Hello I'm Susan and I currently live in the USA. I'm looking for a way to join my boyfriend who is Irish but has been living in England for over 20 years. We met while I was on a trip there, and fell for each other. Since then we have been together, and it has been a little over a year. We want to be together, and I need practical advice and tips about how to move to the UK and establish myself by obtaining a visa, and also working there in my chosen profession as a mental health counselor.
I joined expat.com on 23 April 2011.
My boyfriend lives in Luton and works in London. I went to a class in Stansted and met him on a fluke last year. Since then he has visited me in the US, and I have been back to England in September of 2010 and January of 2011.
I love Europe, and most importantly I love the man in England!
The long flight back home and missing my mother who lives in the US and will continue to when I move away :(
I was born and raised in Lawrence MA and have not moved far from home since then, but have been wanting to get out there and live life and have found someone special who happens to live in England.
It is home and familiar.
It feels stale and like there is nothing left here for me to do...I'm just spinning my wheels and waiting until my life begins.
