Americans in Southampton/Hampshire?
« on: August 01, 2010, 11:09:17 PM »
Hi there!!

Just wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on the following?!

My wife and I got married two months ago and have settled in Southampton.

She is from California and we would love the opportunity to meet with any Americans or (UK-US couples) to share experiences of being in the UK!!

Please reply to this post if you would like to say hi!

Thanks very much

I spend some time not too far from Southampton (about 3 times a year to see the in laws), but I'm not American!  ;) Though I am from BC, so we are from the same coast..... :)

Congrats on your marriage!  :D

Hiya!

I'm not in Southampton but in Gosport (not far away).

I don't go to Southampton often but if you're interested in meeting up I'd be glad to make the trip over

Hi. I see the post is from awhile ago. I'm American and my hubby is British. We live near Southampton, near Stockbridge and Romsey.   We've been living here since the spring and haven't run into other ex-pat couples.  How are you guys settling in? We are living with my in-laws until we find ft jobs so luckily have family support. Let us know if we can give you any advice or something.

Hello!

I am American (originally from California too!) and my husband is French. We have lived in Botley, Southampton for about 2 years now. Would love to meet-up sometime!

Hey dariandjon, we are a US-UK couple.  We live in Dorset but I love Soton since I was actually born there before moving to the US at 6 months of age (and living there most of my life).  If you still want to meet couples, let me know and we'll drive your way!

Hi!

I realize this thread is pretty old... but that doesn't mean that some of you don't still live here!  (Hopefully!)  I'm also from California - been here for about three months, studying at Solent.  I'd love to connect with some fellow expats!

Hi. Just to add to the thread. I've lived in Southampton for just over 18 years. Originally from the east coast, Virginia/North Carolina mainly, but lived up and down from Jersey to Florida.

Yes, a meetup in Southampton is just what is needed! I'm not far from the city center, but I could take a bus anywhere (within reason).
