Expat Culture Shock Survival Journal: 90-Day Reflection Guide

Surviving Culture Shock Without Losing Your Mind

Moving abroad is wild. One minute you're having a romantic European moment, the next you're crying in the supermarket because you can't figure out which bin is for recycling.

This journal gets it.

What's Inside:

✨ Prompts that actually help - Process the overwhelming moments, celebrate tiny victories, track what's getting easier

🌍 Real talk, no toxic positivity - Space to vent about bureaucracy nightmares, homesickness hits, and cultural confusion

📅 Monthly check-ins - See your progress over 90 days (because some days you just need proof you're not going backwards)

💪 Bureaucracy battle log - Document your admin victories so you can help the next expat (and remember you survived)

🎉 Small wins tracker - Because finding the right bus stop on the first try IS a big deal

Perfect for:

• Expats in their first year abroad
• Anyone feeling lost between two cultures
• People who need permission to have both good and terrible days
• Journalers who want prompts, not blank intimidating pages

What You Get:

• 11-page printable PDF journal
• Ready to use immediately (print or fill digitally)
• Prompts designed by an expat, for expats
• Clean, beautiful design that won't stress you out

How to Use It: Print it once and use for 90 days, or print multiple copies of your favorite pages. Fill it in when you're having a "why did I move here?!" moment, or when you finally figured out the coffee ordering system. No rules, just reflection.

Moving abroad is one of the bravest things you'll ever do. This journal helps you remember that on the days when it doesn't feel brave at all.
