Expat Eyes

This blog contains the photographs, observations and reflections of Rena Diana, an educator and writer, during extended stays in the Arabian Gulf, China, and Mongolia.

About

In 2007 my  husband and I decided to embark on an adventure. He began to work internationally and I joined him in the fall of 2008. We lived in Dubai two years and Qatar two years and have recently transitioned to Asia, where we will spend time in China and Mongolia. I enjoy travelling, reading, writing, and photographing, so this experience has been a terrific opportunity for me- intellectually stimulating, enriching, enlarging.

This blog is an ideal outlet for creative expression. It also allows me to remain connected with family and friends and to interact with a broader community. I will share photographs and vignettes that, I hope,  capture a variety of perspectives in these fascinating cultures. I welcome your comments!
