By the time I was 20 I had lived in 3 countries. By the time I was 30 I had lived and/or worked in 15 countries. Then I met my Dutch husband on a flight back to the Netherlands from the USA. We married and had our first child in Amsterdam and then moved to the UK for 5 years (where we had two more children). Around 6 years ago we moved to Groningen and we had our fourth child. So all in all I am pretty experienced at the whole ex-pat stuff.
Then, last September, my husband’s employer asked him if he would like to go to Cardiff for 6 months and take his family with him.
