Lasairiona E. McMaster

Biography

Born in Northern Ireland I grew up dreaming of an exciting life abroad, and, after graduating from Queens University, Belfast, that is exactly what I did. Having recently repatriated to Northern Ireland after a decade abroad spanned over two countries (seven and a half years in America and eighteen months in India), I now finds myself 'home', with itchy feet and dreams of my next expatriation.

With a penchant for both travelling, and writing, I started a blog (www.lasandcolgotexan.com) during my first relocation to Houston, Texas and, since repatriating to Northern Ireland, I decided to take everyone's advice and finally write a book (or two) and get published.

My first book, Bloom Where You're Planted (life the expat way) is part-memoir, part how-to guide and tells the tales of my life as an expat over the last decade.
