Sarah Emery Expat

Hi, I’m Sarah Emery.  A Filipina – British – American who’s exploring the world through an expatriate lens. Usually, I would only tell my inner circle my insights and stories.  But this expat lifestyle is so transformative, and too good not to share.

I hope to spark your sense of adventure, and curiosity about life abroad.  So much so, that you’re intrigued enough to engage with me on this shape shifting adventure.

Fun facts about me: 3 things I cannot live without.  My husband, my curiosity and WiFi (yes, in that order).  What are your 3?
