Not From Around Here

Guest post–The accidental expats

November 17, 2009 · 2 Comments

I have answered some questions about my strange expat life in an interview on ‘The Accidental Expats’ site. Please do go read the link and see some interesting factoids about how I ended up here as a stranger in a strange land! And note, thanks to Twitter I am finding intriguing expat blogs faster than I can add them to the listing, so please do not stop checking and please do remind me if you need to be added!

    Your comment in that interview about it being unusual for people to move abroad alone made me stop and think. I did it, but now I realize I don’t think I know any other expats over here who moved here on their own. They may not have arrived with a fellow expat, but they arrived to BE with someone. Hmm.

      Exactly, everyone I know either came with a partner or came to meet/have a relationship with someone they had met previously. I came for a job. I seem to recall you moved for educational reasons. Apparently this is just not nearly as common!
