My expat journey
Arg谩ka, Pafos, Cyprus
Hi,
Myself and my husband, Jack, have just recently moved to Cyprus and I am very excited and looking forward to exploring this beautiful country! We have a house in Argaka Village and would love to hear from any expats living in the neighbourhood!
Over the past 10 years I have held various voluntary jobs working with Island Conservation, Literacy programmes and many more projects while living in Jamaica and the Seychelles. My qualifications are in Accounting and I have worked as an Accounting Manager for various different companies. I have also worked as an Administrator for a Recruiting Agency and as a Legal Secretary!!
Everything at the moment!
Still all very new and exploring!
Grand Anse Mahe, Seychelles
Living in the Seychelles was absolutely amazing! Wonderful white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, palm trees, truly paradise on earth. I was involved in a couple of voluntary projects with the Island Conservation Society which was both very informative and rewarding. While Island life is very gentle and relaxing most of our entertainment was via restaurant dining and also entertaining at home and at friends houses. I am truly blessed to have enjoyed so many good times on these truly stunning islands.
Kingston, Kingston, Jamaica
I absolutely loved Kingston, Jamaica .... I worked on a voluntary basis, with young children on a literacy programme. Also worked voluntary on a project for the CDA (Child Development Agency). I also helped out on various projects for the Digicel Foundation.
Accounting Manager
The Jamaican people are so warm and friendly. Loved the atmosphere, the vibrancy, the music, food .... basically everything!!
Lack of support for the underprivileged communities.
Greystones, Ireland
I was born in Ireland, lived, worked and married there. For the past 5 years we have been privileged to live/work in Luxembourg, Jamaica and now Seychelles :-)
I have worked as a legal secretary and then after further studies I worked in all areas of accounting!!
My home!!
