Introduction

I've become more patriotic living abroad in the last 7 years than I was in the US. I came to Sydney in July09 because it was a safe haven for bankers during the financial crisis--now I've got an American Jeep and no reason to leave the great weather.

Where are you from? (also note for picture requirement that profiles without legitimate/clear pictures will not be accepted)

Durham, North Carolina

When did you arrive in Sydney and how long do you plan to stay?

July 2009 and I plan on staying indefinitely. I've lived abroad for a while so no real pressure to go 'home'.

Have you lived abroad before, and if so where?

South Africa, Germany, and extended business travel throughout the rest of the world that I wouldn't quite call 'living'.

Where in Sydney do you live?

I hang out with friends pretty much every day--dinner or drinks in the city after work and on the weekends beach during the day and oxford street at night. I like throwing parties and organizing other social events regularly.
