Liz moved to Israel in 2004 and has been blogging about the experience ever since. This means that her blog has a huge amount of information and useful tips for expats, particularly for families moving to the Middle East. Living in Israel with her husband and three children, Liz writes about her life there and shares pictures as part of the ‘52 Frames’ project, in which bloggers take one picture per week and share it with their readers.
