Summary/Abstract: The articles provides an ethnographic insight into the practices and living experience of women in diplomacy observed from anthropological perspective of transnational practices of migrants. The focus of the research and analysis is primarily directed to those transnational practices of women in diplomacy which arise from establishing and maintaining stability in everyday private life on the location of their temporary life abroad. By choosing this specific social group, the intention was to re-direct attention from less privileged to more privileged transnational migrants and provide an ethnographic insight into the similarity of their practices through objects and forms of communication on different locations of everyday life.
