Hi, I'm Victoria

I'm an American living in the UK (for the second time!) and the writer behind A Life Away. I started this blog to help fellow Americans travel with confidence and make sense of the life abroad journey. Whether you’re planning a visit to the UK or a big move abroad, I'm here to help you make the most of your experience.
