Description
We packed up our life in Australia, started over in Singapore… then did it all again in Vietnam 😂 In this Kitchen Catchups, Alfred and I share why we left, why that first year was harder than we expected, and what raising our kids overseas looks like. Plus, Alfred has a Rolex story I’m glad he only told me afterwards.
If you could move anywhere, where would you go? Tell us below! 💛
