Hello! I’m Charmaine and I am a Canadian who lived abroad for six years straight. I moved home to Toronto, Canada in April 2018 after I learnt to appreciate my home city from my tough experiences abroad.
Prior to that, I have lived across three continents. During my third year of university, I left home for the first time and embarked on a study exchange to Singapore. When I graduated, I went to Quebec (a French region in Canada) and Paris to teach English to French students. After picking up some French and wanting a change, I decided to land in Hong Kong! I spent four years there, practicing my Cantonese, completing my Masters and worked in the education sector.
This blog is a collection of my experiences living in these cities as well as tips and advice to help you live abroad successfully. I want to take the things I (and others) have learned and provide them as a valuable resource for you!
So what are you waiting for? Let’s start sharing our experiences together!
I’m Charmaine, and I’ve lived abroad since 2012. My blog is to provide you the resources to help you move and survive in a new country. How did I get started? Find out
