May 1, 2013 in Blogging, Expat Life, Family 9 Comments

Since we first moved to South East Asia over 4 years ago I started to realize that I would always be “farang” or “bule” or “foreigner”, call it what you may, to all the locals. This categorization due to my looks immediately led to some great things, some not so great (getting the special foreigner … Continue reading »

December 16, 2012 in A Week in Snapshots, Expat Life, Family, Holidays, Jakarta, Kids, Party 2 Comments

My heart is aching for the families in Newtown, Connecticut. Every time I watch the news or read a new article about it I get a tear-eyed and try not to hug the boys too hard.

About Me

Hi, I'm Ana Gaby. A nomad by nature and by trade. I'm a Mexican expat currently living in Jakarta with my American husband and my two very active little boys. After living in South East Asia for over 3 years I'm still learning to appreciate the ups and downs of living in the Big Durian. Join us in our adventure as we explore Jakarta and South East Asia, raise Bilingual Third Culture Kids and take our children along for the ride of a lifetime.
