Expatria Baby was conceived by a trailing spouse turned social media ninja turned stay-at-home-mother as a place to document the joys, frustrations, trials, and general hilarity of life abroad.
It has since evolved into a gigantic whine-a-thon about the fact that the baby, who is the namesake of this blog, does not sleep and a "safe space" wherein the author can demonstrate her ridiculosity while exploring life in Asia.
About me: Hi, I'm Erica. I'm a foreigner. And I have a baby. Hence the title of my blog.
I've been living in Asia for about five years, and am currently calling Southern Japan "home". I'm Canadian. My husband is Swiss. Our baby was born in Japan. We have two Chinese cats, one of whom jumped off a 20th story balcony and survived to tell the tale.
I had my first taste of living abroad at 16, and I haven't looked back since. I've lived in six different countries, innumerable cities, a few cowtowns, and have moved more times than I care to remember. Despite this, I remain a terrible packer. Also, I have no sense of direction.
I love airports and train stations. I hate green vegetables. But I eat them anyway. Because I am virtuous.
