Finds Abroad is more than just a blog. It’s a digital destination built to inform, inspire, and connect anyone navigating life away from home. Whether you're an expat, a working parent, a traveler, or simply curious about life abroad, you're in the right place.
My story began in early 2011, just after New Year’s Eve in the Philippines. With a two-year-old in tow and a heart full of hope (and nerves!), I boarded a plane to the UAE to start a brand-new chapter. As a first-time mom and first-time expat, every moment was a blend of excitement, uncertainty, and resilience. Over the years, my family and I have embraced this new life in Dubai—building memories, overcoming challenges, and discovering a world of opportunity in the desert.
By day, I work in the bustling hub of Dubai Media City, and by night, I pour my heart into Finds Abroad—sharing stories, resources, and real-life experiences that matter.
