That’s the question Kristen Fischer asked herself before taking a life-altering leap. Leaving behind what she called an “average” but comfortable life in the United States, Fischer moved to India with her husband Tim and their three daughters in 2021. Four years later, she says she has no regrets—only gratitude.
In a now-viral video posted to Instagram, Fischer shared the soul-searching moment that spurred her family’s move. “I knew I had control of which direction to take my life. I could choose an average life in the USA, or I could choose to do something bold and extraordinary,” she said. Their decision, as it turns out, became a story of purpose, reinvention, and heartfelt connection with a country they now call home.
A New Chapter
Since settling in India, the Fischers have documented their life through vibrant videos showcasing their cultural explorations, street food trials, small-town joys, and even the emotional journey of adopting a daughter with special needs. “In these past four years, I have met some amazing people, seen some incredible places, had some awesome food, and changed my heart forever,” she wrote. “India has changed my life, and I will never be the same.”
The couple’s content, shared through their joint Instagram page, offers more than just picturesque visuals—it shares a worldview that places meaning over routine, and courage over comfort.
The Business of Living Differently
Their bold relocation wasn’t just emotional; it made practical sense too. In another video, Fischer broke down the financial logic behind their shift to India. She and Tim run a web development agency that serves mostly Western clients. “We earn in US dollars and spend in Indian rupees,” she explained. “It’s simply easier for someone from the West to move to a place like India, where the cost of living is lower. It allows us to stretch our earnings and grow our business.”
Their strategy highlights a growing trend among digital nomads and young families: reimagining lifestyle and work in ways that break the mold of traditional success. “Plus, we get to live in a country we love. Seems like a win-win to me,” she added.
Kristen and Tim Fischer’s journey from the suburbs of America to the vibrant chaos and calm of India has resonated with many online. “You only get one life,” Kristen reminds her audience. “How will you live it?”
