A little about me, John Arnold
I was born in Birmingham England and have had wanderlust in my blood since a very early age. I was a square peg in a round hole in my town and so I set sail for Australia as a "Ten Pound Pom" aged 22. Since then I have traveled around the world. Now, retired from my mechanical engineering career in 2012, I have decided to, yet again, embrace change and move on; but to where?What does the word “expat” mean?
An expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of their original citizenship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpatriateEmail Subscription
