About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation Mother, Teacher, Trailing Spouse
Introduction In 2006 we left family, friends, our beloved city and the UK, to live in Sri Lanka, where my husband (Mr NGO) worked for a Tsunami response team. Neither 15 yrs of marriage, nor extensive travel nor even growing up as an Incomer in the Fens, prepared me for this. I am now one of the "NGO wives", a trailing spouse, a mobile mother. In 2008 we moved again, this time to Albania. Then we started all over again. Again. (INGO = International Non Governmental Organisation)
