Hi my name is Janae.
I am moving to Belgium on July 25th from California, USA. I am married to a Belgian citizen and I am moving to make a home with him. I am excited, but I am leaving all my friends and family in the USA. I am looking to make some connections so I don't feel so alone when I make it to Belgium.
I'm 22 (will be 23 at the end of March). I love reading and just overall having a great time.

Hi Janae,

I'm also from California, but I live near Kortrijk which is like 2 hours away from brussels with the train. It is nice to see people from Cali...when you get to Belgium maybe you can email me or something

I know that this is an old post...
Are you all better now?
Did you make friends?
I am worried because I am a person that talks a lot.
It would be so hard for me If I move and I don't make any friends...

Hannahadman, there is a mum advertising for a nanny now on xpats... take a look, she is looking for someone to look after 18 month old twins. My guess is she is living in east or south Brussels - not many people earn enough money to be able to afford a nanny, so likely to be in one of the favoured expat spots.

I see you been here a while now and I would like to ask you how did it go as I have moved here myself with my European husband last year and still trying to find my feet. Were are you living in Belgium? I'm in the Sint-Niklaas area. Hope you have some tips.
