Self-Made Expats?

Hi fellow expatriates,

There are so many people who went to another country because their company sent them. I would also like to meet other self-made expats (who decided to expatriate
themselves and their family rather than being sent to another country by
their company).

I hope we can share stories and tips!

I come from Girona in Spain, and moved around a lot, Portugal, France, Spain again, and finally (so far) Lima. Found a nice place to live, love and work. Not making tons of money like other expats do, but I am happy.

What’s your self-made expat story?
