Joy here...If you've read this blog before or know me in real life, then you'll know that The Man and I spend our time split between Ottawa, Canada and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And during our Ottawa time, I routinely grapple with my hate relationship to winter...so instead of divorcing my husband and running away somewhere where I'd never have to deal with snow again, we've decided to take the next 12 months and relocate to Malaysia.

Who wouldn't want a view like this every day?? |
It helps that The Man works on Malaysian law and politics and has a one-year sabbatical so that our move is one that's funded.
It also helps that I've left the wonderful world of academia for life as a footloose and fancy free consultant. So long as I've got my brain, a phone, and an internet connection, I can work anywhere.
So we've decided to make a go of resettling in Kuala Lumpur for the next year...we'll see if we can stay longer, but at least we know where we'll be for a year, which is saying something.

Here's to tropical drinks and our new tropical lifestyle! |
We've rented our house out to a couple from Australia, and we will stay in my cousins' house in Kuala Lumpur upon our arrival. Then we'll find our own place.
So get ready for some tropical updates as I fully recommit to running and set my sights on some 5km and 10km running races in Malaysia over the next few months!
Over and out,
Joy
