Long story short, I made the move during the pandemic and it was one of the only places with open borders. Landed here, fell in love and stayed.

Such a great book!

Good idea!

2/ who discuss the same things but haven’t had much luck finding many of them. I think they’re making their way over here. Do you know any other accounts that could be added to this “starter pack?” Thanks for your help and I look forward to staying connected. Where are you based?

Hi Lisa! It’s great to meet you. My name is Courtney, the creator of Black Expat Stories. I left the U.S. in 2021 and moved to Mexico. Sounds like we are on the same mission! I’d love to create a “starter pack” here with some key Blaxit-related accts to follow. I’ve been searching for others 1/
