(This is super late. But people have been asking for an update, so here it is…all of it.) It’s been a while. A long while since I’ve written. And there are a lot of reasons for it. But mostly because I haven’t known what to write about. And… because...
EASE OF COMING BACK We’ve been home for about a month now, although it feels like it’s been much longer. And not in the dreadful sense of something that feels like it’s been forever because of how draining it has been. I have to say that coming...
Hey there! It’s been a minute. I’ve been home for about a month now, and I haven’t blogged in a while. Because truthfully, I wasn’t sure what to write about. I’m still not sure. I’ve always been an expat blogger in Malaysia, but I’m not anymore. I’m an expat...
Let’s be real… America is the eye of a shit storm right now, and who knows when things will change. Like millions around the world, we watched the debacle – I mean the debates. Also, like millions, I have never felt more uncomfortable, more anxious, and more...
Last week I wrote about all the things I miss about living in America. But that left me feeling very unbalanced. There are a lot of things I absolutely DO NOT miss about living there too. There are some things I really hate about America. So, this week’s blog is the...

Hey, I’m Kirsten❣️
I’m a Chicago girl who was living in Penang, Malaysia with my hubs, Mark until 2022.
In 2013 we were sick of the rat race and decided to move across the globe and rewire our lives. It was the hardest decision. But it was also the most rewarding one.
On my blog, you’ll find practical, down-to-earth info about the realities of expat life. It’ll help you avoid the mistakes we made. My goal is to teach you how to handle the ups and downs and the ins and outs of moving overseas.
Since we lived in Malaysia, there is a ton of info on the blog about life here and all the extraordinary adventures we get up to while living in Asia. But since moving to Puerto Vallarta, I’ll be writing about our misadventures here.
