I am originally from Australia. I met my Canadain boyfriend at Wollongong University in 2006. We moved to London, UK in 200. I taught High School English there for a year, and also did some temporary teaching. We then moved to Canada in 2009 for some skiing and change of scenery. I lived in Marrakech, Morocco for one year, taeching Grade 2 at an American School. We lived in Taiwan from August 2010 to August 2011 where we taught at an International School. We were there a year to the DAY! We flew in on my birthday, and left on my birthday the net year. I then moved back to Australia with my partner and lived and taught there from August 2011 to April 2012. We traveled around Malaysia for one month before settling down in Hamilton, Canada. I am currently the secretary of the Hamilton Wildcats, which has both a female and male team in the Ontario Australian Football League. Contact me if you have an interest in playing! Rookies and pros, males and females accepted. http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info.cgi?c=1-7394-110437-0-14207859&sID=160052
I joined expat.com on 04 November 2009.

Living! Will hopefully stay here for a while...
The seasons
I am living in Kaohsiung.
Lots of interesting things right out your door, or in your apartment building for that matter.
Congestion
Living in Gueliz with my Canadian boyfriend. We moved here for something different and to enjoy the outdoors.
I have travelled here before and like the people and culture. It is great for hiking. Although getting to some places can be quite trying...
Transportation, European prices.
Living with my boyfriend and his parents in Collingwood. Lots of skiing.
Beautiful weather, activities.
London was a fantastic base for travelling and I made the most of it!
Ease of life - everything is at your fingertips. Great parks, great food, awesome concerts.
Cost of living, the miserable winter weather.
I lived in Wollongong until I made the move overseas to London.
What isn't there to like? Sun, beach, mountains, relaxed people, ease...
I just had to get out of the small town mentality and get some international perspective.
