I tracked along the Duoro River for the first time this summer. Portugal is absolutely stunning!

Gorgeous!

Awesome!

We were celebrating my son’s #IGCSE exam results and went fancy! This is #Koma in Marina Bay Sands mall #Singapore. The sushi was excellent but the star is the venue and the Japanese red gates as you walk in. Total wow factor! 🍽️✈️🗺️

“Eaten so well” is always the truth in an Indian household!!

I host an EarlyBirds Dance Party in #singapore twice a year and the next one is Friday 29 Aug!

Please share with those ladies (sorry guys!) in #SG for a fab night out and we can still get home in time for a great night's sleep! #girlsnightoutSG

We did some uni tours in Scotland this summer- what a magical place! Love!

I am a white American married to a first gen British Indian. This is 6am prof makeup and hair for the SEVENTH day of Punjabi #wedding festivities for hubby’s niece. This is how we roll at #Indian weddings. I love my crazy multicultural expat life and wouldn’t change a thing! #expat 🗺️✈️💃

When my husband worked at Duke, we would often see the chapel used for weddings. A truly magical spot to start a new life together.

My husband’s niece was married over the weekend in 🇬🇧 so we flew from #Singapore to help celebrate. Living far from loved ones as #expats we miss special occasions all the time so when there is something BIG, we try our best to attend. And this did not disappoint! #Punjabis know how to party! 🗺️✈️

Super grateful that I was able to travel to #Porto #Portugal for a 7 day river cruise on the #Duoro River with my mom! The scenery, food, people, port and wine were all amazing. And the river locks were beyond fascinating. Now I’m obsessed with Portugal! Where should I travel to next? ✈️🗺️🌎

Wow! What a photo!

I’ve been an expat since 2008. I had my first baby in #China and my second in #India. We’ve loved living across Asia and along the way I’ve gained some knowledge and experience. So I wrote a guide that helps new first time #expat families figure out how to survive and thrive! Link in bio 🌎

#Vegan and #glutenfree chicken rice. This one is made of yuba- a version of tofu. Tasted so much like chicken I had to remind myself it wasn’t! #vegetarian 🍽️🗺️✈️

Julie @familyexpatguide.bsky.social · May 23

So much great modern #architecture in #Singapore! Feels like we live in the future. I love #walking around this city- always new things to see. 🗺️✈️

Julie @familyexpatguide.bsky.social · May 18

We are taking the same cruise this summer. Any tips?

A morning at East Coast Park before the storm hits. #singapore #beach #travel 🗺️✈️

Living in Singapore, I often daydream about this kind of travel!

Julie @familyexpatguide.bsky.social · May 6

Can anyone relate? Out for a walk this morning along #RobertsonQuay and we stopped for a drink. My #husband ordered an extra hot chia and I ordered iced #chai. Both arrived at the same time. Then I blinked and his was finished. 😆 #singapore #tea #cafe #marriage

I organize monthly Vegetarian events for #expats in #Singapore. This month we did a plant based proteins cooking class. A mix of tofu, tempeh and a lentil based protein were all in the mix. DELISH! Next month is a #yoga class and vegan lunch. Love to explore all 🇸🇬 has to offer! ✈️🗺️🌎

Hokkaido soft serve with espresso. Honestly it was by far the highlight of the weekend. #Hokkaido, #Japan is famous for their dairy products and this restaurant featured only dairy items from that specific region. Singapore is a #foodie heaven and has foods and flavors from all over the 🌎. ✈️
