American who just moved back to the USA after 12 years in Europe! Below is my “about me” while living in Dublin (where I created my account) and update can be found below My life story is fairly long to type out, and much better discussed/shared over a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Long story short I was born in Southern California, but was raised in Seattle Washington. I moved to London with my family for my senior year of high school for which what was suppose to be one year. I ended up loving London so much i ended up staying for University and a few years work experience. From London I moved to Istanbul for a job, where I lived 3 years. (I am actually 100% Turkish and learned Turkish before English, so it was cool to experience my "roots" for a few years, but this is a different story). After Turkey i decided 9 years outside of the US (home) was enough and it was time to move back. I moved back to Seattle for 6 months not working, just enjoying to city and catching up with friends I hadn't seen in literally 8 years. I got offered a job in Aviation in Dublin and took it right away - I never anticipated moving outside the US again, but hey, life's an adventure, make the most of it while you can. **UPDATE** After 12 years I’ve finally moved back to the US and already miss my time in Europe! I decided to offer some surfers after my return to continue to talk to people about their travels/life adventures! Anything you’d like to know, please ask!
