I'm an American living in the UK, sharing the real side of moving abroad in midlife, raising a family here, and rethinking what I thought was normal about life in the US.

Culture shock, quality of life, family life abroad, and honest perspective on building a life in the UK.

What THD is about?

THD is where I share the real side of moving abroad as an American in the UK.

 

Not the polished version. Not the fantasy. The real one.

The culture shocks. The mindset shifts. The family adjustments. The grief, relief, and reality checks that come with leaving the US and building a life somewhere that works differently.

 

I talk a lot about healthcare, schools, food, work culture, public systems, safety, and quality of life—but underneath all of that, this is really about one question:

What kind of life are people actually meant to live?
