Hi, I'm Olivia
Project manager. Parent. Expat living in New York, United States.
A few years back, I moved here with my family. What began as a temporary contract gradually evolved into a new chapter of life abroad.
How It Began
Moving to United States wasn't part of the long-range plan. Like many expat relocations, it started as a job opportunity and soon grew into something far bigger.
The early months were demanding — unfamiliar systems, new routines, higher expectations. Day-to-day tasks felt tougher than expected.
The Adjustment Phase
There was culture shock, doubt, and plenty of learning through practice. Gradually routines took shape. We found places that suited us, connected with other families, and began building something that felt steady.
Why I Created SernTulDenum
Most information online was either corporate relocation guidance or shallow tourism content. What was missing was an honest, everyday family perspective.
This site aims to bridge that gap — practical guidance grounded in real life in United States.
What This Site Is About (And What It Isn’t)
This site is:
- Hands-on experience from living in United States
- Centered on family life and daily realities
- Updated whenever there is a real change
This site isn’t:
- A resource from a tourism authority
- A platform for sponsored reviews
- Just another generic travel blog
Looking Ahead
Our time in United States continues, and so does the learning journey. As long as the information remains useful, I’ll keep sharing what we discover.
If you have questions about family life in New York or anywhere in United States, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Olivia
