This is Your Expat Life
I'm so glad you're here.
I know what it's like to dream of giving your family an extraordinary life abroad while wondering if you're crazy for even considering it. That nagging feeling that there must be more to life than the traditional path, coupled with the fear of making such a big change – I've been there.
Your Expat Life grew from my journey and the realization that many ambitious professionals share this dream but don't know where to start. We're a community of parents, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who believe that geography shouldn't limit your success. Whether you're lying awake at night researching international schools, secretly browsing homes in other countries, or trying to figure out how to take your business global, you're in the right place.

About Sonaya Williams
I am Sonaya Williams. I'm a business strategist, global living advocate, mother, wife, and believer in breaking free from conventional limitations.
As a family, we chose to rewrite our story beyond borders.
I've learned that success isn't about staying in one place—it's about having the courage to take your dreams global.
My journey began like many of yours—building a successful business in the States, believing that was enough. But deep down, I knew there was more. I wanted my family to experience life beyond the American bubble, to give my children a broader worldview, and to prove that your success can travel with you anywhere.
In 2011, I made my first bold move, leaving my corporate job to start my own business. That taste of freedom sparked something bigger. I realized that building a location-independent business wasn't just about working from anywhere—it was about creating the freedom to live anywhere. Fast forward to today, and I've not only built multiple successful online businesses but have helped hundreds of other professionals do the same while creating extraordinary lives abroad.
Your Expat Life was born from this journey of transformation.
In 2011, I made my first bold move, leaving my corporate job to start my own business. That taste of freedom sparked something bigger – it became my passport to a truly global life.
My international journey began in 2016 when I moved to the UK for love, where I welcomed my first daughter. Within months, we embarked on our next adventure to Copenhagen with our 8-month-old, diving deep into Danish living. Copenhagen became our home, where we welcomed our second daughter in 2018 and unexpectedly found ourselves in one of the best places to weather the global pandemic.
Each move taught me different lessons about family adaptability, business flexibility, and the importance of listening to your children's needs – like our decision to return to the UK in 2020 when our daughter was struggling with language development.
Just when we thought we were settled, another opportunity called. In August 2023, we packed our lives again and moved to Qatar, proving that the expat journey never truly ends – it evolves with your family's needs and dreams.
These experiences haven't just been personal adventures; they've been masterclasses in:
Building and running businesses across multiple countries
Navigating international schools and education systems
Managing family transitions and cultural adaptations
Creating community in new countries
Understanding the real challenges and triumphs of expat life Your Expat Life was born from these real-world experiences.
Every strategy I share and piece of advice I give comes from actually living this journey—the victories, the challenges, and everything in between.
It's a space for ambitious professionals who, like me, know they're capable of more—whether it's building a business that transcends borders, giving their children a global education, or creating a life rich with international experiences. Here, we're redefining success through a global lens, focusing on what truly matters: freedom, family well-being, and living without geographical limitations.
I created this platform as the resource and community I desperately needed when I was lying awake at night, dreaming of taking my family abroad but feeling overwhelmed by the how. Here, you'll find real strategies, practical tools, and the support you need to build a location-independent business and create an international life that aligns with your values.
Let's make this journey together, and remember: Your expertise can take you anywhere in the world. Your family's global adventure is waiting.
