Kristen Fischer, an American mum of four, has swapped the hustle of the U.S. for the colourful chaos of India—and she couldn’t be happier. From spontaneous neighbourhood lunches to parks just a stroll away, Kristen’s life is buzzing, joyful, and surprisingly simple. She’s discovered a rhythm here that makes raising her four girls feel less like a grind and more like a daily adventure.
Living in India comes with perks she didn’t expect. Produce stands and shops are just minutes from her home, and there’s a gym a two-minute walk away for her and the kids. A daily-visiting therapist helps Nisha, her youngest, while a trusted house helper manages meals, chores, and childcare, giving Kristen the freedom to enjoy life rather than just survive it.
For Kristen, the heart of it all is community. She loves that she can drop by a neighbour’s house for a random lunch or watch her daughters build genuine friendships in a vibrant, welcoming environment. “Life is simple here,” she says, “my days are busy, but they’re full of life, laughter, and joy.”
Indian health care
This is not the first time she has heaped praises on India. Recently, she posted a video about how she suffered a thumb injury, but how affordable Indian healthcare is. Kristen Fischer, who lives in India, badly cut her thumb and struggled to stop the bleeding. She hopped on her bicycle, reached a nearby hospital within minutes, and walked straight into the emergency room. To her surprise, doctors examined her immediately, didn’t even need stitches, and the entire visit wrapped up in under 45 minutes.
The kicker? The bill. At the reception, Fischer was asked to pay just Rs 50—roughly 60 cents. She couldn’t stop comparing it to the United States, where even a quick ER visit can easily cost $2,000 (around Rs 1.7 lakh) before any procedures or medicines.
Fischer highlighted that this level of accessible, affordable healthcare is common in India. Clinics, hospitals, and doctors are often just minutes away, making emergency care quick and stress-free. For her, this ease and low cost made her feel safer living in India than she ever imagined.
Her Instagram video sparked widespread conversation online, with many agreeing that while India’s healthcare system isn’t perfect, its affordability and accessibility are simply unmatched, offering peace of mind most Americans can only dream of.
