6 years of living abroad, moving our family from Tanzania to Mauritius and now experiencing life, something unexpected is happening:
We can actually see ourselves staying here.
In this video, I’m sharing our first impressions of  this area, what’s surprised us about everyday life, the infrastructure, family lifestyle, cost considerations, business opportunities, and why this chapter is already challenging some of the assumptions we had before arriving.
For our family, relocation has never just been about finding the cheapest country.

It’s about asking better questions:
🏡 Can we actually build a comfortable life here?
🌍 Does this location expand our global options?
💻 Can we operate businesses here?
👨👩👧👦 Does the environment work for a large family?
✈️ Does it give us access to the rest of the world?
💰 And most importantly, does the move make sense economically?
It was supposed to be an experiment…
Now?
We might have a problem. 😂
