BIG NEWS: I’m launching a new service

If you’ve been following my journey, you know how much I believe in finding your place in the world, no matter where it is.

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll soon be offering 1:1 consultations to help you with your next big adventure—whether you’re planning a trip, getting ready to move abroad, or already settling into a new country.

Forget generic advice—we’ll work together on a plan that’s tailored to your unique situation, covering both practical steps and emotional strategies to help you feel grounded and build connections.

  • Moving to Sweden felt overwhelming at first. I didn’t know where to begin, what to expect, or how to navigate the different process. That’s when I stumbled upon Karen’s blog, every article helped me feel more informed and less alone in the process. What I appreciated the most was how relatable and real her content felt, she shared not just the “how,” but also the “why” and “what to expect,” which gave me a realistic view of life in Sweden itself. It’s amazing how one well-written blog posts can feel like a conversation with someone. I remember so well how we talked about the dreaded POEA process and how frustated we are on that agency. Glad to have stumbled at your blog and get to connect and finally met you.

  • Before moving to Sweden, I had no idea where to start or what to expect. The blogs on Karen’s site somehow gave me a clearer picture of what I needed to prepare and really helped with my relocation here. I even sent an email with a few personal questions, and she kindly responded. Such a big help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are these consultations for?

My consultations are for anyone navigating a big change abroad—whether you’re traveling, moving, or settling into a new country. I’m here to help if you’re planning your next move, need a boost of confidence before you go, or are already living abroad and feeling a little overwhelmed by the emotional and social adjustments.

How do I book a consultation?

The booking service is coming soon! When it launches, you’ll be able to schedule your 1:1 consultation directly. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned for more details and the official launch announcement.

What’s included in a consultation?

Each session is completely tailored to your unique situation. We’ll work together to create a personalized plan that covers everything from practical steps to emotional strategies for a successful journey. Following our call, you’ll also receive a follow-up email with key takeaways and helpful resources.

How are your consultations different from a travel blog or guidebook?

My blog is a great resource for general advice and inspiration, but my consultations are a personalized experience. In a 1:1 session, we can dive deep into your unique situation to create a tailored plan just for you. We also go beyond the logistics to focus on the emotional side of your journey, which is something you can’t get from reading a blog post alone.

How should I prepare for our session?

The best way to prepare is to simply think about what you want to achieve from our time together. Consider any questions you have and what your biggest challenges are right now. This will help us make the most of your session, but don’t worry about doing a lot of extra work—just come as you are!

What topics can we discuss in a session?

We can discuss any topic related to your journey abroad. Some common topics include:
1. Practical Logistics: Visas, documents, finding housing, and packing lists.
2. Emotional Support: Handling culture shock, loneliness, and building a new community.
3. Mindset & Resilience: Developing the confidence and inner strength to thrive during your transition.
The session is yours, so we’ll focus on whatever you need most!
