Introduction - my life around the world!
While I'm originally from London, UK, I have moved around the world (more than once!), and have lived in Australia, Malaysia, north of England, Scotland and currently in sunny Singapore. In 2020, my BFF and I, after being on the PTA board (parent-teacher association) at our kids' school, stumbled upon an opportunity in the market! We launched a sustainable t-shirt printing company for international school PTAs in Singapore. We had our first large order within 48 hours and 7 days later the world locked down! But there's a plot twist! Despite the lockdown blues, we sold 4000 masks, graduation t-shirts and Meta Singapore caught wind of our startup tale (2 mums starting a business in lockdown) and ordered from us. Then the US embassy heard about us and became a client and things just grew very quickly. But as expats, we knew that, having experienced this many times before, we could be sent off to our next adventure at any moment, leaving behind a 6-figure business that couldn’t be replicated quickly and easily. Not one to be deterred, I then started Expat Business In A Bag, helping expats, digital nomads and military spouses to build a business that travels with us. I was surrounded with others just like me and found another niche helping people monetise as they move™ This is where I share my travel stories and business and marketing tips https://instagram.com/expatbusinessinabag I’m so excited to be here.
