Actually living here
Finding a place, finding your people, and the little lessons that help a new city feel less new.
oh, hi. I'm [Your Name]!
Two suitcases.
A new city.
A slower life.
The person behind the notebook — finding a little more home in unfamiliar places, one ordinary day at a time.
Here's my story ↓
The person behind the blog
I came for
I came for
something new.
I stayed for
the everyday.
Home doesn't always arrive all at once. Sometimes, it starts with a familiar face at the corner café.
This is the space for your story: where you came from, what brought you to a new country, and the moment it began to feel like home.
Slow Abroad is a notebook for the in-between. The first grocery shop. The words you finally get right. A meal that becomes a ritual. The days that don't look like much, but end up meaning everything.
Here, there's room for the beautiful bits and the messy middle — and for making a life at your own pace.

Inside my notebook
The life between
The life between
the big adventures.
the small stuff
is the good stuff.
is the good stuff.
A seat at the table
Local markets, everyday meals, and the cafés you return to until someone remembers your order.
Taking the slow road
Small escapes, long walks, and weekends with enough room to take a wrong turn.
