Our family has lived in three countries, and each move has taught us a lot about friendship, culture, and communication.

I've moved my family across three countries, from Australia to Switzerland to the United States, and before each move, I romanticized what starting over would look like.I imagined charming cafés, weekend adventures, and eventually finding a like-minded new community.What I didn't anticipate was that making friends would be one of the easier parts of our moves. Instead, the real challenges were the invisible ones, like navigating unfamiliar healthcare systems, securing suitable housing, and carrying the mental load of rebuilding everyday life from scratch.Each move taught our family something different about what it really means to start over.Trying too hard to make friends often backfires
Even though we now live in different time zones, taking time to check in with friends has been worth the effort.
