Christy Fisher is an American expat living in Paphos. She moved to Cyprus with her husband when he got a job as a brewer at a new microbrewery on the island.

Asproulla, a British expat living in Cyprus, met and married a local Cypriot and mothered her kids on this small island.

She merely recommends expats moving to Cyprus learn the local language and give her blog, Little White Donkey, the occasional glance. Read more about her expat life in Cyprus.
