Any advice for an American woman moving to Bucharest?

Expert Info

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Destination: Romania
I am a 29-year-old, newly single American woman, and figured that the best way to mend a broken heart would be to move far away - very far away - and start over. Plus, I've always loved to travel and the U.S. has begun to bore me. I figure that Romania is just as good of a place as any. Except for a few basic phrases, I don't speak much Romanian. Would the language barrier be a problem for me, or do most Romanians speak English as well? Also, where would be a good place to live? I'd like to find a place that is fairly upscale by American standards but still affordable.

How can I remain in the UK after graduation?

Expert Info

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Destination: London
My daughter Brandy is an American student about to graduate from Middlesex University in London with a degree in Music business. She has made a life for herself in London and wants to remain there long enough to obtain permanent residency. She has great references, incredible work ethic, and is musically talented (voice, songwriter). Her current job does not pay enough nor is the company large enough to sponsor her Visa. The same holds true for the internship Brandy received. Additionally the changes in UK immigration laws are making it that much more difficult for Brandy to stay.
