We’re Pressing Pause Here — and Opening Something New for You
A better, richer way to read International Living—plus a special offer just for Substack readers.
Hi everyone,
Over the past few months, we’ve loved posting here — sharing personal stories, dispatches from our writers around the world, and glimpses into the lives of people living abroad. Substack has been a wonderful space for conversation and connection, and we’re grateful you’ve been here with us.
But as IL takes on some big new projects, we’ve had to make decisions about where we focus our time and creative energy. After a lot of discussion, we’ve made the decision to pause posting on this Substack channel for now.
That said, this isn’t the end — far from it.
We’ve just launched something brand new.
A completely redesigned, reimagined International Living magazine experience — something more immersive, more modern, and more useful than anything we’ve done before.
This new experience includes:
A fresh, beautifully updated design
A smoother, easier reading experience on all devices
Articles laid out like a true digital magazine
Monthly issues delivered directly to your inbox
Bonus stories, guides, and on-the-ground insights
Access to our full digital library
It’s everything we loved about this Substack — and much more.
A thank-you gift just for our Substack readers
To show our appreciation for being early supporters of this space, we’re offering an exclusive special offer for Substack subscribers who want to join us on the new platform. Click here.
This offer is only available to people who followed us here, because you were the first to say: “Yes, I’m interested in stories of life abroad.”
What happens next?
This Substack will remain here as an archive of past posts, and you’re welcome to revisit anything you enjoyed. But going forward, all new IL stories, dispatches, and magazine issues will be shared through our new platform.
If you’ve liked what we’ve done here, we think you’ll love what’s coming next.
Thank you again.
Thank you for reading, commenting, sharing, and simply being here. This community means a lot to us — and we very much hope you’ll join us in the new space.
