Welcome

It Takes Toons to flourish abroad.

Whether you’ve moved from sunny Lisbon to rainy London or from historical Boston to the ‘alternative scene’ of Berlin, a life in a different country is exciting, widens your horizons and opens up new possibilities.

But there are also challenges and that’s why It Takes Toons to cross the cultural divide and live your best life abroad. These are the main scenarios I come across (click on the question to see more):

A life abroad can be an amazing and enriching experience but you may be unsure if it’s the right thing to do for you at this stage in life. Or maybe you have already decided to move abroad but are unsure what steps to take next or how to tackle the various challenges of moving your life to a different country. In the sessions, we will explore what is important to you right now to help you get clarity and make a decision. Whether you’ve decided to move or stay, we will work together to create a plan to make your dream a reality so that you can live the fulfilling life you have envisioned.

Moving abroad can be an exciting time but apart from language and cultural barriers that can make dealing with daily life trickier than back home, it can also feel overwhelming, lonely and hard to fit in. Plus, it can be difficult to know what to focus on with all those new possibilities on offer. The sessions will equip you with the insights and tools to navigate these challenges with confidence and purpose, give you new perspectives and help you hone in on what’s important to you, so that you can make the most of your new life abroad.

You may have lived abroad for a while, it now feels ‘normal’ and you feel stuck as to what’s next for you. You may be pondering a new job, a career change, a move to another part of the country or even a move to another country or back ‘home’. To help you make this big decision, we will work together to achieve clarity for you about your next important goal and equip you with the tools you need to plan and navigate the next steps with confidence. Whatever you decide, you will feel empowered to make the next move towards enjoying a content, fulfilled life.
