expatsHellooooo my fellow expats! ^_^
There's not really much to say here right now, but I just figured it's always more welcoming to go to a new comm that isn't entirely empty! Who wants to join that?? lol.
So, a smidge of background about me; I'm a female, in my late 20s. I've been an expat for almost a year and a half now. Ex-US, current Belgian resident. I moved to be with my husband, whom I married shortly after crossing the ocean. Small affair, just us, in a destination wedding. At that point, I had only been abroad once before, when I came this way to spend a couple weeks with him a year prior.
Anyhow. Belgium is pretty easy as far as immigration goes, so I won't have all the answers for hard-to-get-to places, but I do know a handful of stuff, and am always happy to help try to answer questions! If nothing else, I will certainly try to help you track down the info you need. ^^ I also think I'll toss a few links in the sidebar for some other expat sources that may be helpful to members, one can never have too many resources, right? ~_^ If you know of any good sites helpful to expats, go ahead and send them my way, and I can include them also. And if you ever have any suggestions/questions/comments, I'm all ears! ^_^

Date: 2010-10-01 11:06 am (UTC)I'm a 「part time expat」, meaning I divide my life between my home-country (France) and another (Japan), but this situation may soon change (I mean that I'll graduate and find a real job).
I'm new to dreamwidth too, but I like the place.
I hope this comm will grow and will become a nice place to discuss expats issues, rants and joys !
