What if the “better life” you built abroad starts to feel like hard mode? 

Today’s topics:

moving to Barcelona without speaking the language (and crying in the rain about it)

rediscovering lightness in Asia after five heavy European years

why working in English sometimes feels like writing with someone else’s hands.

When is it time to slow down? Can you reinvent your expat life without burning it all down? And why do the sea and a cheap flight sometimes matter more than ambition? Polina and Julia are here – with stories, questions and no perfect answers.
