THE INSPIRATION

The inspiration for City Starlings came from Mother Nature after discovering that Starling Birds are incredibly social and are often found flying together in large flocks called murmurations. Starlings are extremely adaptable and can thrive in a wide variety of environments. They will build their nests and roost in cities, suburbs as well as on farms. The Starling’s flexible nature can be truly inspiring. In order to thrive as an expat in a new country, we often find that flexibility, open-mindedness and a willingness to connect are the qualities that help you feel truly at home — wherever that may be.

 THE WEBSITE

City Starlings is your companion through the chaos of moving abroad and starting over in a new place. I share real stories and practical advice through the voices of locals and expats alike. Whether you’re exploring a new city for a few years or planting roots permanently, you’ll find some of the tools to not just survive the transition— but to actually find your anchor in a place where you might feel lost. Along the way, I explore holistic living, conscious choices, and the sustainable brands and spaces that make a new city feel like home.

Hi, I’m Jamie!

I’ve been through several major international moves and and here’s the truth: it gets easier. But you have to devote time & effort into finding that place of contentment (maybe even bliss). I´m not there yet, but I´m enjoying the journey.

A piece of me remains behind in each of these wonderful cities and I will be forever thankful!
