We are a mixed family of 4 with different culture, religion and views in life. It gets interesting as the kids grow in a neutral environment in Doha.

I am a mom with two kids from different background, the first born is one Asian- Catholic daughter, the second born is Turkish- Muslim son. Our family is based in Doha, Qatar where me and my husband are both working full time. We go home to Philippines and Turkey every year and I intend to blog about our travels and what are the unique things we encounter in the three countries we call home.

There are some mixed feelings around locals. It is a matter of what goes and what does not. They are not used to ladies who wear open dresses and tight clothes.
