Living abroad will shock you at times, stress you out, leave you in tears and will also be one of the most exhilarating and fulfilling experiences of your life. Maybe you’re thinking of living abroad, maybe you already do or maybe you just like hearing about what others are up to.

So without further ado, I’m thrilled to introduce you to my brand new series, Expat Chitchat, where each month I’ll interview an expat blogger who will share what life abroad has been like in their corner of the world. First up is the lovely Mathilde of Le Blog de Mathilde: Lifestyle, Food & Travels in the USA, a French woman living in the U.S. (Boston to be exact).
