Default Looking for a friend

Since many ppl here are dealing with homesickness and isolation when first moving to US, i decided to start this topic to help finding new friends in your location.
Starting from myself:
I live in Chicago,Il and would be glad to meet new ppl

We will be there in a few months Mandana (as you already know) and I won't be employed when I first get there (I'm going on an L2 visa) so I'd be delighted to keep in touch.

Look up when and where meet ups are for one in your area. That would be a great way to start the ball rolling. Also see if there is a page in the wiki giving the number and/or nicks of where other Brits live in the US.

Believe that Chicago is still in Illinois ... unless they moved it recently.
