About Us

We met on a Foreign Office training course and became friends before our careers sent us to different parts of the world. But fate intervened and we ended up spending 5 months together in Jedda. Jumping forward, we’ve now have three children (27, 24 and 21) and although we thoroughly enjoyed our Foreign Office careers, we are embarking on something new – Kabo Ltd. We will use this page to tell you about our experiences and adventures overseas as well as what we are up to.
