Hi, I'm Olivia
I work as a project manager, am a parent, and I currently reside abroad in London, United Kingdom.
A few years back I moved here with my family. What began as a short-term assignment gradually became a new chapter of life overseas.
How It Started
Relocating to United Kingdom wasn’t part of the long-term plan. Like many expat moves, it began as a work opportunity and quickly became something much bigger.
The first months were intense — new systems, new routines, new expectations. Everyday tasks felt more complicated than they should.
The Adjustment Period
There was culture shock, uncertainty, and a lot of learning by doing. But slowly, routines formed. We discovered places that worked for us, met other families, and started building something that felt stable.
Why I Built Yekan Ovi Axemo
Most information online was either corporate-level relocation advice or surface-level tourism material. What was missing was honest, day-to-day family perspective.
This site exists to close that gap — practical guidance based on real life in United Kingdom.
BEGIN_OUTPUTWhat This Site Does (And Doesn't)
This site is:
- Hands-on experience from living in United Kingdom
- Centered on family life and daily realities
- Updated whenever something truly changes
This site is NOT:
- Not a tourism authority resource
- Not a sponsored review platform
- Not a generic travel blog
Looking Forward
Our stay in United Kingdom continues, and so does the learning process. As long as the information remains useful, I will continue documenting what we discover.
If you have questions about family life in London or anywhere in United Kingdom, please feel free to get in touch.
Cheers,
Olivia
London, United Kingdom
