1. I share stories about moving abroad, living in another country, leaving home, and finding home. 2. You can fine me at The Expat Diaries https://theexpatdiaries.substack.com/ 3. I'm looking for guest posts from people who have lived abroad (at some time in their lives, even if that time is not right now) for a section of my newsletter called "Dear Me, From Here: Letters to Our Younger Selves." The idea is that you send a letter to your younger self (who hadn't yet moved abroad) and you tell her what you know now that you didn't know then. What is the big burning question in younger you's mind that would make all the difference if she knew the answer? What advice, warnings, encouragement, or funny stories would you share with her? What moments or lessons from your journey would you want that past self to know? What would she most want to know if she got a letter from her future self? Your letter can be serious or lighthearted, candid or poetic — as long as it tells a story that only you could tell. Something under 2000 words. If this sounds like fun or like something you'd like to write and post for your own substack and are OK with a cross posting situation with The Expat Diaries? I'd be up for that too!
