Hello, I'm Charlotte
Project manager. Parent. An expat living in Toronto, Canada.
A few years ago, I moved here with my family. What began as a temporary contract gradually became a new chapter of life abroad.
How It Began
Relocating to Canada 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 Transition Phase
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 Created SageCliffMeadow
Most information online was either corporate relocation guidance or surface-level tourism material. What was missing was an honest, day-to-day family perspective.
This site exists to close that gap — practical guidance based on real life in Canada.
What This Site Is (And Isn't)
This site IS:
- Hands-on experience from living in Canada
- Centered on family life and day-to-day realities
- Updated whenever a real change occurs
This site ISN'T:
- A resource for tourism authorities
- A platform for sponsored reviews
- Just another generic travel blog
Looking Ahead
Our time in Canada goes on, and so does the learning journey. As long as the information remains useful, I’ll continue documenting what we discover.
If you have questions about family life in Toronto or anywhere in Canada, don't hesitate to contact me.
Cheers,
Charlotte
Toronto, Canada
