Expat experience

Since February 2012

Aberdeen, Scotland

Maxine Smith Business & Events Services (http:www.msbes.com) Volunteer at National Trust Scotland - Drum Castle Running (now in training for the Cairngorms 2012), walking, gardening, reading (member of Read-on book group in Banchory), socialising with friends and family.

The countryside in Aberdeenshire is stunning. There is something for everyone here. So much natural beauty, so much to do and we have been blessed with the mildest winter and a beautiful few weeks of Spring. We are loving Aberdeenshire right now and very pleased with our relocation here.

We just need to build up a friend base here and that will make everything here perfect.
