I am an American expat from Las Vegas, who studied in France, where I met my English boyfriend (who then became my husband) and now I live in England. For more about, please visit my blog http://quintessentially-english.blogspot.com/
I joined expat.com on 03 June 2010.
In Pau I attended L'Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour and lived with the most wonderful family you could ask for (Domi and her son Yann). While there I also met my husband, Luke, who was working as an English teacher and translator for one of the large companies there, incidently my maman française was his boss. :)
Pau was the perfect location to live. I was half-hour to an hour away from the mountains and the same distance away from beaches. That meant I was skiing every weekend in the winter months and working on my tan every weekend during the summer.
It seemed to rain everyday, at least during the Winter months. Most days I loved it, but there were some days when you would think to yourself "enough is enough!"
