A friend pointed me to an online literary journal that might be of interest to people who live or have lived overseas, ExpatLit.  I’ve finished reading one issue, and downloaded another to my Kindle to read.  So far, I’m enjoying it.  There are some fun stories and poems there.  Some of the works will resonate for people who have lived in countries other than their place of birth.

I wasn’t sure that the magazine would be for me, at first, because I’ve never actually lived what is normally thought of as an expat life.  True, I’ve lived all of my adult life overseas, but never in the capacity of an expat.  I’ve always been very much a part of the local scene, and don’t have all that many friends who are not local.  But the journal isn’t only geared for the high-flying jetsetters we normally think of as moving in an expat crowd.  In fact, I don’t think it’s even mainly targeted at that readership.  So I was glad to come across the site, and anticipate enjoying more issues of the magazine down the road.
