Hi everyone,
My name is Sam. My wife and I have lived in Bury St. Edmunds for close to three years now. We became expats in 2011 when we moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands. My wife was transferred there for work. We lived in Rotterdam for two years before moving to England, again for my wife’s work. We were living in Phoenix prior to moving to the Netherlands.
We have loved our experience so far. Well, the majority of it anyway. There have been a few hiccups along the way that have made me miss the good ‘ol USA. Thankfully those are few and far between.
I haven’t worked in the past 5 years by choice, but I’m starting a job search soon. I’m heading back to the states in August to visit family and I’ll start looking for work when I return. I have a degree in mechanical engineering, but lately I’m trying to do some creative stuff like photography and writing. I’m ok with the photos, my writing is lousy.
We would love to meet up with some fellow Americans that are living over here. Let me know if you’re in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire or other nearby counties. We get down to London quite a bit, so we can even meet up with people there. We can get together and commiserate about the lack of garbage disposals and window screens!
Hope to hear from y’all soon.
