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 insights and stories to my inner circle.  But this lifestyle is so transformative, that it’s too good not to share.

By sharing travel stories, and expat experiences. 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 fact about me: 3 things I cannot live without.  My husband, my curiosity and WiFi (yes, in that order).  What are your 3?
