Alright, I've had a little coffee. Here are a few more folks. Most (but not all) of them are definitely politically driven and leaving the US because of its political and social deterioration.
Karen is writing about her move to France after a successful career in event management in the US. Interesting and varied infirmation about life in France and diverse subjects as food and wine.
Thank you, lovely Kaila, for sharing all these fellow explorers—some already familiar and cherished, others still to be discovered (and to whom I’m heading to subscribe right away!). It means so much not to feel alone in this life beyond borders.
A heartfelt thank you for mentioning me with such kind words. I truly treasure our conversations, the reflections sparked by our posts, and the experiences we share!
I recommend including Kristin Fellow in this list. She writes about life in her small pueblo in Portugal and includes her amazing artwork in her posts:) https://portugueseinterlude.substack.com
We have 3 writers living abroad in Germany in our database. But no, we didn't feature any in this list. Germany is a notoriously difficult place to move to as a foreigner!
Thanks for your response! I lived in Germany for 40 years as an expat and am hoping to move back soon. Was hoping to hear what others are saying about their experience now. You are certainly correct about a difficult place to move to!!
Kaila, since he hasn't mentioned himself, I would recommend adding Dan Keane at https://www.american.nz/. He does a great job of exploring the difficulties and distortions of life in another country, especially in New Zealand.
Very cool. I'm in Portugal. I moved here from San Francisco 4 years ago with my partner, my (then 10-year-old) kid, a middle-aged mutt and a small but opinionated parrot. I've been writing about our move and our life in Portugal for almost 5 years now.
Oh how fabulous, Donna! I'm heading straight over to your Substack to subscribe and look forward to reading about your life in Portugal and your parrot's strong opinions 🤩
Oh my GOD! I feel like a celebrity! And truly honoured and dumfounded that I'm on there. Thank you my darling, what a crazy beautiful way to start my day 😍

Thank you for the shoutout! <3
De nada!
This is great! I live in Italy and write I’m about it as does Zerlina Maxwell
Thanks for the comment and suggestions, Kristen! We'll take a look :)
If you are including people who have moved abroad to travel full-time, I suggest Claire Polders' https://clairepolders.substack.com/.
Hey Michael, thanks for the recommendation! But I limited this list to people who live abroad in one place. 🌷
No worries!

Did I miss it or did no one move to Germany?

Oh neat! I hope you're able to find your way back, Alice. I'll keep an eye out for more people living abroad in Germany to add to our database!

Oh yes he's a good shout, thanks Gregory!
