Published!!!

I was recently invited to submit an article for Pink Pangea, a women's travel blog. Needless to say, I was thrilled! I agonized (ok, I exaggerate slightly ... but I did think about it for a few weeks) about how to fit what they wanted -- travel advice for women -- with my own writing, which focuses more on daily life in a foreign location. I finally settled on a topic and am pleased with the resulting piece. You can read my submission here.

Happy Birthday!

A few months ago I discovered ExpatWomen.com, and my only regret is that I didn't know about the site sooner. This week the site is celebrating its third anniversary; I've been in Turkey three-and-a-half years, and definitely would have benefited from from the site during my first few years, as I struggled to adapt to my new expat life! But better late than never; I especially love the links to other women's blogs!

Anyway, Happy Birthday!
