Basic Info BioHala wa marhaba (hello and welcome)! I am an American woman living and working in Doha, Qatar. I started this weblog so that I could journal about my experiences living here, with three main purposes:
(1) reflecting on my life here,
(2) keeping in touch with friends and family, and
(3) hopefully helping interested people learn more about life in this part of the world.
I relish comments, so please post a comment if you have any questions or anything to add!
