The youngest of 4 children, I was born and raised in the Los Angeles, California at a time when a kid spent all day wandering outside, shoeless. In the 2nd grade at my school’s summer fair, I won twice in the cakewalk. Taking two cakes home I realized life had much to offer, even if one WAS completely covered in carrot that’s been my life in a husk, so to speak. I moved to New Zealand in August 2008, with my husband, to continue yet another chapter in what has been a beautiful and challenging life. I am a CPA candidate and have found a lot of U.S expats having problems with the IRS and Taxes. Just for that reason, I have started to write about what I know and my thoughts about Expat taxes and life. I hope each one of you find what write helpful. Share the knowledge! Stop dual taxation!
