  1. I’m going to be honest: when you spend a long time in any country, the frustrations can build up, and you can find yourself hating everyone. That isn’t racism — it’s the same as when a local has a bad few days and ends up hating people in general.

    It’s just a cloud, and it does pass. I never actually hated the people; I was sick, exhausted, and having a bad time.

  2. Living abroad warps reality. Every day I push through language, closed shops, strange translations, and moments that don’t quite make sense.

    I see how lucky I am — English, a strong passport, freedom — while sitting in the same small Lao restaurant by choice, not because I’m stuck.

    Laos is messy, sometimes a shithole, but I am free. And that freedom feels like everything. #LivingAbroad #LanguageBarrier #ExpatLife #Freedom #Laos #SlowLife whothefami.substack.com/p/lang

  3. Hi everyone,

    I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

    My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

    I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

    In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

    Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

    Hope to keep interacting with you all!

    Tinder: 55 billion matches! What's the connection with FluentExpat?

    While Tinder and Meetic enable you to make romantic connections, FluentExpat allows you to meet your ideal language partner!

    What does that mean?

    Because we are social beings (it's proven), being part of a community is the precious key to successful integration.

  5. 2/2 You can acquire these skills in record time to be fully prepared even before moving to France.

    Tell me, what scares you the most about becoming an expat in relation to learning French?

    Looking forward to a meaningful exchange,
