أهلا بك Hello and welcome to my blog, detailing my experiences living and working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I'm a 33 year old English girl (can you still call yourself a girl if you're a mam?) from the North East of England and I moved to Saudi Arabia in 2015 to work at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology with my other half Paul. I have a lot of varied passions, many of which have changed in recent years as I have inevitably become older - not yet wiser, still waiting for that bit to happen - but many remain the same. I love to read, music, family, traveling, jumping in at the deep end, terrifying my parents with a recklessness bordering on stupidity, day dreaming, plan making and list writing. When I was trying to make up my mind about whether to move here from the UK I spent a lot of time reading other people's blogs to give me as much information as possible; hopefully this blog will prove useful to others in the future. I will be posting a few times a week about life in KAUST, experiences in Saudi Arabia, cultural differences, food - and more specifically - veganism, travel and day to day life. Hopefully this wont be the worlds most boring blog and I hope you find it useful - I'd love for you to get in touch with any questions or suggestions. You can also find me on instagram @livinginarabia. Salaam سلام View all posts by livinginarabia
