Meet KRISTINE
Hi, I’m Kristine — the voice behind Kris Beyond Borders.
I’m a late-blooming, first-time mom, certified foodie, and a CPA-turned-English teacher- visual storyteller who swapped spreadsheets for languages when life called me across the world to France. These days, I juggle motherhood, expat life, and a never-ending quest for balance — all while finding joy in the little things.
Here at Kris Beyond Borders, I share the real, unfiltered side of living abroad and raising a family far from “home.” From stretching a budget, planning meals on the fly to sneaking in a little me time, my goal is to give you tips, inspiration, and a sense of community.
Whether you’re a fellow expat mom, a dreamer planning your move overseas, or just someone looking for ways to simplify life without losing the fun, you’ll find stories, resources, and a friendly voice here. Life abroad isn’t picture-perfect. It’s messy, beautiful, challenging, and full of surprises. But with the right mindset, it’s also incredibly rewarding.
Because life beyond borders isn’t always easy — but it’s always worth the adventure.
Let’s make it easier, together.
