Chapter 1 - The boring one!! About me!
So did I ever think I would be here writing a blog.. Absolutely not! But I have to say I think my English teacher would be proud of me and I hope I listened during all the grammar lessons!
Did i always have itchy feet? No absolutely not I'm actually quite a home bird and love my village where I grew up however life has since taken me to spending extended amounts of time in Spain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, USA, Sinagpore, Bali, Thailand and UK. Things got a little bit more complicated when my daughter came along 4 years ago but it has made the journey although more stressful at times, more fullfilling than I could ever have imagined.
I'm excited to share this community with you all and as well as making it as informative as possible also, make it a safe space to tackle some of the more difficult aspects of Expat Mummy (or Daddy) life. That sudden longing for stability and security that comes with having children which isnt always understood by coporate employers. The toss up between securing their future by taking the lucrative job for a few years even if it means another international move for the family or an extended time apart. These are just a few of the topics we are going to discuss as I have at times felt very alone on this journey and very indescisive about what the best turn at the crossroads to take. We won't have all the answers but together we can support each other to work through life's junctions and find the positive around every corner.
Excited for what's to come!
