Meet Victoria
I’m a US American mom, former lawyer, and travel enthusiast who has moved out of the US twice! I’m currently based in the UK, and have lived in between London and Brighton with my family and pets since 2021. I travel around the country as much as possible, with a goal to see all of the major highlights and uncover hidden gems that aren’t on the standard tourist trails. Read more about me and how I got here on my About page.
Whether you want to travel in the UK like a local, or move abroad yourself, I’m here to help you explore!
Ready to start your own life away? I’ll help you shortcut the research process and plan with confidence! Find your perfect place in Europe and make this the year you move abroad.
