Re: Love makes me move from Brooklyn to Brighton!

Hey - I moved from Brooklyn to Brighton too!!  (Well, with a small miserable year in Massachusetts in between.)  I don't have much advice about getting a job but words of encouragement? Well, I say go for it.  Brighton is very cool - as is Brooklyn.  You will absolutely LOVE it.  Good luck. ;)

A truly Brooklyn greeting to you!  I visited Brighton last year, and was amazed at how beautiful it was! It was a trade for my boyfriend.  I took him to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn.  Trust me, ours pales in comparison...although, the mermaid parade does give B.U.K. a run for its money.

Why are you in Brighton now?

Hi LadySlim, welcome. :) I think the majority of us here have moved for love, maybe we all need our heads checked? ;)

Best of luck to you with your plans. :) Are you coming as a fiance? Getting a job will be a little difficult unless you've got something lined up on a work permit. :-/

Where abouts in the UK will you be located?

Hi Leah,

Not coming as a fiance [smiley=blush.gif].  I've been sending my CV out just in case.  Hopefully someone out there will hire me.  In the meantime, I'm saving a ton of loot, but I expect that I will have to "live by my wits" for a while until I can find a proper job.

I'll be living in or around Brighton, not sure where, yet.  I'm sure you'll be able to find me.  I'll be the adult hogging the dance machine from all the teenagers on the Brighton Pier! ;)

Welcome LadySlim,

I'm a bit of an oddball here - British with an American wife, and now living in the US; but I do like to chip in with my 2ยข.   ;D

BTW, do you have a sister named Virginia?  ;)

Hi Mr_Val,

Thank you for the good wishes.  I don't have a sister named Virginia, sorry!

Well, if you did have a sister named Virginia, I bet she'd be "smokin"

hi Lady. I am a fellow Brooklynite. Make sure you get a visa sorted out or you may have a hard time staying and finding a job.
I have been to Brighton once, great restaurants, lots of diversity, nowhere to park. Just like back home  ::)
Anyways, good luck with the move, if you need any advice/someplace to rant, message me. I moved over in August of last year and the adjustment wasn't always 100% smooth  :-/

Lady, you are not crazy, don't listen to people that don't support you because they are too focused on themselves and dont care about you. I do strongly suggest that you get a visa sorted out, thats all. You can find a job when you get here. I was out of work for about a month when I first came here and it was hard but I got through it.
Message me whenever you like  ;D I'm listening.
