My name is Jane. I'm an English-born expat currently living in Johannesburg, but as with most things in my life, it is a little more complicated than that. My first expat experience was living in Paris and working as a teaching assistant at a lycee. I was only there for a year, but it gave me a taste of living overseas. Seven years ago I fell in love with my American diplomat husband, and we haven't stopped moving since!

My first child was born not long after we moved to Luxembourg. As far as I was concerned, it was love at first sight. If my daughter seemed a little different from other kids, I put it down to the fact that she didn't speak the language. We made plans for our next move to La Paz, Bolivia, and I gave birth to my son two months before we left Luxembourg.   more ...

What a deep question right off the bat! My name is Caroline Collie, and I'm an American married to a South African I met in Scotland. We work for a charity called Samaritan's Feet and have one delightful little Scottish-African-American son, and another on the way this month!

I first moved to Edinburgh, Scotland in 2005 to be a part of a team starting a church there. I studied and worked in Edinburgh for four years. While there I met my husband, who is South African, and about a year and a half into our marriage we decided to spend some time in SA before eventually settling down in the States (at least we think that's the plan.) So we packed up and moved from Scotland to South Africa in 2009, hoping to spend more time with his family and to have a positive impact in an amazing country.   more ...
