About

I believe that everyone else my age is an adult whereas I am merely in disguise. ~Margaret Atwood

I am an American expat currently living in Linyi, China. I use the pseudonym Global Gal/globalgal online. I am married to a Spanish expat (DH) and together we have lived in the US, Costa Rica, Spain, Canada & two places in China. I (without the DH) have also lived in various places in the US and attended high school in Kuwait. Both the DH and I work at a flight school training Chinese students for Chinese airlines.

This blog explores what it is like to live in China, random travel experiences and interesting things I see, read and hear. As a global nomad and an expat, I often find I am living on the fringe of normal society. I like it there!

La vida da muchas vueltas

Soy Americana y vivo en Linyi, China. En el mundo del Internet uso el nombre Global Gal (chica del mundo). Estoy casada con un español (DH) y hemos vivdo en los EEUU, Costa Rica, España, Canadá, y dos ciudades in China. También vivía (sin el DH) en Kuwait. Nosotros trabajamos en una escuela de vuelo entrenando estudiantes para aerolineas Chinas.

En éste blog escribo sobre la vida en China, viajar y todos las cosas interesantes que veo, leo, y oigo. Como una nomada y una expatriada, estoy vivendo en la franja de la sociedad normal. Aqui estoy a gusto!
