Hi, I’m Violet!
I’m a divorced mom of two from New York City (who moved from New Jersey) living in Spain and thriving with my two daughters, who were 5 and 10 at the time of our move
I am the proud founder of YourMomFriendV.com, which started as a support vehicle for divorced moms for me, and became a relocation resource dedicated to helping moms who, like me, want to confidently move their families abroad from the U.S. Everyone kept asking me, “How did you do it?!” So, here we are! 🙂
After successfully relocating to Spain with my two daughters, I experienced every step of the journey firsthand, from choosing the right visa and finding schools to navigating healthcare, housing, paperwork, and building a sustainable income abroad.
Now, I share all of my research and first-hand experience, and help other families avoid costly mistakes and make their move with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore the idea or you’re already planning your relocation, you’ll find practical guides, honest advice, and trusted resources to help you move abroad with confidence, not overwhelm.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
Cheers to new beginnings!
xoxo,
Violet
