Hi All,

My name is Tracey and my husband and I are leaving Queensland Australia to relocate in Sharjah as of August this year ( 2017).

My husband is a Teacher and he was "head hunted" to be part of the team at the International School located there.

BIG MOVE for us but it is an opportunity we could not pass up and it's at the right time in our lives as both of our kids are studying at University at the moment, so it's OUR TIME to explore the world as we see fit. :)

I am excited in so many ways but also a little...LOST ( the way I put it) as my husband will have many people around him to befriend and support, but I will very possibly be left out of their things.

Not saying that spouses will not be included in activities out side of the school, as we will be living in villas on the school Campus, but I would also like to make friends of my own that aren't necessarily attached to his work.

I joined this site as I was looking up the Oman "border runs", which seems will be part of our lives for the first couple of months there.

Anyone local in Dubai or Sharjah ( or even Oman) please come and say HI to me here.

Thank you for your time.

Tracey.

I will be teaching there part time too. I wonder if it's the same school! Lol! In any case, I'm happy to meet you here and we should meet up once we get there. We are from the US. I have always wanted to visit Australia!

Hi Tracey, Where in Queensland are you? My son his partner and their new baby live in Petrie, Brisbane. I moved here with my husband a few months ago from the UK. Cant say there is anything I can't buy in the shops that is from home ( that I have noticed!) Hope your move goes smoothly, good luck.
