Welcome to another instalment of the Quick Fire Questions derivative of the podcast. In this shorter format, I ask my guests a handful of questions to which they share a quick answer in order to hopefully inspire some future expats to follow in their footsteps or at the very least be entertained by some of the great answers!

Quick Fire Questions: Steve Cowgill a British expat living in Muscat, Oman.

Steve started his professional career in Manchester, England, before being given the option to explore life working abroad. He chose to look at the Middle East as his new home on an initial short-term stay, but 10 years later he has set some roots down with a family and a great career.
