Hi! My name is Nimblesticks and I’m a hockey-playing home gnome — which is like a house elf, but way better. Obviously. I acquired my family while they were visiting a Canadian Tire in Canada (of all places, right?) which makes me a gnome away from home by definition. My Ma joined the American foreign service in 2023 and I wanted to share my experiences as the family travels the world; my Pops is a smart guy and suggested a blog . . . and here we are.
My Ma can be a stickler for rules, so in addition to the privacy policy, here is some standard disclaimer language:
Although my family is a part of the US Department of State Foreign Service, I am not. Any opinions found in this blog are mine, and mine alone, and are not those of the United States government, the Department of State, the Foreign Service, or my family. This blog is meant to be a creative outlet that serves to provide information to family and friends about my life — in general and while living abroad.
The information on this site is correct to the best of my ability and is not intended to be a primary source of information. Because this isn’t meant to be a scholarly publication, I often get my info from unsubstantiated sources like Wikipedia. Don’t like it? Feel free to do your own research. I’m magnanimous like that.
Photos found on this site are not for use elsewhere and especially not without permission. When I use someone else’s photos, I’ll give credit when I can find that information.
So happy I’ve been included in this blog’s distribution. What a fantastic idea for narrative viewpoints from Nimblesticks and Pops. Love it!
Pops is posting as himself! 😁
