Hello, I'm Olivia
I am a project manager, a parent, and an expat living in London, United Kingdom.
A few years ago, I moved here with my family. What began as a temporary assignment gradually became a new chapter of life abroad.
How It Started
Moving to United Kingdom wasn't in the master plan. Like many international relocations, it began as a job opportunity and soon grew into something far bigger.
The initial months were demanding — unfamiliar systems, new routines, new expectations. Everyday tasks seemed more complex than expected.
The Adjustment Period
There was culture shock, doubt, and a lot of learning on the job. Yet gradually, routines took shape. We found places that worked for us, connected with other families, and began building something that felt stable.
Why I Built Bold Studio Crest
Most online information was either corporate relocation guidance or surface-level travel content. What was missing was a candid, everyday family viewpoint.
This site is designed to fill that gap — practical advice drawn from real life in United Kingdom.
What This Site Is (And Isn't)
This site IS:
- Practical insights gained from living in United Kingdom
- Centered on family life and daily realities
- Updated whenever something truly changes
This site ISN'T:
- A tourism authority resource
- Sponsored review platform
- A generic travel blog
Looking Ahead
Our time in United Kingdom carries on, as does the learning journey. As long as the information remains useful, I will continue documenting what we find.
If you have questions about family life in London or anywhere in United Kingdom, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Best regards,
Olivia
