A year ago, I was in the middle of waiting to get confirmation of the offer of this job, which has led to me being out here now. Between then and now there have been dark days, thanks to the pandemic and all, but overall a year on, I’m out here, largely settled in and have the six-month milestone coming up in a month’s time. Being an expat was something on my bucket list many years ago, so finally getting to do that properly is something I am grateful for.
