french by birth, californian by heart, on my way to London
« on: July 24, 2013, 01:30:52 AM »
Good afternoon all!

After a 10-year adventure in California, which became home for me, I am moving in London for a couple of years.

I decided that I needed to get closer to my family for a little bit, they are mainly in Paris, but couldn't put myself to move to France, so London seemed to be a good compromise. I would have missed the Anglo-saxons' way too much :)

Getting ready for my move in September, I already got some very useful information about traveling with pets from the forum.

about myself: I am a female, in my late 30's, entrepreneur (I have a store here in Oakland, and I also offer organizing and decorating services).

I hope I am not too much of an intruder, but if I am let me know. By experience, I know that even though I am super excited about this new chapter, I am going to be home (california) sick when I will land there, and this forum could help with that too. Starting with Halloween and carving pumpkins... 

Voila! thank you for reading.
