Episode Details

Navigating the holiday season as an expat comes with its own set of challenges, especially when you're living thousands of miles away from family. In this episode of Abroadly Speaking, I'm diving into how my family and I have celebrated Christmas over the years while living abroad, from renting cozy ski chalets in Switzerland to inviting everyone to us instead of flying across the U.S.

I share stories of juggling long-haul flights with a small child, the magic of European Christmas markets, and how we've found joy in creating new traditions while staying connected to loved ones. If the thought of missing family during the holidays is holding you back from moving abroad, this episode is full of tips on making the season special—no matter where in the world you are.
