Welcome to our third round of the MyCurrencyTransfer.com Expat Star Awards<\/a> \u2013 and what a round it is!<\/p>\n

In this category, we\u2019re honouring the Top 10 Websites for Expat Women and let us tell you… the competition has been fierce.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we\u2019d like to extend an extra special \u2018well done\u2019 to each of our winners and finalists, which are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gold<\/a><\/p>\n

expatwomen.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @andreaexpat<\/p>\n

ExpatWomen.com earns a very well deserved Gold badge for being the benchmark site for Expat Women. It\u2019s the most informative, entertaining and switched-on platform on the web for intelligent expat women. From interviews and motivational tools to a directory and more brilliant articles than you can shake a can of DEET at. The only sad thing is that, after six years\u2019 of tireless dedication to women all over the world, director Andrea Martins and co are taking a much-needed break. \u2018Enjoy\u2019, we say. \u2018But don\u2019t stay away too long!\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a><\/p>\n

The American Resident<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @michelloui<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Michelle Garrett who walks away with our Silver title thanks to her well penned blog which combines parenting, homemaking and everyday life through the eyes of a long-term expat. One of our favourite bits about her blog is her food section, which features American recipes for British kitchens \u2013 genius! And is if that wasn\u2019t enough, Michelle even has a book entitled \u2018Love Living Overseas\u2019 \u2013 aimed at unhappy expats \u2013 coming out this Spring!<\/p>\n

\"Bronze<\/a><\/p>\n

ExpatMumsBlog.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @britmums<\/p>\n

Our Bronze award goes to Expat Mums Blog \u2013 a parenting blog for expat mums, by expat mums. Needless to say it\u2019s full of witty banter, well-though-out stories on travelling and living abroad with children by a range of different contributors from all over the world, including the UK, Bosnia and the US. Perhaps its best feature is that it showcases how parenthood and setting up home abroad is exactly the same and carries the same woes no matter which country you\u2019re in. This is a particularly great blog for anyone who\u2019s ever felt homesick. In fact, it\u2019s like a great, big, familiar hug!<\/p>\n

\"Finalist<\/a>
\nExpatangels.org<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @expatangels<\/p>\n

From expat divorce and parenting issues to advice on moving with children and weekend travel ideas, this blog covers the lot. Its strap line is \u2018By your side\u2019 and that\u2019s exactly what it is… by your side every step of the way.\u00a0 We love the magazine format and diversity of its features, which illustrate a range of topics from home and garden to food and family healthcare.<\/p>\n

Costawomen.ning.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @costawomen<\/p>\n

Costa Women is a social and business networking community for women living in Spain and is a great way to share friendship, support and information on local issues and services. It carries interviews, member offers, motivational quotes and a list of local events as long as your arm! It also has a great discussion forum and encourages members to get involved via Facebook and other social networks too.<\/p>\n

Commeunefrancaise.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @comme1francaise<\/p>\n

Ooh la la! This sassy little blog is cleverly put together by Geraldine Lepere, who lives in the French Alps and has made it her mission to help female expats living in the country to avoid some of the common pitfalls associated with the potential language barrier. From how to avoid coming across like a tourist to getting by on very little spoken French, Geraldine has all the answers. Consider her your expert \u2018on the inside\u2019!<\/p>\n

Counsellingwomeninfrance.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @counsellingfr<\/p>\n

Counselling Women in France is a blog with a difference \u2013 it helps expat women suffering from anxiety, depression and alcohol problems via online and telephone counselling. It can be a welcome helping hand in times of need as many women living in France have discovered over the past year or so. It\u2019s also helped expats to cope with the trauma of losing a loved one after hearing the news from across the miles and to deal with the \u2018goodbyes\u2019 after family visits without falling apart via some brilliantly authored articles in which fellow expats share their own experiences.<\/p>\n

Latortugaviajera.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @tortugaviajera<\/p>\n

Yum! This blog combines two of our favourite things: travel AND food! La Tortuga Viajera \u2013 otherwise translated as \u2018the travelling turtle\u2019 is a brilliant account of what it\u2019s like being an American living in Madrid and will certainly whet your appetite for tapas and paella. It also combines some great photography which, alongside upbeat stories which are expertly brought to life, helps to create the illusion that you\u2019re actually there with the author.<\/p>\n

Orangepolkadot.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @orangepolkadot<\/p>\n

This bright and cheerful website charts the adventures of one woman who\u2019s made the transition from California to Catalunya in Spain. It\u2019s already won a string of awards and is a great way to learn more about this fascinating European country \u2013 particularly from an expat point of view.<\/p>\n

whiteindianhousewife.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @aboutindia<\/p>\n

This fascinating blog of a Western woman now living in India. Our heroine in this story lives in Mumbai with her husband, a DJ in Calcutta, and her accounts of daily life in the East are brilliantly inspiring. In her own words, she cites her new life as making her feel \u201cmore fulfilled and free\u201d away from the shackles of material possessions. If ever you needed a little nudge in the right direction in a bid to fulfil your dreams, reading this blog could be it!<\/p>\n
