We’re an Aussie expat family of five who have fully embraced the expat lifestyle! Having met in the UK back in our early 20’s, me (Kelly) and my husband (Anthony) spent a lot of years travelling the world before returning to Australia to get married, buy a house and have kids….

But after 10 years of practical Aussie living, we knew it was time to return to our true passion – travel!

As a teacher, Anthony had the opportunity to gain work at an international school, making me an official ‘trailing spouse’. We’re now onto our third international school – and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
