I'm originally from the United States (Virginia) and left for Lae, Papua New Guinea to work at the university. I met an Aussie bloke there and followed him to Balikpapan, Indonesia, on the island of Borneo. My blog keeps me from therapy and I write about anything and everything. I enjoy living life and don't take myself too seriously. I'm pretty sarcastic, but it's all part of my charismatic charm! ;P

  • Hi. We are Canadians living in South Africa. We are being posted to Balikpapan. We have two dashunds. Is it pet friendly there. Are there numerous vets and pet shops? Do many expats have pets? So many questions. Thanks
