LIFE UPDATE : 2018
first
the belle is not abroad
{Unless, of course, you started following along while we were living in London and then yes, we're now abroad in the USA!}
We officially left London late summer and spent a few months traveling the world before settling back in North Carolina. It's not abroad but we still love traveling + escaping abroad to new destinations -- so I'm keeping the name! The Belle Abroad is here to stay.
what's next
life in north carolina
You may not know that we actually moved to London from NC -- so this is home to us! When we decided it was time to leave London, *bittersweet tears*, we knew North Carolina was the only place to go! We love living so close to our family and friends.
I am excited to share our life here with you but if you're here for all the travel inspo and tips, fear not, I still have the travel bug!
But if you also LOVE all the other things...fashion, beauty, home decor, fitness...stay tuned -- I am excited to expand my creative content here at TBA.
and...
getting personal
I never expected moving back to North Carolina to be harder than moving across the ocean to another country...but it is.
I should have been a little prepared for it, our families and friends kind of all predicted it, but I thought it would go smooth, easy, natural. Truthfully, it has been everything but. Don't get wrong, I want this -- we chose to move back + honestly, are really excited about it. Just maybe expected a lot of that excitement to overshadow all the hard bits.
I'm still working through this transition phase but would love to hear from y'all -- if you have tips about adjusting to or from living abroad.
