To celebrate the second anniversary of a very special blog I am a contributing member of we’re sponsoring an Instagram Blog Hop around the world and this is the first time I’m co-hosting an event like this! Let me explain more.
Multicultural Kid Blogs is a fabulous resource linking together blogs with a common interest from all over the world. Our common interest is that we’re all living in multilingual families, raising multicultural children. Our blogs cover themes such as travel, language, food, arts, crafts and education. I love the diversity of the group and have found many interesting blogs to follow, drawing inspiration from these dynamic writers. When you live in a culture that isn’t the one (or “ones”) you were brought up in it’s wonderful to be able to reach out to others with similar experiences across the globe and share experiences, advice, ideas etc. While I’m actually surrounded by a very international community where I live, with many multilingual expat families, no one writes about it, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know other expat bloggers. I l ove hearing their stories from all over the world, from Bali to Qatar, via China, Morroco, Germany, NL, USA, Croatia….
And so on to Instagram. Instagram is the perfect partner or antidote to blogging and it’s the most recent social media I’ve succumbed to. While I have to research, write, format, edit, choose and edit photos etc for a blog post, for Instagram I just upload a photo. It’s a great way to promote a blog article, keep in touch or just to share something special. I love it! Above all it’s fun! I scroll through my Instagram feed dreaming about the exotic and beautiful places I see there, salivating over delectable food photos, laughing at the funny stuff but often what I like most are the every day ordinary things people post about their families and their lives. Seeing what a classroom looks like in Doha for example, or a suburban street in Shanghai. It’s not glamorous, it’s real – it’s fly-on-the-wall stuff – and it feeds my wanderlust and curiosity just as much as the perfect sunsets and stunning landscapes.
The photos above are a small taster of what I post on Instagram. Do you use it? If so come and join the fun and travel the world by linking up to our Blog Hop below.

Looks like a fun project! x
I’ve met a family with 3 different races before, and they’re so cute! Apparently, the mom married thrice but with huge gaps, of course hehe. She was married to an English man, next to an Italian, and now she’s married to this French guy who gave her a super cute baby girl. Unfortunately though, the mom’s not into blogging.. they’re a happy family. 🙂
So glad to have met you and the rest of the MKB bunch – what a fun group of people you all are.
