Post new topic

Hello Doha.

I am a recently arrived Aussie; coming from a stint in Kuwait of about five years. My wife should be joining me in about four weeks.

In the mean time, I am interested in meeting new people and finding a place to live. We like travelling, reading, good food and drink and company. My wife is also into knitting, sewing and crafts.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
