I love Russell's blog "In Search of a Life Less Ordinary". His posts are personal and informative, and he gives great advice/inspiration to other bloggers! My winner for Australia's Expat Blog Awards 2012

In a sea of expat Mum blogs, Russell's take on the expat life is refreshing. I love Russell's style and gentle humour and the way he is so very generous with sharing his experiences.

This is the blog that inspired me to try writing my own! I shared some similarities with Russell (we both moved from UK to Canada) and his blog helped me through the dark days of culture-shock. Reading ISOALLO was like spending time with a friend - reassuring and strengthening. Thanks Russell.

Being an expat in Australia myself, I find this blog relevant, touching and fun. It covers all aspects of living abroad with its joys and trials and tribulations.

Interesting, easy-going writing style, suits the day-dreamer in many of us. Beats the daily papers over here too.

I'm not too sure what a b-log is but I've always loved Russell. He used to write to me when he was doing time for "sausage-gate" and although we never met, I started to get feelings for him that grew stronger as time passed ! As Russell departed for Canada (his preferred choice to live until they checked out his extreme pet collection)) my love dwindled and moved to another member of the Ward family (Mo) and have not spoken to him since. Anyway, top B-log Rusty !!!!!
