A former News Reader with Sky News Australia in the beautiful harbour city of Sydney, two years ago my hotelier husband and I took a leap of faith and upped stumps to relocate to the fragrant harbour city of Hong Kong.
Our decision to 'live life on the edge' has not been without its challenges. Unemployed, barefoot and pregnant in one of the most densely populated cities in the world, has made for some hair-raising moments.
A life changing experience but one I wouldn't swap for all the tea in China!
