Hi, I’m Alyssa.
I’m a mom, writer, and the voice behind Casa Bolanos. After years of dreaming, our family made the leap from the United States to Colombia — and we haven’t looked back. This blog is where I share the real, unfiltered story of raising bilingual kids, worldschooling, navigating immigration, and finding home in unexpected places.
Whether you’re curious about moving abroad, traveling with little ones, or just want to follow along — welcome to the house.
