafés. It’s visas, loneliness, culture shock—and also joy, discovery, and growth in ways you never expected. Here, you’ll find raw, honest stories from melanated expats who’ve lived it: from figuring out healthcare and housing to finding belonging in a new country. Whether you’re dreaming of leaving, already packed your bags, or just curious about what life on the other side looks like—we’ve got space for you here. These aren’t just guides. They’re reflections, lessons, and reminders that you’re not alone in this journey.
