Assalamu Alakuim/ Peace be upon all of you,
About four months ago, we, Warda (Canadian) and Bill (American) have been living in New Jersey, and have decided on making this one enormous change in our life. Prior to our marriage on the Christmas of 2010, Bill was laid off his job. So shortly after marriage, Bill found two jobs to make ends meet; working a 17hr shift. No kidding! And things were still, more than tight. We considered few possibilities. We knew that, as a family, we could not continue on living as we were. We considered moving to Canada, or perhaps Warda getting a job in Jersey. As we have always wanted to travel and live in far exotic places at one point in our life, we considered if perhaps with one stone, we can now kill two birds. As Muslims, Saudi was a big contender among the other countries we were considering. As teachers, Saudi was offering the best packages. Around $30k/year, health care, accommodations and flight, and many more that you can find yourself on the web. Warda already had her TESL certificate, so right away, we worked on Bill getting his certificate as well. With our BA`s and certificates, plus some prior teaching experience, we started applying for teaching positions in Saudi. During that process, many other expats` blogs and experiences have been an invaluable source of information. With our blog, we hope to do the same. We also like to keep our families up-to-date on our whereabouts and adventures. If you have any comments, questions or advice please feel free to contact us. We hope to hear from you J
