A couple of weeks ago we ran an article that highlighted some great expat tweeters that can be found on Twitter. Judging from your comments we may have missed some great expats tweeters off our list of people to follow. Never fear, today we will put that right. Here’s some expats who regularly update their Twitter statuses and blogs with information that can be of real benefit to an expat audience.

She describes herself as: “I am an adult third culture kid (ATCK) was expat kid. Lived in Africa. Blogger.
