- [Happy Birthday, 'Merica](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/happy-birthday-merica-what-makes-a-holiday/) - Today is one of those days that can be bittersweet as an expat.

It really got me wondering about

Full disclosure: our US life needed some
- [International Travel: Beware the Pitfalls](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/international-travel-beware-the-pitfalls/) - International travel with a family has never been for the faint of heart. Two years into this global pandemic, country hopping now seems like it's an exercise for suckers.

- [Let's Make a Reading List](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/lets-make-a-reading-list/) - It has been pretty hard to find ways to distract from the endlessness that defines COVID-related lockdowns.

Memes and binge-watching TV shows can only hold my attention for

Join the Club.](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/missing-international-travel-join-the-club/) - The pandemic is still raging, and depending on where you live, you can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Getting a flight out, for one is
- [What You Need for Rainy Season in Thailand](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/essentials-for-thailands-rainy-season/) - In the west, they say April showers bring May flowers, but I'm learning that in Bangkok April showers just lead to more showers. Here it is generally a steamy 85+ degrees Fahrenheit, or 29+ degrees Celsius, in the daytime. Living in the Northeast, I experienced the hot and sticky summers, biting winters, and erratic springs

- [Thinking of Moving Abroad?](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/thinking-of-moving-abroad/) - 2020 has been heavy. I'm seeing more stories from American expats about their lives abroad and a heightened interest in this lifestyle.

Estimates from the State Department are that there are about 9 million Americans, excluding military personnel,

- [Going from Singapore? to Singapore! How Impressions Can Change Between Trips](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/singapore-singapore-impressions/) - It took more than one trip for my impressions of Singapore to shift. I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps its reputation for having restrictive laws gave me pause, but I LOVE cities.

- [My favorite recipes from the summer](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/my-favorite-recipes-this-summer/) - Baking is a brilliant discipline. I take great joy from mixing precise ingredients, watching those ingredients change in the oven and admiring the final product. The process has always been oddly therapeutic, even if my earliest attempts were complete failures. With just a persistent interest in creating treats (and in eating them TBH), I dredge
- [5 Tips for parents after relocation overseas](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/tips-for-parents-after-relocation/) - In my preparations to move abroad, I read quite a few articles about how toddlers may regress as a response to the change. This didn't seem incredibly far-fetched considering the mountain of articles offering tips to help parents transition their kids from cribs to big kid beds, into new rooms - IN THE SAME HOUSE
- [What do you do when stress gets to you?](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-days-15-18/) - Serious question: what do you do when stress gets to you?

The technology solutions to help manage stress are almost endless. I even remember before moving to

And yet… here I

The spouse and I recently found an excuse (in the form of a boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Lucas Matthyse) to get away to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the weekend. Whether you're a boxing enthusiast

I mean, how do I find one unsettling encounter in a sea of them? The things I find strange are so numerous that, like the bizarrely dressed
- [Tips for creating family traditions among different cultures](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/tips-for-creating-family-traditions-among-different-cultures/) - Moving to a new place, we have been exposed to a vast new culture that we have the privilege of experiencing firsthand.

- [I never thought I would run a 10k](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/i-never-thought-i-would-run-a-10k/) - Let me start with an admission: I don't like running. I ran some on my high school's track team, and on occasion since then at the gym, or even outdoors when it's the only option. It was not because I enjoyed it. More like because I wanted to hang out with friends or lose weight.
- [Blogtober Challenge: Days 4-7](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-days-4-7/) - It's really terrible when you realize that a carefully thought out plan isn't going to work. When I decided to participate in Blogtober, I knew that the first week would be rough. The circumstances were far from my normal routine and environment. Although I pre-planned some content a couple of weeks before the month began,
- [What I learned from Blogtober](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/what-i-learned-from-blogtober/) - I'm going to be completely honest; I did not enjoy participating in Blogtober. There, I said it. I went into it knowing it would be challenging and that I would have the added complication of international travel with toddlers. What I hadn't anticipated was how many unforeseen factors would conspire against me or how hard
- [Blogtober Challenge: Days 26-30](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-days-26-30/) - "You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. What mood is that? Last-minute panic." ? Bill Watterson I have always been a procrastinator. Despite the utterly preventable anxiety and stress that inevitably comes from working at the last minute, I don't think I could be convinced
- [Blogtober Challenge: Days 22-25](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-days-22-25/) - I may have mentioned this in passing, but this week my children have no school. It's mid-term break, and Tuesday was Chulalongkorn Day. It would be nearly impossible to have the girls home for nine days straight, so I needed to find a way to entertain them. Many preschools advertise weeklong camps, in-lieu of school,
- [Blogtober Challenge: Days 19-21](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-days-19-21/) - I remember how shocked I was when I learned how much childcare would cost us. Daycare for the two girls was about as much as our mortgage per month – and we weren't alone. This article from Yahoo! Finance is one of many that describe the daycare situation around 2015 when my kids were born.
- [Expat Toddler Travels: Khao Yai](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/expat-toddler-travels-khao-yai/) - Please be aware that this blog post contains affiliate links and any purchases made through such links will result in a small commission for me (at no extra cost for you).

- [Blogtober Challenge: Day 12](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-day-12/) - American expats, are you planning to vote in the upcoming election? I don't know about you, but I'm keen to exercise my civic right from the other side of the world. My Twitter and Instagram feeds are clogged with the descent into chaos that has been our political discourse, and each cringe-worthy day is challenging
- [Blogtober Challenge: Days 10 & 11](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-days-10-11/) - I was not able to publish a post yesterday; my energy was dedicated to dealing with condo renovation frustrations back in the States after catching up on sleep and some quiet time in the mani/pedi chair. I wasn't nearly as distressed about missing a day as I was the first time, but I've had bigger
- [Blogtober Challenge: Day 9](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-day-9/) - Things were so crazy last week that I really haven't spent much time reflecting on the time I got to spend with family and friends. We made this trip back for a friend, a fact that has elicited comments from other American expats along the lines of, "Must be a good friend. I wouldn't do
- [Blogtober Challenge: Day 8](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-day-8/) - This challenge has not been easy. In so many ways it has shown me how complicated it is to blog as a parent. Children are complete wildcards and have this innate power to render plans irrelevant – well my children do. It is also true that writing is a time-consuming process for me. I have
- [Blogtober Challenge: Day 3](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-day-3/) - Traveling isn't always all that it's cracked up to be. People spend time talking about the experiences, the culture, the food, and all the other stuff that gets romanticized. That is real, but sometimes travel is just hard. Real talk, sometimes you get sick, you lose luggage, you've got to change plans, you don't get
- [Blogtober Challenge: Day 2](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/blogtober-challenge-day-2/) - The desynchronosis, or jet lag, is hitting one of the kids really hard. Desynchronosis is so much more fun to say compared to jet lag; I think I may stick with that one. What this means is that I've been awake since about 1:00 a.m. EST with my kid who slept from about 2:00 in
- [I'm going to try this thing called Blogtober](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/im-going-to-try-this-thing-called-blogtober/) - I haven't been blogging for very long, and there are still many aspects of this that I have yet to figure out - like so many. It's overwhelming to consider building a site (that someone wants to visit) from the ground up, and everything that goes with it. So it becomes convenient to hold back
- [The first Monday of September](https://perspectivesfromabroad.com/the-first-monday-of-september/) - Labor Day weekend; often considered the last chance to enjoy summer before the pages turn on summer and the season of pumpkin spice lattes, falling leaves, and apple picking begins. As vacationers soak up the last bit of summer along coasts before Columbus Day (that only some workers are allowed the time off), I can't
