LifeOfShanMarie isn't just about picture-perfect escapes from a seemingly ever-exploring expat globetrotter. It's about the real me, Shannon, the thirty-something career woman navigating life's twists and turns, including the office victories, the "working remote" holidays, and the moments I ditch work for a sneaky happy hour!

This blog began as a way to connect with loved ones back home, sharing my exciting expat adventures. But like many storytellers, my wanderings inspired a desire to share more than just destinations. LifeOfShanMarie isn't just about chasing sunsets; it's about the real, sometimes messy journey of navigating foreign cultures, exploring the fine things in my new city, the ups and downs of climbing the corporate ladder, and tackling life in the unusual direction it can take us.​​
