Send us your questions about diplomatic life!

We're back and this time we're taking a different angle on diplomatic spousehood careers. Convincing an employer in this economy that you deserve to keep your job whilst moving abroad requires determination and patience, but we often find it pays off in the long run when you are able to continue with your professional development. Katie talks about overcoming hurdles here in Islamabad to sit her Risk Management exams as well as settling into a new home. Is it possible to say from one moment to the next that you have officially 'settled?' Katie and I think we have pinpointed it.

In this first edition of a series of interviews with our community, I sit down (on chairs, for once), with Emma Gore, yoga teacher here of 8 months. Emma talks candidly on a range of topics such as personal wellbeing, her inspiration for changing careers, the benefits of yoga (particularly for diplomats) and her love for our community. 

Please bear with me as I find my feet with this podcast and interview series.
