Mus Marian is an Australian expat with a love for all things coffee, writing, and foreign languages.
He is now living in Istanbul with his wife after she was posted there due to her work.
While he is enjoying what many other men in similar situations call ‘Leave Without Pay’, Mus wants to make sure he can create something for himself that will be of benefit in the future.
When looking for stories of expats and ‘trailing spouses’ he was sad to see it was largely written from the wife’s perspective. This leads him to create the Nomadic Husband blog for him to share his own stories of moving and expatriating.

FIGT Melbourne
29 July
12 PM AEST – Melbourne
Focus on Repatriation – Returning ‘home’ after living abroad is all about reconnection
“Whilst this all sounds straight forward it is often a move that catches even the most seasoned of expat by surprise.
Those who think it’s ‘easy’ have probably never done it!
A recent study found that 70% of returning expats said their self-esteem was impacted, whilst as many as 85% experienced challenges reintegrating into the local business community and workforce.
With repatriation challenging both our personal and professional lives, coupled with the current global volatility, the need for planning has never been more crucial.”
At our July FIGT Melbourne event, we will be joined by Margot Andersen, founder of Insync Network Group. Our discussion will look at the planning and strategies to ensure that you arrive well | work well | live well upon your arrival return ‘home’.

Holding the fort abroad
Rhoda is a coach for solo parenting expat mums in long-distance marriages – a topic she knows intimately after 15 years living a global life in an intercultural marriage, while raising third culture kids (TCKs).
There will be an input by Vivian Chiona, the founder and director of Expat Nest, which offers an e-counselling service for adults, parents and teens navigating the international life.
Jo Parfitt from Summertime Publishing will also say a word as we celebrate – with friends from all over the world – the publication of this much-needed and long-awaited book.
“You moved away to be closer together…
But now you’re further apart than ever…
Your partner’s job opportunity in another country seemed like an exciting idea, but lengthy work assignments mean you’re holding down the family fort – alone.”

New WEBINAR series
“Reinvention in time of COVID – From trapped to inspired”
The webinar includes few activities to work on perspectives with which change is perceived.
True to our concept of Adapting, I am excited to offer a new webinar redesigned to the context of COVID.
The focus then shifts to an assessment of constraints and opportunities these uncertain times have brought us. Attendees will work on a skill drill and will leave with a project to work on: her/his personal or professional reinvention roadmap.
