Two Years In

On 7th Jul 20207th Jul 2020 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat Stuff, Random MusingsLeave a comment

Leading up to our two year mark I couldn’t help but to reflect on what the month leading up to our move was like. I looked back and felt anxious for ourselves. It was a monumental undertaking, there was so much to do and that was just to get us on the plane to the …

Guess who got a job! This girl!

On 30th Jan 2019 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

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 …

Bringing our dogs to the UK

On 21st Jan 20192nd Jan 2021 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

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, …

Some Links for the UK-Bound

On 14th Jan 20192nd Jan 2021 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

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 …

4 Months in (ok, like 4.5 months in)

On 18th Nov 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

I've dropped the ball a bit on posting weekly as I had intended. I’ve lacked some motivation lately, as I was sick for a little while and am now working on becoming a functioning human being again. I managed to catch the flu for the first time in… I don’t even remember when I last …

Ten Differences Between the US and Scotland

On 19th Oct 201815th Feb 2019 By lindseysgonemadIn Random MusingsLeave a comment

This is a post I have been wanting to pull together for a while now, but how in the world do I cover all of the differences between Scotland and the U.S. in this post? I don’t. Seriously, I just can’t, but what I can do is throw out at least a few of the …

Regrets?

On 28th Sep 201825th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat Stuff1 Comment

Over the last few months the topic of “regret” has come up a few times on different FB groups I’m in and it’s generally someone who’s getting ready to move here or is seriously considering the move and is wondering if any expats in the group have regretted the move. This is a very real …

NINos, Utilities, and Bank Accounts, OH MY!

On 14th Sep 201825th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

There is so much involved in immigrating to a new country... duh, you knew that, I knew that, but really, it can be overwhelming nonetheless. I can say that I feel confident that all of my research prior to the move prepared me for the many things we'd need to do to start our lives …

So you want to be an Expat

On 31st Aug 201826th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

I have joined several expat groups on Facebook and about once a week it seems there will be a new member who posts something like "I have always wanted to live in the UK and am going to do it!" and then go on to ask questions like where should they move, how people found …

Our Last Week in the U.S.

On 27th Jun 201825th Oct 2018 By lindseysgonemadIn Expat StuffLeave a comment

This is the week. We fly out this Saturday. It’s still pretty surreal. While I have a firm peace that all will work out, and it really has so far, my natural biological response to all of this has left me on edge. I’m not sleeping well, there’s so much to do and of course …
