Hello and Welcome!

My name is Devyn. My husband and I changed course and packed up our comfortable lives in Philadelphia to move to Porto, Portugal in 2024.

Along with occasional general musings, I write about my experiences with the process as we were preparing to leave Philadelphia, and share our experience with moving and settling into a new country across the Atlantic.
