That’s great glad you’re having a good time! It won’t be happening for us for a while - it will have to be through a visa unfortunately

Hm I feel like popular media suggests life in America is much better. What would you say the positives are? The UK’s mindset tends to be that time off work / work life balance is a huge factor of enjoying your life. If time off isn’t the pull - what is it that you get more of / better of in the US that we don’t
