There are so many great expat bloggers out there, writing about this fantastic world and their adventures, we like to take the opportunity to highlight their journeys whenever we can. We currently have 2,025 expat blogs (add yours now!), every Monday our Twitter Round-up shares the best tweets of the week, we feature expat interviews two times a week and every quarter we award our 5 Top Expat Blog Award.

And so the time has come again for our latest awards! These blogs have caught our eye for their ability to demonstrate life abroad (both the good and the bad) and their blog's unique style and charm.
