A field guide to growing up without growing apart
I never, EVER imagined myself living outside the United States. But, life is full of surprises. I have now been living in the Middle East for going on 3 years, and I have come to love, love, love the expat life. And, since the primary […]
As an American living abroad, I have found myself in many situations in which views that I have held since birth are very much in the minority. Not only that, but the country I currently live in is known for having an absolutely heinous record […]
It’s so hard to live in the moment. So often we find ourselves wishing for the golden years that were, or yearning for a future that holds something better. So this month I thought we should discuss where we find ourselves right now. Are we […]

SERIOUSLY?!) we’ve upgraded to an official site! www.twentysomethingcondition.com If you’re already following us your subscription should be transferred automatically and if not please turn […]

This summer I took a 3 week trip to the U.S., much of which was spent staying with my family or my husband’s family. It was fun. It was a memorable trip. It was just swell. But… I think I’m finding it increasingly difficult to […]
