Planning a wedding whilst travelling on a weekly basis she experiences frequent culture shocks and is quick to compare her life in the USA to the one she has currently in Europe. Having lives in different times zones is something she deals with better on some days than others, but Valerie always gives an honest glimpse of what expat life can be.

His feed is directed at global nomads like himself who are able to take their tech job with them anywhere in the world, making interesting reading for potential expats. He is also a rugby fanatic, with a fair share of sport related tweets during the season.
