No one else writes about the highs and lows of this diplomatic life from both the perspective of the posted diplomat AND the accompanying significant other like the lonely diplomat.
Read one, two - or binge them all - of the articles to be supported, challenged and inspired through Phil's lived experience, wisdom and insight.
They're all here for you as you live your diplomatic life and want to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
You're not alone.

Recognising First Nations peoples and cultures is important to us.
We acknowledge the First Nations people as the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and connections to land, water and community. We pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal, Turrbal, Kulin and Gadigal Nations past and present. Always was, always will be.
We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua and Treaty of Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand. We pay respects to Māori as the mana whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand.
We warmly welcome humans of all backgrounds and identities engaging with this work. We see you because we are you. We're proud of you.
