The Armchair Traveler: Saudi Arabia

I was thinking: what country would I like to visit without having to actually go there?  Saudi Arabia came to mind. I have been reading Susie’s Big Adventure for the last  few weeks. Susie is am American woman who moved, with her Saudi born husband and their son, to Saudi Arabia in the fall of 2007.

Susie paints a far more positive picture of life in Saudi America that I would have expected from a female American expatriate. She writes about the Saudi version of March Madness (who knew), her mother-in-law's life, a pajama party. Her blog is so varied and interesting you can’t help but get caught up in her sense of adventure.

Scan down the left side of the blog until you get to labels. The Susie of Arabia category is a great place to get the overall picture of her life in this country so very different from our own.

Saudi Arabia is not some place I would want visit in person. It is interesting to visit there with Susie as my  virtual host from time to time.
