Cross Cultural Living

Oubangui River

Living in a foreign country, speaking another language, learning new customs, eating unfamiliar foods… These things can all be challenging.  When the going gets tough, it's nice to know that there are others living a similar experience.

There are some blogs I find uplifting, entertaining, and encouraging.

A Life Overseas has more than a dozen people who write from their experience about the joys and trials of living in another culture.

One of the writers for Life Overseas, Rachel Pieh Jones,  blogs at Djibouti Jones.  Some of my favorite posts she has written are the following:
