HubExpat Stories
Career & expatriation, told without filter. Real journeys, real wins — and real failures too.


I no longer recognized the woman in my mirror
This is Kelly's story. An American mom of two daughters who left everything behind to follow her husband to the Netherlands. She thought she was heading toward an adventure. She didn't know she would first lose herself along the way. Behind the beautiful photos and the dream of living abroad, she went through something that so many experience in silence. Today, she has the courage to talk about it — with raw, deeply human honesty.

From the Desert to the Birth of HubExpat
Five years ago, I closed the door of our Parisian apartment, my heart beating with a mix of apprehension and excitement. Destination: The Hague. For our family, it was the adventure we had been dreaming of for years, a professional opportunity for my husband, a new playground for our children, and for me, a leap into the unknown. What I didn’t know yet was that this new life would shatter my certainties, only to allow me to build something much bigger.
