My expat journey
London, England
I moved here in 2008 with my (American) husband, officially for his job, but unofficially to take advantage of living abroad!

San Francisco, USA
I was born, raised, married and permanently resided in various towns of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I last worked for a major retailer's e-commerce site.
The weather, the food, the people and it is home.
It's hard to complain about home without sounding offensive, but sometimes I feel that the Bay Area needs to get over itself. There! I said it! :) I still love it, though.
