I arrived in Melbourne on January 6, 2007 to start my life as an expat. My husband arrived three days earlier. I needed to stay behind in Cebu for a few more days to take care of some important matters and to say goodbye to my family. After a somewhat emotional time in the airport, I took an 8-hour plane ride from Manila to Melbourne and arrived there early in the morning.

The good thing about the company that hired us was that they've already organized a house for us to stay in and if we would have wanted, we could have had it fully-furnished with rental items. We just chose to rent a bed and a fridge until we can buy our own. So essentially, we started with an empty house.

    About this page

    An EXPATRIATE (expat) is defined by Wikipedia as a person who is temporarily or permanently residing in a country or culture other than that of his legal residence or upbringing.

    My journey as an EXPAT started in 2007 when my husband and I got the opportunity to work and live in Australia. Four years since and our journey has taken us to China where we are currently staying.

    I originally wanted to create another site but decided to add this page to Foto+Food+Trip instead for easy maintenance and updating. My intention of creating this page is to tell you of my adventures and misadventures as a Filipino living in another country.

    I hope you enjoy reading this page as much as you enjoy my main BLOG.
