Living the dream….Expat Life

by Nicole Webb

My latest piece as a columnist for Expat Focus

bags29297291

Sawadika!

Checking in from the land of smiley, happy faces….
One of the undeniably pleasant perks of being an expat in Asia, coupled with having a husband in hotels, is the opportunity to fly to idyllic destinations like Phuket in just a few short hours and revel in 5-star luxury.

I get it… I’m lucky! Very!

I will even go so far as to use the word ‘spoilt,’ as I sit here trying (in a lazy, half-hearted kind of way) to wrestle my sleepy gaze from our villa’s private plunge pool that is beckoning me to immerse myself in its crystal clear oasis.

Yep!… livin’ the dream!
