Off to New York today with two of my dear Belgian friends!
As much as I love life in Virginia, there are things I still miss deeply as an expat—city life (the noise, the pace, the energy!) and of course, my Belgian tribe.
So this week, I will get a little dose of both:
Skyscrapers, yellow cabs, endless walking… and the kind of laughter that only happens when you’re with people who just get you.
Here’s to friendships that feel like home and cities that make your heart race.

Happy National Volunteer Week!
Volunteering at the (CAS) Chesapeake Animal Shelter in 2024 was one of the most heartwarming things I did last year.
As a European expat, I was struck by how deeply rooted volunteering is in American culture. In the US, it feels natural — like part of community life. In Europe, it’s often seen as extra.
Helping out gave me so much: purpose, peace, and lots of furry cuddles. I’ll never forget it.
Here’s to all the volunteers making quiet magic happen every day.

Expat tip of the week:
Start the week by doing one “local” thing — just for you.
Whether it’s grabbing coffee from that little place on the corner, signing up for a local class, or saying hi to a neighbor — these small steps are huge wins when you’re building a life abroad.
You don’t have to “feel at home” overnight. But the more you interact, the more your new place becomes your place.
This week, be proud of every step — even the tiny ones. You’re doing something brave and beautiful.
You’ve got this.

This summer, a lovely 17-year-old girl from Belgium is dreaming of spending one unforgettable month in the US, experiencing everyday life with an expat family who understands the beauty of cultural exchange. She’s French-speaking, open-hearted, and eager to connect, learn, and live like an expat local — not just pass through like a tourist.
We’re looking for a warm and welcoming expat family in Hampton Roads who’d be open to hosting her this July. In return, she’d be thrilled to welcome a US.-based teen to Belgium in August, with the exciting opportunity to also travel through France, Spain, and the Netherlands during that month!
Her Belgian parents will fully cover her travel, outings, and living expenses. All she needs is a kind expat family willing to open their home — and their hearts — for a short time.
If you or someone you know might be interested in this unique exchange adventure, please reach out. Let’s help make this dream a reality and create memories that span continents and last a lifetime.
Thank you so much, expat families in Hampton Roads!
Warm regards,
Ann
