A month or two before we moved to Scotland a lady reached out through one of the immigration Facebook groups I’m in and was looking for people who were moving to Scotland. She was casting for HHI. In a message I told her about our situation and that I was fairly certain we weren’t what …
I’ve meant to post about our actual flat hunt for about… geeze, I guess it’s been about a year. Well, there’s no better time than now, seriously, it’s time. Why? Now I can fess up and admit that we filmed an episode of House Hunters International. Our episode will air on the 15th of July …

Before moving to Scotland I had pretty much resolved to not return to visit the US for a few years after our move. I figured it wouldn’t make financial sense and it’d be too difficult since I knew it’d take a while to sort our lives out here and wasn’t sure how a visit would …
I've not been very good about posting on here lately. I start to write blog posts, get overwhelmed, take a break, and then that post goes to live in blog purgatory. I may or may not have mentioned in previous posts that I’ve struggled with depression my entire life and while I won't go into …
I’ve found myself oddly “homesick” lately in some ways. Actually, I don’t even think homesick is the right description since I can’t say the US felt like home but I am longing for things long past at this point. Allow me to start off by saying I love Glasgow. I love Scotland. I never want …
We’ve lived in Scotland almost eight months now, it really does feel like it’s been longer. Things are going well for the most part.

Looking for a place to grab a bite in Glasgow? I’m keeping a list of the places I’ve tried and really enjoyed. I have a huge list of places to try still and will add any note worthy ones to this list as I go. Since I live in the West End you’ll notice many …
It’s so hard to believe we’ve been here seven months already. In some ways it feels like we’ve been here so much longer because of all that has happened in that short period of time, and in some ways it feels impossible that we’ve already been here this long. Every time I head south of …
Before we even visited Scotland in 2017, I was researching the process of bringing dogs over, trying to determine if moving to Scotland was even an option, just in case we loved it. No matter how much we loved Scotland we knew if the dogs couldn’t make it, or if they had to be quarantined, …
I’m taking a moment here to deviate a little from my usual ramblings. This post is specific to those wanting to move to the UK and/or who are in the process of moving. I’m setting up a “links” page but since that will provide lots of random non-moving related links I wanted to provide a …
