- Interesting listen
I enjoy this podcast and like hearing insights into SA. Lily I think is a great host and offers a really balanced view. Frankie I find annoying sometimes- I feel she’s so strongly defending her families choice to live in Saudi that she isn’t able to give an objective opinion. When anyone mentions the UK she’s very negative and sneers at the differences and it’s made me nervous to move to Saudi that everyone will be the same!

United Kingdom7 months ago - Eased my mind
Last year as hubby and I spoke about moving to Riyadh for his job, the search for all the questions and concerns, not only from myself - but from family and friends were answered here immediately. Not only did the conversations set my mind at ease about moving our 3 kids there- but excited me beyond belief. This podcast continues to inspire me to build the life of our dreams and can’t wait to join my husband and explore this Saudi desert with an open mind! Thanks ladies!
