Hi, I’m Alyssa.
I’m a Latina, bilingual mom, and the face behind Casa Bolaños. After years of dreaming “what if,” we moved our family out of the U.S. to raise our kids in Colombia. And it’s been the best decision we ever made!
On my blog you’ll find FREE resources on moving abroad, world schooling and raising global kids, navigating immigration, and travel throughout Latinoamérica.
Whether you’re curious about moving abroad, traveling with little ones, or just want to follow along, welcome to our family ❤️
