About Noelle

Who is Noelle?

My name is Noelle, and I’ve spent most of my life in the Washington, D.C. area. In 2016, I moved to London, England for just over a year—an experience that sparked the creation of this blog. Since then, I’ve ping-ponged between the U.S. and the U.K. for the past decade and currently call Cheltenham, England home.

I’m in my thirties and work full-time in the telecom industry. You’ll often see my college-aged son, Markell, and my husband, Mark, make appearances here as part of our shared adventures. I blog as a way to express myself and to share my experiences with others. When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me reading, watching TV, being a mom, baking or cooking, hiking, enjoying a glass of wine, or planning my next adventure.

Why did you start this blog?

I started this blog in early 2016 after relocating from the Washington, D.C. suburbs to London. Moving abroad had been a long-held goal, and after completing my MBA—while working full-time—I secured a consulting role in the telecom industry in the city.

What began as a personal reflection on expat life gradually evolved into a resource for practical travel tips and firsthand experiences across England and Europe. My goal is to provide thoughtful travel guides, honest reflections, and useful advice while going beyond the surface to better understand the places I visit and the experience of living abroad.
