Blonde in Bangkok, Bombay, Beijing and Beyond: The Life of an Expat Woman

One life-changing decision... She loves the baby but not the man. Blonde in Bangkok, Bombay, Beijing follows Karen Page, a single mother and globe‑trotting educator, as she rebuilds life across eight countries. From Kazakhstan’s steppes to Bangkok’s chaos and Mumbai’s color, Karen turns cultural mishaps and parenting curveballs into laugh‑out‑loud stories and quiet, hard‑won wisdom. With warmth and wry humor, this memoir explores resilience, friendship, and the messy art of raising a child abroad. Perfect for readers who crave travel, heart, and honest laughter. Single mum to the indomitable Jelly, Karen proudly calls herself a global gypsy (with frequent flyer miles and questionable packing skills). From bargaining in Bangkok's markets to catwalking down Beijing’s Great Wall of China, she’s turned every wrong turn into a lesson and every local dish into a dare. Blonde in Bangkok, Bombay, Beijing, and Beyond is a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming memoir full of travel chaos, parenting by improvisation, and the occasional language faux pas. If you like your adventures messy, meaningful, and mildly ridiculous, buy the book. Her daughter approves... well, sort of; she is a teenager now, and we all know how that goes... and it's guaranteed to make you chuckle.
