OUR INSPIRATION
In order to thrive as an Expat in a new country, we often find that the more flexible, open-minded and sociable you are, the more successful you will be at assimilating to your new home. We took our inspiration from Mother Nature and discovered that Starling Birds have all of these qualities. They are incredibly social and are often found flying together in large flocks called murmurations. Sometimes, other species of Starlings or even entirely different species of birds can also be found traveling together in these 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 truly inspire the Expat lifestyle!

OUR STORY
Jamie – I’ve been through three major moves and I can tell you it gets easier, but you have to devote time & effort into finding that place of contentment, maybe even bliss. I´m still not there, but I´m enjoying the journey.
Marisa (contributing writer) – I have been living and thriving as an Expat in Munich for almost 10 years. After making the personal decision to move from California to Germany for love, I quickly realized that living in another country was an entirely different experience than visiting or working in another country. I have learned a lot about myself over these past few years, but more importantly, I learned that the definition of HOME is not necessarily a place, but a feeling within yourself. My hope is by sharing with you any tips I have gained while living as an Expat, I can inspire you to find your HOME no matter where your journey takes you!
