Robin Scherbatskyâs journey in How I Met Your Mother feels familiar to many expats.
⨠She proudly carries her Canadian roots, yet adapts to New York lifeâblending humor, ambition, and cultural identity.
But like many living abroad, Robin faces:
đ Distance from family and a father who struggles to understand her new world.
đź The clash of ambition vs. connectionâlong hours, loneliness, and questions about belonging.
đ Humor as her shield, turning cultural quirks and struggles into resilience.
Robin shows us what so many expats feel: the push and pull between home, career, and connection in a foreign country.
đŚ At Expathy, we believe no expat should navigate these highs and lows alone. Thatâs why our therapistsâexpats themselvesâunderstand the unspoken realities of life abroad.
