This website is here to help, to inspire, to empower, and to show you that the time abroad is a great opportunity for personal development if used right.

Most mothers struggle with juggling the different roles in their life. How to enjoy work while also caring for children? How to deal with public opinions about being a good mother? How to encounter colleagues at work who diminish your level of commitment? Many academic papers are researching the manifold challenges of motherhood.
