I've been living in England for nearly three years now. I married a citizen of the UK and we're living happily in Hastings. I found this site because I have a couple questions left in me about settling in. But I've already seen a couple questions I can answer for others, so I chose this site over others because I can give back.

I look forward to getting to know others in similar situations!

Hey there, interesting story.
I've been to London and do travel whenever. Found this site via google on a topic I was browsing up. Guess, not many people like you here, huh? Hope it is a compliment. ....well, it is. Do half of "us" even know what "expat" means? Hee-hee!. Kinda funny to apply it in the US.

Try saying "hey, look expat-!!" to the touristy looking guy you see at Starbucks & everyone'd look funny at me. Well, just making a conversation. It's cool I get to be one when I'm elsewhere for sometime.

All the best & take care.

Hello from an American in Ecuador. I've visited England many times and love it. Welcome to the forum.
