I boomerang between feeling that our perpetual international relocation is absolutely amazing, and feeling like I am missing out on having a tight community of people with whom to grow and learn. The diplolife can seem glamourous and amazing, but it comes with it’s own set of challenges. As a diploSpouse I am not provided the immediate community my spouse finds at work, my life happens in a foreign language, and I spend A LOT of time alone (with my dog). So, this blog is dedicated to the highs (ie: viennese balls & skiing in the alps), and lows (ie: isolation & challenges living in a foreign country) of being a diplomuse.
I will leave you with a 2000 year old Confucius quote. “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” Although some days are difficult, I wouldn’t trade this life or my pack (partner + dog) for anything!
