Curious to know what life is like as an expat in Finland?
If so, join Allie and her guest, Shelly of Your MEscape, in this week’s episode as we chat about Shelly's experiences living abroad in Finland for over 20 years, what it's like raising a child abroad, and her life and travel coaching business!
Shelly is a self-professed yoga and coffee snob that loves to help people! She's lived in Helsinki, Finland for 27 years, has raised a child there and her claim to fame is that she brought the coffee-to-go concept to Finland.
Her goal as a life and travel coach is to empower people that are stuck in autopilot to take action to kick-start the transformations that they want to make. These changes can be to their lives or in their careers. She aims to encourage and support others in finding themselves and making concrete plans for how they can make changes.
