Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Chrissie Graeber and here’s a little bit about me and my family. We are an American expat family of four. My husband is Reid, and my children are Cameron and Lian. Currently, we live in South Africa with our two teenagers and our dog, Q. He is a very pampered poodle named after the James Bond movies. He has his own pages on instagram and facebook – #qthepamperedpoodle. If you’re wondering why we have social media for the dog, you’ll just have to go look for yourself. He has an amazing personality and he’s just that kind of dog…

We started our expat adventures in 1996 with a move to Yokosuka, Japan. We have lived in Weymouth, Dorset then Southampton in the UK, Warsaw, Poland, several places in the US and now South Africa. We love to travel and we are big foodies. I started this blog primarily to keep in touch with family and friends, but also to journal our adventures for our children. I hope you enjoy it.
