Hello everyone!!

My name is Patti and I am from Belleville which is about 1.5 hour east of Toronto. I have been living in the UK for just over 6 years minus the 2 years I spent in Germany.

We travel alot with my hubbies job so move house every 2 years so i get to see alot of Europe. We recently went to Gambia in Africa for a holiday and that was very interesting.

I love to travel and experience different cultures as well as chill out on a nice beach.

I miss Canada lots and usually stock up on Tim's coffee and Kraft Dinner when I go home.

You guys can't get Kraft dinners in England? Weirdly enough, I can get them here in Malaysia at Tesco - a British chain!

I haven't seen any in the UK. I used to be able to get it when I lived in Germany as there was a Wal Mart there. Mind it was super expensive compared to home.

Hi Everybody,
I'm Carolynn, and recently I decided to move to Rome. My family is all here as well as my boyfriend... soooo it was a clear decision. Either way I haven't met any Canadians in my time here, mind you it's only been 6 months but still. I met an American tho... haha it's funny I wasn't capable of speaking english with her like I used to. lol. Anyway, can't say that I'm missin Canada like crazy, but I can say for SURE life is easier at home. haha.
