[It’s a sad commentary on the state of social media but I’m at the point where I have to lead with the disclaimer that I DO NOT accept sponsored posts or ‘unique guest posts written specifically for my site’ by writing mills, or on behalf of your client(s) in travel and other industries. I. DO. NOT. So please do not even attempt to send me an email because I will then be forced to write a post about you, and it won’t be pretty…]

Great information, this is what expats are looking for.
Thanks! Hope you like both Parts I and II of Sharing the Expat Wealth. I checked out your site and have added it to my list of expat info/support sites.
A big thank you for allowing me to read your blog and enjoy your writing style.
My pleasure. Thanks for the vote of confidence, I’m glad you’re here.
This was a ‘from the heart’ article. I fully understand your anger and disgust as nearly every parent has at one time or another been through such episodes.
Thanks Henry. Strangely enough the anger lessened somewhat as the enormity of the cheating became apparent. It wasn’t a case of a difficult game that didn’t go their way. Realizing how it was playing out left me more shocked and stunned. Then you really do sit there wondering why someone would want something so much that they’d be willing to cheat for it. Sure, some anger and irritation remained, but mostly sadness.
Living in a foreign country is always an experience in itself. One has to have the stamina to make a ‘go’ of it and be flexible to adapt. I also had a spell of living outside my country or origin and never regretted this experience. Actually it made me stronger and gave me a chance to be more tolerant.
That’s a great insight Henry. I do believe living outside your home country can make you more tolerant, if you are willing to explore things that are different. My father made a comment today about someone in Belgium riding on the ‘wrong’ side of the rode – a simple slip that made for an easy way to explain it was only wrong if held to his American standard of how things are done. If you’re willing to do that, you open yourself up to learning so much about the world. And I think it can also make you appreciate where you come from, too. Thanks!
Hi Linda,
Wanted to say I really enjoy your blog. Being from Canada and now living in London, a lot of it rings true for me. I was wondering if you accept guest posts at all? I’ve got a few ideas that I’m looking for a home for.
Cheers
Yours
Mike Curtis
Hi Mike, thanks for the kind words. To date I’ve only had 2 guest bloggers (both of whom I approached). I haven’t really thought through a ‘guesting policy’, but will do so and contact you via email.
Your website popped up on mine via Blog Clans so I decided to check it out. I’m glad I did. I like your style of writing, at least the few posts I’ve read already. I liked it so much that I added your site to my Expat Sites list.
I see you have a lot of Expat sites on yours and I hope to be able to check out most of them, particularly if you have any from the Philippines. I have not check them all yet, but I did notice there was a lot.
Looking forward to checking your site out on a regular basis.
Why thank you UJ for the kind words. I don’t think I have a blog from the Philippines on my blog list; I’ll wander over and visit TexaninthePhilippines.com soon.
I just discovered your blog and I am interested to hear more about your renetry into the US. I am still outside the US. I have no plans to return any time soon and what I found most interesting is I live on Saba, one of the munciplaities of The Netherlands, we’re in the middle of the Caribbean.
Hey Colin, welkom, glad you stopped by. I must confess I didn’t know about Saba, but when I saw the pictures on your blog AND realized the official language is Dutch, I’m seeing a visit sometime in my future! Anything to enjoy a tropical island and practice my mediocre Nederlands! Keep blogging, I’ll add Waiting for a Boat to Come to my blog list.
