Work, work, work: The glamorous life of an expat

Expat life 05 November 2016

It has become apparent that when you live in another country as an expat you have but one sole role- to work. After all, what business do you have being there if you are not contributing to the country in any way shape or form? While on some level I...

Visitors in Singapore: Where to go with your guests

Asia 22 October 2016

There is nothing better than having visitors come see you when you have moved abroad. To have a familiar face, someone that knows you through and through. Where you don't have to be 'new person' you, you can just be... you! We didn't have any visitors when we lived in...

Zika in Singapore: Living in a city with Zika

Expat life,Travel 27 September 2016

About 3 weeks into arriving in Singapore, I received an email from my management saying there had been a case of Zika in the neighbourhood. Not just the country, but in the neighbourhood.

My London

Expat life,Travel 14 August 2016

Leaving London is always a hard thing for me to do. Not for holidays, obviously (who could be sad about escaping the grey, rainy weather), but for the long haul. I'm not entirely sure why, but I guess it's an indication that this place is home to me. It's where...

Airlines 101: best airlines to fly with

Travel 02 August 2016

It's our first Expat summer since moving to the Middle East. As a result of the 'hotter than hell' summer months, it is a necessity that all Expats evacuate. And so we did, for a month. Our month of travelling is almost over but in the past 4 weeks we...

Riva del Garda: The north of Lake Garda

Europe,Travel 15 July 2016

Riva del Garda is situated at the top north end of Lake Garda. Once a part of Austria and currently a part of the Province of Trento, it is the second largest town on Lake Garda. This is somewhat evident when you walk through the streets as it certainly doesn't...

Limone sul Garda, Lake Garda

Europe,Travel 13 July 2016

When life gives you lemons... Lake Garda is fantastic for little day trips as the lake is dotted with tiny little towns along its shores. The closest town to Malcesine across the lake is little Limone sul Garda, whose lights twinkle a wave to Malcesine each night through the darkness....

Malcesine, Lake Garda

Europe,Travel 11 July 2016

La vita è un sogno - Italian proverb Although I've been here before, it's hard to get bored of the scenery that presents itself to you. In front of you, you have the drastic cliffs of the Garda Mountains, part of the Southern Limestone Alps, as a backdrop to the...
