This weekend the two of us went to a very nice Thai restaurant because it was our 10th expat anniversary. During dinner we discussed all the pro’s and con’s about being an expat, and the “how would your ideal life look like” question. Good food, good discussion, next evaluation in 10 years time. Will keep you posted.
We moved 5 times in the past 10 years (not something that quite fits in my “ideal life picture”) and have seen a lot of the world (something that definitely fits in our “ideal life picture”).
So far we lived in
Singapore (Feb 2001 – Sept 2003)
Fairfax, Virginia (Sept 2003 – Feb 2006)
Irving, Texas (Feb 2006 – July 2007)
Prague (July 2007 – Aug 2010)
Doha (Aug 2010 - ?)
We’ll see if we can keep up the pace.
