We are a French family with two boys, now living in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, a place that offers a rare balance of modernity, safety, and openness to the world.

But before arriving here, we made a life-changing decision: to sell everything, leave everything behind, and set off to explore the world.
We spent 18 months traveling across 18 countries. And since then, we’ve continued to travel… just differently.

This lifestyle change was not an escape. It was an answer.
An answer to that quiet but persistent feeling that something needed to change. And a realization that we never truly know what tomorrow holds.

So we chose to be present, to enjoy life, and to create as many memories as possible with our children.

Gone To Live Elsewhere was born from this journey.
A desire to live fully in the present. To discover new places, understand different ways of life, and dare to move forward without controlling everything.

We chose to live differently, far from everything we once knew. And honestly, nothing has ever been the same since.

This journey transformed our lives forever.

Welcome to our world, a place inspired by travel, freedom, emotion, and the beauty of meaningful places.
