Why did you move to America?
 
Hello all...

I am in the midst of writing a paper for my masters degree.

I am a Brit who married an American which is why I now live here.

What I am looking for is reasons why you, (assuming you live in America)k, relocated from the UK...

Details are up to you, I am just looking for some ideas of why Brits move to America!

Thanks in advance!
