Hello from a new British Expat
 

Hello,

Just emigrated to Charlotte, NC from London.

Did a year out here as a student a few years ago, so not all completely new to me, but feels very different to be here permanently!

Big life decision, but you only live once!

Welcome to BE, Rob!

Welcome

When you get the inclination to explore, check out Charleston in South Carolina. Beautiful in places and some amazing history there. There's a very historic plantation there (Magnolia) I'd highly recommend paying a visit to

Here indefinitely or plan on returning home?

Hi Rob, welcome to BE and to NC. :)

What brings you to Charlotte? :unsure:

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

:welcome:

BE is a great resource and full of helpful folks..... tell us more about yourself!

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

Welcome Rob, from a Yorkshire expat in GA who has yet (to my shame) to visit Charleston and some of the beautiful areas there. This is a great forum for help and advice! :cool:

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

Thanks all.

My wife is originally from Charlotte, she'd survived 4 years in London with me, but was keen to move back, and both we agree there will be a better quality of life for us and our children here.

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

Amen to that, We have the same attitude.

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

Welcome!

My wife and I have a similar story. SWMBO stuck it out for eight years; she's much happier to be back on this side of the pond now too. ;)

You have to like that username. I'm pretty sure my better half will be too :)

T minus 2 days to my interview!

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

Hi! I'm moving to Charlotte with my American wife and children in Winter 2016/17, for largely the same reasons as you.

Roughly whereabouts in the city did you decide to settle? We're looking at Fort Mill, Huntersville and Gastonia. Amazing what you can get for your money compared to SE England.

I'm planning on working as a Business Analyst in finance/banking -- trying to garner details on that at the moment...

Re: Hello from a new British Expat
 

We're in Mint Hill at the moment, but staying with the in-laws :unsure:

Waiting til I get a job and we work out where will be best.

My wife grew up in Huntersville, she liked it there.

Good luck with everything.
