It's hard to leave a life you love behind. But Global Nomads like Caroline Giffon often do — far behind. In her expat life, Caroline has moved 17 times, 8 of them international moves.

The expat life seems so glamorous, with new adventures awaiting each transition. But it's also so challenging to uproot your life — even your identity — every few years.

It can even be a very real source of grief.

To help other Global Nomads, Caroline founded Girafe Coaching, where she teaches expats how to live a life they'll love.
