Expat Blog in United Kingdom

Hi-ya! My name is Belinda and welcome to my blog. To tell you a little bit about myself, I am a 30-something newly married lady who in the summer of 2012 moved to the UK to be with my husband. I went from the rainy days of Washington to the rain of the United Kingdom. (Not much difference in the weather department!)

My blog is an attempt to make sense of my new world: being married, living with a guy for the first time and of course being an expat to the United Kingdom. I try to take life in stride with a bit of humor and grace. But trust me, I’m not perfect. Living outside of my comfort zone is a constant challenge for me, and this blog is my attempt to make sense of my world. I get frustrated as often as I have victories as a wife and an expat, and I try to share them honestly and openly here.

I believe in high heels, captivating books, amateur photography, seeing the world and laughing with my new husband.

I love testing my pins from Pinterest, in an effort to make my new home in Wales have a bit of my flare. I am powdered by plenty of Starbucks coffee and soundtracks to countless musicals and Glee. I am comforted by snuggles with our pup Freddy (even though he’d rather being playing catch). Being in the UK, I find myself loving authentic fish and chips and a cold pint of Guinness.

Thank you for spending time in my little corner of the world. Here you can expect honesty, laughter and plenty of adventure. Welcome, I am so happy to have you here!
