A long time ago, I left behind an idyllic English village on a semi-lunatic dream to live in 10 different countries (before I die). Welcome to the live abroad travel blog, my name is Danni!
Back when I hit country number one, Peru, I was too scared to even articulate this wish- but from the perspective of country 8, things look a touch different. Regularly a solo traveller, nothing beats the thrill I get of moving to a new country. I think of this as the ‘live abroad travel blog,’ but then some of the best experiences have also come from short term adventures, such as Antarctica (pictured).
In order, the countries I have been are here, click the links to read ‘how to’ and expat guides for each location:
#0- The UK just by being born
#1- Peru
#1.5 Bolivia – find out why this is only a ‘half’ by clicking the link.
#2 France
#3 Spain
#4 The Czech Republic via the Erasmus+ Programme
#5 Portugal tutoring English
#6 Iceland working for accommodation
#7 Italy as an au pair and find tips on getting hired here
#8 Australia on a Working Holiday Visa and then a Partner Visa
The best part about my travels is that I have the luxury of living abroad, learning the language and fully immersing in the experience. Far from starting with a millionaire bank balance, I’ve worked and budgeted everywhere I’ve lived. No matter if it meant roughing it in a tent in Iceland or milking goats in Peru, I’ve paid my way everywhere I went. This makes travelling much more enjoyable and it’s something I’d love for more people to experience.
This blog contains every hint, tip and trick I’ve learnt since the start. And if you think that’s too crazy a goal for you, remember you can take a short term working holiday, a study exchange, a gap year – the list is endless! Feel free to read through my (soon to be) 10 countries, ask questions, and browse the site for information.
Blogging for more than five years, all that travel has made me something of a visa expert and so whether you meet someone you love on the road and want to stay with them or you’re getting residency in a new country, the details are here. “Airport Layovers” is the place to get your wanderlust well and truly flowing and have you clamouring for a truly unique adventure. I also blog about short term trips and day adventures, so there’s something for everyone.
I surely don’t know everything, but I have experienced and researched plenty over the last few years and I’m sharing it with you. Check back here often for updates on my travels or more ways you can earn money while supporting your travel addiction!
