RE: Hello from a musician, artist, and poet joining the Steemit revolution
The Wife and I would love to relocate to the UK but of course the visa requirements are not kind to Americans, so as it is we can only spend six months a year there and not work. But we're still flirting with the idea of finding an affordable place to spend part of the year. It sounds like you like the scene around Glasgow so I'd love to hear more about it.
It sounds like the move was right for you but I'm curious what you were doing in London?
Yeah, visas are tough here. Glasgow's a great place, it's beautiful and has a brilliant community feel. It's also quite cheap ;)
I moved to london just over 8/9 years ago. It felt like the right thing to do at the time, and I think it was. But the vibe there now is not great for struggling artist types. It's too expensive, too intense.
The dream for us would be six months in the UK, then the three months we're allowed in Europe (the "Schengen area"), then three months back in the US. But of course we have the pesky distraction of having to make an income while we do all this gallivanting. Scotland does sound like a beautiful place and a good way to keep our costs down.
Ace, well you'll just have to steem yourself across the continent!
