Message from Andrea

Hi Everyone! Wonderful to have you with us. This month we talk to: Carol Bellamy, head of World Learning and former Executive Director of UNICEF and the US Peace Corps; British entrepreneur Anupa Horvil, who is creating beautiful luxury accessory products in Vietnam; and Angelina Hart, creative director of the beautiful DVD series for children The Little Travelers.

Thanks go to: Amanda van Mulligen, for her article A Career Change Abroad; Robin Pascoe, for sharing her Family Matters Survey Results; Nina Cole for her data on Male Expatriate Accompanying Partners; and our Expat Girlfriend for her answer to the confession My Teenagers Are Not Adapting.

Great news for our members in the UAE: the main internet service provider in the UAE has finally unblocked our site and we invite you to access all of our stories and features again now.

Congratulations go to Siobhan (a Canadian in Egypt) for this month's Winning Story: Expat Wife Blues. Do you have story for us? We always need more stories Here.

Finally, if you have a business that targets expats, we encourage you to get in touch with us to enquire about our very reasonable advertising rates. Your support genuinely makes a difference.

Thanks and wishing you a fabulous November,

Andrea
