Hey guys in Qatar or wanting to move there,

Fellow expat Stephanie has sent us a piece about how she navigates between her British-ish and her French-ish identity and we thought we would share it with you.

Her opinion piece is featured on our magazine:
Opinion: Does being an expat mean Ill always be the outsider?

We would love to know what you think!

Happy Thursday,
AL

I am Mauritian and British by birth too in Qatar. However because of my intense love for Mauritius I identify more of being Mauritian. Being equally fluent in English and I'm French I get to meet quite a few francophones here especially where I work there are many Tunisians a few French and French speaking canadians. So it is very interesting being multilingual especially me speaking Arabic on top of that.
