Introduction

Hi! I'm originally from Seattle, USA and am currently living back here. In the past I've lived in Europe & Asia. My husband & I both enjoy traveling, but even more we love to live abroad. Which is good since I'm American, my husband's Russian, and at any given moment at least one of us is an ex-pat! For me, the opportunity to settle in, put down roots, make local friends & experience the daily life of a different culture is the greatest adventure ever! We moved back to the US from Japan in 2007, but I consider this just a temporary stop on our way to somewhere new. Or maybe back to Japan...I really fell in love with village life on Shikoku! By profession I'm an Expat Coach. Being a serial expat myself I well understand both the excitement & the frustrations that come with living in a different culture. Through coaching I offer this understanding & experience to other expats to support them in more fully & richly enjoying their lives abroad.

I joined expat.com on 11 May 2010.
