About

Franziska

Hi, I'm Franziska! Rooted Abroad grew out of my own life between places.

I come from a migration background, live in Norway, have roots in Greece, and move regularly between countries. Over time, I have lived and worked across different languages and cultural contexts. Some languages I speak fluently, others imperfectly. What matters to me is not mastery, but relationship.

Living between cultures has shown me how deeply context shapes how we think, relate, make decisions, and understand ourselves. Even when we are open and experienced, transitions can be subtle and challenging. They affect identity, confidence, and our sense of home.

I am an HR professional and organizational coach with over ten years of experience in international and agile work environments. My coaching is informed by organizational psychology, systems thinking, and lived cross cultural experience.

I work with consent, transparency, and honest reflection. We slow things down enough to understand what is happening beneath the surface and move at a pace that respects your nervous system and your real life constraints.

Rooted Abroad is for people who want to build belonging without losing parts of themselves in the process.

Services

Whether you are planning a move, in the middle of transition, or have been living abroad for years and want to feel more grounded again — there is a way to work together that fits where you are.

1:1 Coaching

Individual coaching for people living, working, or moving abroad. These sessions focus on emotional resilience, identity, and practical adaptation. We explore what it means for you to live between cultures and how to stay grounded while navigating change.

The Grounding Journey

A six week guided group program for 6 to 8 participants. The Grounding Journey is designed for people who want depth and connection in a shared setting. The group offers continuity, reflection, and the experience of not having to explain everything from the beginning.

The program includes live sessions, journaling prompts, peer circles, and digital materials.

Investment: 390 to 590 € per participant

Talks and Workshops

Shorter themed sessions offered online or in person. These formats are designed for organizations, teams, and communities working across cultures or supporting internationally mobile people.

Topics may include:

  • Building Belonging Abroad
  • Reclaiming Confidence after Relocation
  • Cultural Transitions and Emotional Growth

Format, duration, and depth are adapted to the audience and context.

Writing

Restless Lines is written for people who live between cultures — expats, third culture kids, digital nomads, and cultural nomads. The essays explore roots, transitions, identity, and what it means to belong without standing still. I am committed to publishing regularly, but sometimes words come more easily than others.
