My name is SaltyBug. OK clearly that is not my 'real' name but it is who I go by on my blog. My family and I lived by the sea in Perth, Western Australia. We had a great lifestyle. On weekends we would ride bikes to the beach, the children who are little would squeal in delight as they splashed and our boy caught his first wave on his 4th birthday. We decided late last year to move to Manila, here in the Philippines. An opportunity came up and it was just too good to refuse. Now we are embarking on this big adventure. Learning how to live in this new culture and trying to meet people and make meaningful friendships, especially for the children. We have been here nearly three months and it is like a rollercoaster. I take things day by day because you have to. Some days are so awesome you just sing in delight at this wonderful opportunity. Other days I am on my knees in tears feeling completely isolated, alone and exhausted with the effort every little thing seems to take here. What I know for sure though is this - I am still so excited to be here, and every day is a new opportunity for discovery and I love it!
