I remember being alone and crying on some occassions while sitting on the cold floor. I still didn't have my working visa then so I had to stay at home while Hubby went to work. The house was very big and empty (except for a bed and a fridge). It was always very quiet. I had no one to talk to.

I remember asking myself why I'm here and sitting on the floor when I had a chair to sit on in Cebu? I think it's normal for every expat who's just starting to settle in a new place to feel this way in the beginning. But at the time I thought it was a very sad experience being far from the comforts of home.

    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.
