The Lyon Den

Posted in France, Lyon, Moving, University on January 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

My new home for the next 3 months and 2 weeks: Lyon, France.  As the final part of my degree I have to do a final year project at a French university, so here I am.  At the end of the 3 months I graduate, and who knows where I’ll be after that!  All I [...]

Places of the Past

Posted in China, Development, Me, Moving, TCK, Travelling on December 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Since I’ll be graduating in June (supposedly) and therefore, in theory, joining the working world shortly after, I decided that it would be wise to postpone that eventuality and travel.  Two friends of mine, whom I met while at university, also enjoy travelling and, since they’ve never been to anywhere on the Asian continent before, [...]

Yes I am alive, and commenting on the delusion of choice

Posted in Delusion of choice, Internationalism, Life, Moving, TCK on March 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So it’s been ages since I posted on here. I’ve been busy with work, skiing, getting a social life here, etc. and just haven’t been ‘around’ as much online as I used to be.
When I was younger I always thought and said that I’d settle down when I got older, and not live the [...]

I was just idly listening to a local radio station in Switzerland today (local, but for English speakers in the region i.e. it’s a station for international people, called World Radio Switzerland, based in Geneva) and by coincidence they interviewed a psychologist named Rachel Melville Thomas about moving, how to prepare your kids for it, [...]
