hi from Hollywood
Hi, Ive been in Los Angeles for a year now - its been tough to get used to life here, its not the nicest, most friendly city I know.
I lived in Spain for 4 years before this so am used to being an expat.
Im 27 and work in the travel industry..... I don't know any Brits/Europeans in the USA and I miss home!!! especially with Xmas coming....
nice to meet you all..

LA is a world onto it's own. Have you joined any clubs etc to try to meet people. There are a couple of people in LA in the forum if I remember rightly. I know it can be hard when you don't know anyone but being on the this forum might just be a lifeline
We all have been through it and can identify with you.
