Canucks Abroad
“It started with fear and a plane ticket.”
Hi, I’m Christine, and this is my life abroad with my daughter. We document our expat journey from Yuncheng, China to Tirana, Albania, sharing weekly vlogs about real expat life, cost comparisons, cultural insights, and practical advice for families considering life abroad.
Beyond our personal story, I also share insights as a relocation consultant—helping others navigate visas, payments, and the realities of moving abroad with clarity and confidence.
Our cozy corner of Albania also features our pets — a bearded dragon, a Pomeranian, and a Chihuahua — bringing you a mix of everyday life, peaceful moments, and authentic glimpses into our world abroad.
So grab your coffee and let’s dive in!

🚨 LIVE STREAM ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
We’ve been keeping this trip under wraps… unless you’re a Patreon Member or caught a certain livestream weeks ago, you don’t even know it’s happening. The guesses have been flying (Kosovo? Montenegro?) — but the truth will be revealed LIVE.
🗓 Friday, 4 PM CEST / 10 AM New York (EDT)
📍 Location reveal — somewhere else 👀
⚡ Important: Playback will be disabled. If you miss it live, you’ll have to wait until the full video drops.
This is your one chance to be part of the reveal in real time. Don’t miss it!

New Month, New Free Tool! 🛠️
I’ve been building a library of workbooks and quizzes to help with the relocation process, and I’m officially starting a "Free Tool of the Month" for everyone signed up on the website.
This month’s feature:
The Albania Cost Calculator.
If you’re planning a move, "average" prices you find online can be misleading. This tool helps you find your number by looking at:
• Hyper-local rent: Specific ranges based on the neighborhoods you actually want to live in.
• Lifestyle layers: Whether you're a "cook at home" person or a "dining out 5 nights a week" person.
• The "Hidden" costs: From internet and utilities to the small stuff that adds up.
It takes about 3 minutes and gives you a personalized monthly budget estimate so you can stop guessing and start planning with actual data.
• Current Site & Patreon Members: You already have access to this and the full library in the vault!
• Free Subscribers: You can use this specific tool for free until May 1st, when it moves into the vault and a new featured tool takes its place.
Get your personalized budget here: canucksabroad.co/en-eur/pages/featured-tool
