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.

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
