Ana Travels
Hello there!
I’d like to introduce myself first. My name is Ana and I am originally from Argentina. I lived in Buenos Aires until I married a wonderful Welshman called Sean, who whisked me away to Dallas, TX. That was the first of many culture shocks I experienced. Because of his job, we’ve lived in Jersey (UK) and Toronto (Canada).
I have two other blogs, one about restaurants we liked, Food Trails and Tales, and one in Spanish about my life as an expat too apuntes ideas imagenes. I’m also contributing editor at PocketCultures.
I don’t go backpacking, couch surfing or camping. I don’t do incredibly daring things like feeding tigers or swimming with sharks. I just follow my husband and try to make the most of the places we visit. I lead an ordinary life, I think, except I do it in different cities (often in the same week!)

I should have read your introduction first! I couldn’t commiserate more on the following of the husband existence! I’m not incredibly thrill seeking either, and feel I have enough on my plate just trying to communicate in another language, and not get lost in all the new environments. But I think by experiencing culture shock regularly, this is no ordinary life! May that make us better and more imaginative writers!!

Thanks for offering tips on your home town. I will be arriving in Buenos Aires on January 9 on a cruise ship and flying to Ottawa, Canada, where my three children, girls, reside on January 17. So I plan on renting an apartment in the Palermo district for 8 days. What do you think of that idea? Dale dale.moores@hotmail.com
Posted by dale.moores | July 22, 2010, 11:17 amI’m a trailing spouse in an intercultural marriage as well – I followed my Spanish husband from the US to Costa Rica to Spain to Toronto and finally, China. Although in the case of Toronto he was actually the trailing spouse.
I look forward to following your adventures in Ontario (I miss it!) and your experiences with MatadorU. (I’m a student as well but I’m afraid I got WAY behind due to recent move.) Looks like I should also check out Mara’s blog.
Posted by Heather GG | July 28, 2010, 12:17 pmI saw that Charlotte, NC, is on your list of places to go. Please look me up when you are traveling to NC – my American husband and I (German native) live two hours north in a suburb of Greensboro.
