So 17 years ago, my husband and I set off with our little family in tow, embarking on a short-term assignment in Taiwan.

Although without any knowledge of expat life or the Taiwanese culture, we took the chance and decided this would be an exciting little adventure; little did we know it changed the direction of our lives forever.

So here I am with seven postings under my belt and countless hours flying back and forth between my life in Singapore and my children in Australia.

Truly Expat was created; to advise you on all things about expat living.
