Life abroad, translated in real time

Real stories, honest reflections and practical insights…

Living in Translation is a space for anyone building a life between cultures. It’s about the everyday reality of expat life, the moments that don’t make it into glossy guides, and the quiet work of creating a sense of home somewhere new.

Through personal stories, practical insights, and honest reflections, I share what it really looks like to raise a family, build community, and find your footing in a different country.

Here you’ll find:

  • honest stories from expat and family life

  • practical guidance on settling into life in the Netherlands

  • reflections on identity, belonging, and starting over

  • ideas for building connection and community

There are plenty of guides on where to go and what to see. This is about how it actually feels to live it.
