Hey it's fantastic to live between two countries!

Hello Pam,

your situation seems very good ... but it points me out some questions (just some small technical questions)
Do you live half a year in Seattle and half a year in Austria (or it is less equal ?) ?
Do you have two homes ? With two "furnishments" or do you move in and out every 6 months ?
But for sure, you shouldn't forget something at home (the other one )
A job of freelancer should be the lonely possibility to have this life, isn't it ?

see you

Laurent

We are both in Seattle in the summer, then Austria in the winter, and spring and fall we are apart. How much time we spend in each place changes every year - it depends on my work and how much time The Euro-Husband can get away and a lot of other things...

We have two flats, one in Seattle and one in Austria. We own the Seattle place, the Austrian apartment is a rental.  I know that having two homes makes us sound very fancy and rich, but I rent the Seattle flat every winter to cover the expense. The Euro-Husband works for the Austrian gov't and we live in cost-controlled housing in Austria.

And yes, freelance work is the only way! American employers will barely give you three weeks, much less three months vacation.
