Hi, it’s nice to meet you!

Moving halfway around the world was a bit like watching this elephant: exciting, but also quite nerve-wracking. The upshot of that journey was creating this blog to document what I’ve learned along the way.

Now I write for people like me:
💸 budget-conscious tourists keen to explore the Netherlands and Sri Lanka,
🏠 expats trying to put down roots.

If that sounds like you, stick around for the ride!
