‘It’s the same, but different‘ sums up our life here in the US. So much is just the same as in the UK. But this is precisely why the differences sometimes jump up and bite us on the bum, or should I say butt!
This page gathers together all the posts that celebrate and question (and sometimes despair at!) these little differences.
It will be updated on a regular basis!

Pingback: 5 Blogs You Need in Your Life - chosen by Orli Degani | Love All BlogsLove All Blogs
Hi Sara, skim reading through your blog it’s very uplifting and inspiring. I’ve recently started my own ‘5 year plan’ to try and move to the US (or Canada) and blog to track my progress. It’s just gone live at http://www.statesideby35.com and I wondered if you’d be willing to share any tips you have on building a good looking blog site or how to get the expat dream off the ground. Appreciate you must get requests like this all the time though so no worries if you can’t. Thanks anyway and keep on writing!
