Hi, I’m Alley!
I’m a mom, a wife, and a soon-to-be expat with a big dream: to build a life that feels both intentional and adventurous. I started Alley Across Borders to document our family’s journey from the U.S. to life abroad — and all the meaningful, messy moments that come with it.
This blog is where motherhood meets passports, where remote work meets wanderlust, and where fear meets forward momentum. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could really make a bold change — move to a new country, work from anywhere, raise a family in a whole new place — you’re in the right spot.
Here, you’ll find our story, reflections on family life and change, practical tips for moving overseas, and glimpses into what it’s like to start over somewhere new.
Whether you’re just beginning to dream or already planning your move, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
Let’s cross some borders together.
