Who is writting?

My name is Jacques, and I am living and working in South East Asia since 2004.

Why do I write this blog?

I started Rich Snail as a mean to document my journey. I see it as platform to write down my thoughts and reflections, share the inspiration and insights I come across, and hop many interesting discussions will follow. So please feel free to react, correct me, or share your nuggets of wisdom here!

What does Rich Snail means?

Good question! Snails have always been pictured as having their home on their back. I thought it would be appropriate for an expatriation related blog. I often picture expats as snails who go explore the world. They are adventurous, and learn many new things down the road. They also need to know they have a safe haven they can curl back to when needed.
