Would be so nice for me and Hubby to meet a couple where the Husband is from Wales like him and the Wife is from the USA. So I will start...
Garry is from Wales, UK
I am originally from Connecticut.....
and we live in the Concord, New Hampshire area. I work in Salem, New Hampshire which is 40 miles or so from Boston. Anyone live nearby? Would sure be nice to have a little British Expat Party sometime.

I've had the pleasure of meeting 3 other people from this forum in person.

Re: Where in the USA do you live?
Rita a/k/a Rete was born in Karlsruhe, Germany and came to the US at the age of 5 months. She has lived her entire 56 years in the small city just outside of NYC, NY.
James a/k/a Jim was born in Montreal and has lived all over the world during his 36 years with the RCAF. He has lived in Cold Lake, Alberta, Greenwood, NS, New Brunswick and BC provinces and lived for 16 years in Karlsruhe, Germany and one year in California and attended elementary school in South Bend, Indiana and for a short time was a green card holder when his family migrated to Maine in the 1940's. He retired from the RCAF in 1994 to Ottawa, Canada.

Re: Where in the USA do you live?
Chris was born and raised in Queens, NY - this is where we live now (down the block from the house he grew up in, which is weird sort of haha). And I lived all over in Canada, and a few different places in the US, over time. Queens now, obviously

Re: Where in the USA do you live?
I guess I can contribute to this too. My wife was born in Russia and moved to the US when she was 12. She's now a USC. I was born in Russia also. We met online in September 1998. Got married in Moscow in April 2004. I moved to the US in September. We now live in Reisterstown, suburban Baltimore, MD.

Re: Where in the USA do you live?
Well this is an interesting thread. So I wanted to contribute.
I was born in Bournemouth, England. Our family moved to Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia when I was 7. I then graduated in 2001, moved back to England where on vacation back to Australia a year later met my now American wife. Confused? I am
Angie was born in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. She has lived here her entire life, but has moved to different area's of Wisconsin like Fond Du Lac, Madison and more recently Milwaukee for university.
So there is our contribution

Re: Where in the USA do you live?
Hi, we want to contribute too.
I was born and raised in Finland and my husband was born in St.Louis
Illinois. We currently live in Salisbury, NC. I came here originally on a
H-1B but we had already met before the visa went through. I spent over 2
years in Texas as a tourist going back and forth every 3 months :)

Re: Where in the USA do you live?
Ok my turn.
I was born in The Netherlands, moved with my parents to Australia (Melbourne) at the age of 3 years. I lived in Australia for 18 years, moved back to The Netherlands when I was 21. I am now 46, married to the most wonderful woman, and live in Kentucky, where we will be together till the day God needs us upstairs.
