"Change is hard for me but I love the idea of a new life."

Accidental expat Alison Emerick on the expat's dilemma, on recognising that your family has become your home, and on raising third-culture kids
2

I always love speaking with people who follow their curiosity to create a life filled with movement and change, and those conversations are even more intriguing when the people I’m speaking with have made it their life’s work to encourage other people to seek adventure too.

Alison Emerick is an American photographer, writer, and accidental expat navigating life abroad with two small children. She shares insights on family travel, expat life and parenting abroad through her Instagram and Youtube channel. This year she’s moving her family from Bali to Portugal to embark on a new European adventure.

Please enjoy this conversation with the inspiring Alison Emerick.
