Introduction
Experience Uganda and East Africa with Diary of a Muzungu www.diaryofamuzungu.com Hi Expats! My blog covers adventure, cultural (mis)observations, conservation, travel and life as a 40-something British expat woman trying to get to grips with life in a developing country. I fell in love with Uganda the moment I set foot here but it has its challenges! I am a contributor to the Bradt Uganda Guidebook, Fodor's and Lonely Planet. I post regular updates on my Diary of a Muzungu Facebook page. I am @CharlieBeau on Twitter and @charliebeau_diary_of_a_muzungu on Instagram. I travel widely across the region and blog from Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. If you're looking for travel ideas, do drop by! I first starting writing Diary of a Muzungu in 2008 when I planned my move to Uganda. If you're looking for tips on surviving as an expat in UG, feel free to get in contact.
I am a female.
I am self-employed. I am a trainer, travel writer and blogger, Chartered Institute of Marketing Manager.
I joined expat.com on 13 August 2011.
