US Mom in Spain – Make Money Online – Move Abroad – Travel with Kids
Violet
Hi, I’m Violet.
I’m a digital marketer and mom of two living in Spain, helping women build location-independent income and create a better life for their families abroad.
After realizing the traditional American hustle wasn’t designed for moms like me, I built a realistic plan, moved overseas with my daughters, and created online income streams that work from anywhere.
This blog is for moms who want to:
- Move abroad with clarity, not chaos
- Make money online in a way that fits motherhood
- Raise their kids in a safer, slower, sunnier lifestyle
Here you’ll find practical guides, honest insights, and tools to help you go from thinking about leaving the U.S. to actually doing it.
