I am seeing a TON of 5/10 approvals today. I’m sure the numbers tomorrow will be amazing!

You're the only one to say so 😂

I was fortunate enough to be a phd student last yr so did 3 trips, two were 2months so yeah. I really like his town, dunno if I could stay there long term, I'm used to the ocean and cities but at least while his nephew is growing up!

I will also be in San Francisco! and despite the probable bug with the numbers today, I'm excited because I just picked up the custom-made trousers I'm going to get married in. It's all feeling very real!

Aw that's so sweet! I think it truly depends where you are in a state. There are great places to live in every state! The US is amazing in terms of diversity.

I agree! US is so big it's difficult to completely write off I feel. There's a lot of Kansas I wouldn't wanna live but he's in a very liberal, friendly area. He also lives near family and we get on so I'm excited to move there.

 

Also originally from South Africa so I find UK waaayyyy to claustrophobic for me, look forward to wide open empty space again

I really agree with you about writing off the whole US – so many of my British friends are horrified that I would even consider moving there! But it's easy, when you're from a country as small as the UK, to forget that each US state has its own subculture (and many states are big and diffuse enough to have several). I'm sure you'll have an awesome time in Kansas!

Yeah my bf was surprised when my flight from south uk up to Scotland was only as hr. We looked it up and the whole uk is almost same size of Kansas alone!

 

Obv everyone has their own needs and US has some laws and cultures that may be a write off to people but same can be said for UK (as it is for me). I made sure my bf was open to moving state/country in future if it turns out it's not for me though but yh hope everyone is moving somewhere they love!

I think you will like it just fine, especially if you have friends and family! 

 

I had never really been many places before I visited the US, specifically Arizona (which in my opinion is an incredibly beautiful state, a must see for sure). I was floored when I did! It is so big and wide and everything feels spacious and like you can breathe. I grew up in a very densely populated European capital so to me it was like a different world.

Ah yes it's very different to europe, I grew up in a similarly open place and houses were fairly spaced out, living with a shared wall was not even a norm outside of apartments 😂

 

I've lived in 4 countries (5 if you wanna count scotland) and 2 never felt like home, bf's place does so I'm excited. If you love the feeling of being there I'm sure you'll love living there 😍

The appreciation of open space never really goes away, I personally find European cities exhausting although I know US will have similar, like NY!

100%. I love nature and big open spaces so I enjoy every moment I'm there! I'll be visiting this summer (last time I was there was last October) and I can't wait! I wanna go to California this time haha

There's so many places I wanna see in US. It's exciting to have a whole new place to explore 😍
