Real Family Adventures from Ticino Across Europe
Honest stories and practical family guides for exploring with young children, grandparents, buggies — and all the belongings that come with them.
Expat Mom Journal began as a place to document our family life abroad. It has grown into a collection of real adventures, personal reflections and practical information for families who want to explore more — even when travelling with small feet requires a little extra planning.

Meet Our Family
We are a multilingual family of five living in Centovalli, Ticino. Our adventures often become multi-generational when the grandparents join us—bringing extra hands, different perspectives and even more memories.
Work With Me
Alongside documenting our family adventures, I collaborate with family-focused organisations and help small local businesses create a thoughtful online presence.
