My Irish husband lives in the house full time, and I go back and forth between Atlanta and Cork.
Years ago, I had a dream (yes, really) telling me to head to West Cork, Ireland. On that whim, I booked a vacation and ended up meeting folks who’ve become lifelong friends and feeling more at home than I had in years.
Next thing I knew, I met a nice Irishman — who’s now my husband — and started looking at houses in the area.
I quickly needed to figure out the best way to live between two continents because, for the foreseeable future at least, I’m still in Atlanta part-time. I’d need time to figure out the logistics of things like filing taxes, getting healthcare, moving my pets, and transitioning my US-based work.
The prospect of splitting the year between two countries is exciting, but it’s also been a bit overwhelming.
