Have you ever thought about moving abroad? #Myexpatfamily

A family on a beach - moving abroad

As this month we're celebrating our first whole year in Australia, I'm turning my attention to some freelance writing projects about the subject of emigration. I thought I'd use this post to ask you a question: have you ever thought about moving abroad? Whether to move as a family, work abroad as a couple, travel long term or even teach English abroad?If you've ever thought about doing it (even if you didn't really have the intention of following it through), what were the road blocks that . . .

Our first year in Australia!

Three kids on scooters after a year in Australia

Can you believe at the end of this month we've completed our first year in Australia? It feels like we've been here for way longer, yet it also feels like yesterday we said tearful goodbyes to our family and friends back in the UK. It has been the busiest 52 weeks EVER.The first three months were taken up sorting out all of the admin, finding a suburb we liked, looking at rentals, buying cars and picking a school for the boys and daycare for E. Then it was Christmas already! The kids . . . Keep Reading

Three children sitting on their Trunki suitcases

 The last time I travelled long haul, I found it really boring. I watched more movies than I thought possible and attempted to doze a few times.

I obviously didn't have children at the time.Fast forward five years - and three children - later and I was terrified about flying from London to Brisbane with our 4yo boys (who never sit still) and our 2yo (who has serious control issues about being . . .

Following on from part one of my emigration to do list (which covered everything we did before we left to UK for our new life in Australia), here is part two, which is an emigration checklist of all the things you need to do when you arrive in Australia. We were clearly deluded into thinking the hard part was leaving the UK. Of course, the emotional side of things was very difficult, and so was the sheer amount of admin we had to do to close our lives down. But nothing prepared us for the busy . . . Keep Reading

Emigration to do list: Part one

Stack of passports

Sorry for another long silence. I can't believe how busy we've been since arriving in Australia six weeks ago. I'm really hoping that things calm down in the next couple of weeks as I'm totally exhausted. I've got a few more family emigration blog posts to get out of my system before I get back to blogging about the usual family/travel/lifestyle things, so if you aren't interested in moving abroad with your family, please bear with me! It seems like a waste to go through something so epic and . . . Keep Reading
