I'm "expat-since-birth" because ex-patria (“out of the home country”) since birth. In my blog I share my experiences about being expat, raising multilingual children in a multicultural context, multilingualism in general, everything related to twins, parenting and the different cultures I’ve learned to embrace during my life. I write about three posts per week, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on my work, family etc. All comments and feedbacks are very welcome in English, French, Italian, German, Dutch and Spanish!
