Loving life living abroad. Born and bred in the North of the UK, travelled as a student and then settled down in Dubai five years ago. Still writing and blogging about stuff what I find interesting and it happens to be related to being an expat. Hope my articles inform other fellow expats, travellers, nomads somewhere around the world.
