Clara Wiggins

Clara Wiggins was born in Cuba to British diplomat parents and hasn't stopped travelling since. She's lived in eleven countries on five continents, and visited nearly 70. She will soon be on her way to country number twelve - South Africa.

Along the way, she's picked up a husband and produced two daughters. She has also worked as a journalist, writer, diplomat, press officer, antenatal teacher, customer services advisor, coffee shop waitress and a school cook. Although the last one only lasted for a day.

Until recently, there were two things on Clara's bucket list: publish a book and swim with whale sharks. With the publication of the Expat Partner's Survival Guide, only one thing remains - and she hopes to tick that one off in the next year or two.
