Life in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

In and around Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was the first country I have worked at outside of my home country, Philippines. The economy was going nowhere that time and I was desperate enough to try my luck working overseas. I was a husband & father to 3 lovely children and I had to do something to ensure that their future would be better. So, this is the country that gave me the opportunity to travel and experience the life of being an working expatriate.
