Hey there—I’m Carli!
I traded sunshine and braais for cloudy skies and stroopwafels when my family and I moved from South Africa to the Netherlands. Suddenly I was an expat mom of two, with no grandma around to teach me Dutch lullabies or sneak me coffee. Expat Mama Club is my love letter to every mama who’s ever felt the tug of home and the thrill of adventure at the same time. Here you’ll find real-talk stories, soft-landing strategies, and a community that cheers you on—because motherhood abroad is hard, but it’s also magic when we do it together.
