Hi, Kari here and founder of My Expat Moments!

I’m your typical red flannel sporting, maple syrup loving, friendly Canadian from Victoria B.C. I started the immigration process to the U.S. in early 2020. Soon after and in the midst of a pandemic, I moved countries again. This time to South Korea with my husband who’s serving a 2+ year overseas work assignment.

Since leaving Canada and a job I worked hard for behind, I had to shift my career focus to adapt to life abroad. I currently am self-employed providing digital marketing services for technology consultancies in the U.S., or any business looking to engage and connect with their online audience while promoting their products and services.

Back home in Canada, I was in the health and fitness industry for 8 years as a certified fitness trainer and yoga instructor. I provided nutritional assessments and support to clients looking to build healthy diet habits. My education is in Business with a major in Marketing, and my work experience includes 10+ years as a public servant delivering programs and services that support the community. Using my experience and the passion I have for helping people, I built this online expat wellness platform.

Living abroad is a surreal experience. It doesn’t matter if you left home to follow your heart, work internationally, study abroad, or chase that wanderlust feeling. It’s an incredible experience that takes you out of your comfort zone, grows you as a person, and leads to a better understanding of yourself and other cultures.

Thanks for visiting our community – we look forward to connecting with you!
