The Qatar Collection, 8 short stories from my experiences living in Doha.

And then my dad got an exciting new job in Doha, the capital city of Qatar. It was a country I’d barely even heard of, let alone knew anything about! Nevertheless, it wasn’t a difficult decision to fly out there and get my first taste of life as an expat in a foreign country.

I’ll never forget the excitement of being on that almost deserted Qatar Airways flight. After all, I had an aisle of seats all to myself. Not to mention my own personal desert sunrise as we began our descent into Doha. The resulting year in Qatar was amazing, producing a lifetime of memories and setting me in good stead for the nomadic years ahead.
