Leaving your home and moving abroad often requires you to think a little outside the box. If you don't want your working life to take a nose dive into oblivion that is. Expats tend, therefore, to be creative creatures. According to the Economist in an article entitled "Living abroad gives you a creative edge" (it's all in the title right?),

"Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years dwelling abroad."

Creative expats are therefore in extremely good company. And there are lots around. At a drop of a hat I can name expat writers, photographers, crafters, bakers, artists - the list goes on.

So.... as the season of present giving is fast approaching (don't forget pakjesavond on 5 December for those in the Netherlands) I thought it might be a good time to share some of these creative expat geniuses with you all. And whats more watch this space for exclusive discounts for some of the amazing gift ideas coming up over the next couple of weeks.
