Life Abroad

An ordinary day in the mysterious Caucasian land called Armenia (where I expatted for six years) — a day I toiled away at writing a romance novel. An ordinary day without a world crisis but featuring a dead body and a bit of dancing and drinking in the end.

Humorous quotations about expat life and travel. Have a laugh about the different perspectives and opinions about life abroad. Some pearls of wisdom, some fake.
