Hi! It’s an honor to be the inaugural guest blogger for KendraInKSA.com. I’m Jeremy T. Wheeler, and in this vlog I share some obstacles I’ve encountered when trying to apply for a job and move to Saudi Arabia. This is part one of a two part series where I discuss the many hurdles I had…

one.
It’s so crazy to think I called off work, flew to Riyadh, and eloped one year ago. Here’s hoping to a lifetime more.
Snow City, Riyadh
I’m pretty sure every expat I know has checked google at least once to see “what to do in Riyadh.” Myself and all of my expat friends here are guilty of it. Every time we want to do something here rely on google to tell us stuff to do. That is exactly how we found…
Vlog: Staycation in Riyadh
Last week was the students break at university. My friend didn’t have classes, so she came to Riyadh to visit me. I still had some work to do so I couldn’t spend my vacation abroad; however, I did manage to have a great time here in Riyadh. Check part one to see how we spent…
Party in the KSA
“I don’t think I could survive in Saudi. It’s just so boring.” Yeah, I hear that ALL. THE. TIME. And they’re right, it is boring. Not dreadfully boring, but obviously not as great as back home is. What people forget to mention is that Saudi Arabia, like anywhere, can be an absolute blast if you know…
Not their cup of tea…
While I do enjoy the occasional cup of tea, I have to admit that I am not an avid tea drinker while I am in my own country. But that’s only in my country. When I come back to the Middle East, it seems I am drinking tea on a regular basis. If someone isn’t making it…
Vlogging
Hey guys! I am so excited to finally announce that my vlog channel is officially up! I am still learning how to create and edit videos, so please have patience with me until my skills improve. I am still learning 🙂 I hope to bring you more interesting and better quality videos in the future,…
Wedded Bliss
I know I promised to upload some content about weddings weeks ago, but still haven’t done it. Please don’t think I’ve forgotten! Moving internationally was very time consuming, and I had some issues getting wifi into my apartment. Now things have settled down a bit so I am hoping to work on my blog more. (I’m…
Foreignsick
Today my students asked me “which do you like more, teacher? Riyadh or Qassim.” I had to hesitate for a moment because, as much as I like Riyadh, I actually kind of miss living in Qassim. (I know, I never thought I would say that…) As difficult as it was living there sometimes I actually…
It’s the weekend
It seems every weekend Mamdouh and I find ourselves at his family’s house. Not complaining, because I’m one of the few people on earth that actually likes her in-laws it seems… but I am still a newlywed and still relatively new in the family (although not the newest as my brother-in-law got married in July…
