Embark on a journey with us as we traded the quaint streets of the UK for the rugged beauty of Maine! It’s been a whirlwind of excitement, challenges, and new discoveries since we made the bold decision to relocate to the USA.
The decision wasn’t made lightly, but as soon as the job offer came in for my husband last September, we knew it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. With our children not yet of school age and a longing for adventure, the timing felt right. We had our reservations – concerns about uprooting our family, being far from loved ones, and the safety considerations of a new country. But the thrill of experiencing something entirely different outweighed any doubts.
Choosing where to settle in a country as vast and diverse as the USA was no small feat, especially with my husband’s job covering the entire East Coast. After careful consideration, we found ourselves drawn to the charm and safety of New England. And within New England, Maine captured our hearts with its stunning landscapes, sense of community, and reputation for safety.
Here we are now, nestled in the picturesque town of Kennebunk, Maine, and every day feels like a new adventure. From exploring the coastline to sampling local delicacies, we’re immersing ourselves in all that this beautiful state has to offer. And while it’s only been three weeks, we’re already feeling at home.
Join us as we embrace the unknown, navigate the joys and challenges of expat life, and discover the magic of Maine. From lobster rolls to lighthouses, each day brings us closer to falling in love with our new home – and we can’t wait to share our journey with you.
