‘My journey as an expat child began at the age of 7 – today I accompany others on their journey.’

This is me at age 10 – an expat child in the 1970s

The day before yesterday was the fifth anniversary of my father's death. It still feels like it was just yesterday... My parents fled Hungary for Switzerland as teenagers in 1956 – under life-threatening conditions, traumatised, but full of hope and belief in freedom for themselves and their descendants.

With courage, hard work and gratitude, they built a new life for themselves. To this day, they remain role models for me and my children.

I was able to discover the world at an early age – first Brazil, then many other places throughout my life.

An expat life that has shaped me:

✅ Openness

✅ Adaptability

✅ A deeper understanding of people undergoing change

But also:

❌ Uprootedness

❌ The eternal search for the ‘right’ place

Until I realised: I don't have to fit in somewhere – I can fit in with myself. It's not a place, it's a feeling!

Today, as an relocation coach, I accompany people who are in the midst of a new beginning.

Emigrating is more than just organisation. It's emotion.

Anyone who takes the plunge knows them all:

 ➡️ Euphoria

 ➡️ Overwhelm

 ➡️ Homesickness

 ➡️ Self-doubt

 ➡️ Curiosity about the new

More and more people are at this point.

 - And they need more than just checklists. They need someone who understands them.

Have you experienced emigration yourself?

What was your most challenging moment – and what was your best?

I look forward to hearing from you.
