COVID19 - A U.S. Perspective
When you make the decision to move to another country with your family, ‘Pandemic’ is not something that we added to the list of considerations! But here we are, along with everyone else, trying to sort through the truths, the fear, the panic, and the meaning behind it all... Some observations from an Australian family living in the US, and what we can learn from our Grandparents era.
Exposing My Fears - Photography Workshop
In early February, I attended a 4-day documentary photography workshop, Project LA. It was organised by ‘Momenta Workshops’ whose motto is ‘Documentary photography for social good’’. It was one of the many highlights of my time in the US to date.
The Trailing Spouse
The Trailing Spouse: A term used to describe a person who follows his or her life partner to another city, often country, because of a work assignment.
My husband works for an international Australian-based company, and was posted to Memphis, Tennessee for a great, career enhancing role. ‘Trailing Spouse’ is my current job title, and has been for the last year and a bit, or 20 months if you count the time since I quit my job. Besides parenting, it’s probably been the most challenging, yet rewarding job that I have ever done. It’s fairly unique, and there aren’t a lot of us that have the opportunity to do this. So, here are my thoughts so far in case you’re interested, or find yourself in a similar position in the future.
