Where it started...
Why THD exists...
THD is where I share the real side of moving abroad as an American in the UK. Not the polished version. Not the fantasy. The real one. The culture shocks. The mindset shifts. The family adjustments. The grief, relief, and reality checks that come with leaving the US and building a life somewhere that works differently. I talk a lot about healthcare, schools, food, work culture, public systems, safety, and quality of life—but underneath all of that, this is really about one question:
What kind of life are people actually meant to live?
