Weekly Highlights
Pampered pooches, more markets and baking at home. It has been a week of variety.
As an expat in the Philippines, one of my goals is to explore as much of this country as I possibly can before we leave. You see expat life is transient and one day we will be moving on. I like to share my travel stories with readers to encourage them to explore, step out of their comfort zone and become more familiar with the culture, the people and the land they are guests of.

It is time to start exploring this new city of ours. We have been to a park, cat cafe and markets. Phew.
It isn’t just the constant busy-ness making us exhausted. This place is sensory overload. You just don’t get a break from it. It will take time to adjust. The first week has been filled with enough activity for a month and despite the exhaustion, we are loving it.
Our first few days here in Manila have been filled with so much. It is sensory overload on every level.
The first few days in Manila have been challenging. Working against the clock to get things organised. We are tired, the children are getting stressed and culture shock is setting in.

It is our last night in Perth, and a time for reflection. Celebrating the journey so far and looking forward to what lies ahead.

In our last night in our home, it is time to reflect, to remember and to prepare for what lies ahead.
It’s our last few days before we move overseas. We are excited, exhausted and doing last minute visits to our favourite places, to say our last goodbye’s.
Saying goodbye is hard to do. It helps to put a ritual in place to mark the ending and the beginning of a new phase.
