Living in 📍Thailand 🇹🇭

Y'all!! When I tell you, our lives have truly changed since moving to Thailand ! 🙏🏽🇹🇭.

Our household is so much more harmonious and now with having added support, I'm able to spend quality time working on myself (This is the most active I've been in the past 3 years), not feel burnt out and have date nights/brunch dates with the hubs. Something that we have not been able to do for a LONG TIME!!

While living in the U.S, I ran my business from home and we chose not to do out-of-home childcare for our son. We didn't have day to day support, so some days were a bit challenging.

If you are a parent, you know how life gets sometimes. There is soooo much joy in being a mom, though at the same time, we need to take care of ourselves, embrace support, so that we can be our best selves for our families and not be burnt out!

When I tell you, this is the quality of life I DREAMT of and now have, believe me. It's also the simple things, like the fact that I don't like folding clothes 👚and now I don't have to 🙌🏾. Or like, grabbing a fresh coconut down the street.

It's amazing how a change in environment can restructure your lifestyle. I've been to about 27 countries and chose Thailand at least for this season of our lives. Living here 🇹🇭 has truly been healing and refreshing; from the sense of community, the fresh foods, cost of high-quality foods & services, the inspiration I get on a daily, is truly incredible.

If you've been thinking about moving abroad or have been looking for a sign. This may be your sign 👏🏽. It does not have to be Thailand. Go where you are treated best and where aligns with your life/family goals and interests.

Don't overthink everything. I'm rooting for you, especially my moms out there ✨️❤️.

For those of you who have been asking about how to move to Thailand 🇹🇭 or abroad in general, I encourage you to check out my free training at www.momsmovingabroad.com #familiesthattravel #Lemon8Diary #livingabroadlife #movingabroadmadesimple #abroadtravels

... Read moreLiving in Thailand can improve your quality of life in numerous ways. This vibrant country offers a unique blend of culture, community, and cost-effective living. The warmer climate allows for an outdoor lifestyle where families can explore beautiful beaches, lush jungles, and vibrant markets. Additionally, the affordability of quality childcare and domestic assistance means that parents can enjoy personal time without the burden of daily chores. This enables a more balanced life, allowing for fresh coconut drinks from local vendors or quiet brunches with loved ones, enhancing your overall well-being. If living abroad has crossed your mind, embrace this opportunity! Thailand is not just a travel destination; it’s a nurturing home that inspires creativity and connection. From its rich history to its welcoming locals, it offers experiences that are both profound and uplifting. Don't hesitate—take the leap toward a revitalized existence and engage with the expat community that supports each other in this journey.
