I'm an American expatriate bursting with enthusiasm to GET OUT AND EXPERIENCE OUR GLOBE! Here's what the Wall Street Journal said about my blog: "EMPTY NEST EXPAT saw her youngest daughter leaving for college as the opening of a window of opportunity to see the world—one that might only last for a decade or so before her kids start their own families. Parents looking for inspiration to help them see their empty nest as a ticket to pursue new dreams would do well to start here...Her blog makes a fun read for anyone looking for reassurance that change can be a wonderful thing..." The London Telegraph said "Empty Nest Expat is one of the top places to go for expat advice and resources." Daily Sabah newspaper in Istanbul named 'Empty Nest Expat' an Ultimate Expat Blog in Turkey! All contents(c)2014
