Ah close indeed!
Well, Sam is half English and half Thai and Becca is English, but grew up in Portugal for most of her life. We live in Bangkok now and have been for the past year and a bit since Sam decided to do his masters here. Becca is teaching English to earn an income. We travel monthly to neighboring countries as she needs to do a visa run. Didn't want to sign a full time contract and get a work permit as the conditions of the contract restricts her from doing anything, but work for them and also we don't know if we'll be here after Sam finishes his masters at the end of the year. That is why we are looking at all options - stay and work, new place and work, travel and work, something else? Time is ticking away.
Our next trip/run is in two weeks; going to Vientiane, Laos for a long weekend. It should be fun!
