Hello!
Would You Trust 30+ Years of Experience? I’m Melissa, Your Trusted Expat Emissary.
Moving to a new country can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. But with the proper planning and preparation, it can also be exciting and rewarding. That’s where I come in! I offer you and your family the seamless support, before leaving and on arrival, that I needed 30 years ago when I made my own transition from the US to Germany.
I was lost and overwhelmed.
Trying to master daily to-dos — filing for residency, getting stamps, seals, and permits at the city Rathaus (registrar’s office), flat- and job-hunting, and maneuvering unfamiliar territory by bicycle and public transportation to get to appointments was arduous. Despite years of studying the language, my tongue became a knot. My eyes bored holes in the ceiling many a night. A gradual stretch (eons later!), and I was able to bridge the chasm between expat confusion and cultural integration.
It could have been much more manageable, even painless, had I had a trustworthy, resourceful “someone” to show me the ropes and ease the way. Some 30 years later, I am just that person I had wished for.
Having a soft place to land in a new country is invaluable. Today, the least I can do is encourage you to enable yourself and your children the experience of visiting and living between castles, palaces, and churches. The best I can do is walk the first steps with you and celebrate the doors you open as you embrace your new life here.
If the insights of an American Expat can help you navigate and settle in like a local, I will be happy to know your wishes through our free 15-minute discovery call.
I established my business with the intent to turn the experience of relocating to this wonderful country around and make it an adventure for the whole family. Your input here will steer the outcome of the call.
