Hi everyone - if you are here, you are embarking on a very exciting journey!!
My name is Victoria and Im originally from New Zealand. Before arriving in Dubai/UAE in 2008, I have lived and worked in Japan, China, Russia, Sweden and India. I have now officially lived longer outside of my 'home country' than in it!
I picked up a cricket loving English husband along the way, have 2 teenage daughters who were born and raised in Dubai as well as our oafish dog, Larry!
I'd say reinvention is key, flexibility is necessary and an open mind is incredibly valuable. I'd also say that your home country will always be there....so don't pine for it when you are living abroad!
