We have been very lucky to dive head first into the Singapore community. The expat community here reminds me a lot of Phoenix in the fact that if you’re willing to step up, work hard, you will be able to find all sorts of ways to be involved and expand your horizons and your network. I joined the American Women’s Association (AWA) almost immediately after moving and shortly after joined their Board of Directors. I highly suggest joining the AWA to anyone moving to a foreign country as I have met some amazing ladies and learned a lot through their local tours. But I digress…While on my job hunt earlier this year I was encouraged to volunteer in the office of the American Association. To make a very long story short (you’re thinking FINALLY!), the American Association’s Communications Manager asked if Raegen and I wanted to write a piece for their December issue of Singapore American News. The theme for December was celebrations around the world and since we’ve decided to get hitched she thought we’d be perfect to write about wedding traditions in Asia.The hardest part about the story was that there are a multitude of cultures and traditions that we could’ve highlighted but we only had 900 words to educate our audience. After submitting the story and photos we learned we would be the cover story of the December issue of the Singapore American News. A big thank you to our friends who submitted their photos and helped us with edits. It takes a village!To read the whole story Wedding Celebrations in Singapore, click here. Happy reading!Happy Trails,Amy & Raegen
That's great! Congrats to you both!
