Gemzee Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi All I'm new to this forum and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Gemma, 30 years old and live in the centre of Perth. I moved here with my boyfriend (now Fiancé) in Nov 2012 (on a 417 working holiday visa) from Taunton, UK (where I was born & lived all my life), my fiancé is 28 years old and originally from Richmond, UK (but lived in Taunton from 14yrs old). We originally had trouble finding/affording our own accommodation (were staying with my auntie & uncle) on the 417 visa and got extremely homesick so went home in April. My fiancé’s company that he worked for over here then offered him sponsorship (457 visa) to come back, so we did 5 weeks later J We are now renting a gorgeous apartment in the city centre and loving it. We haven’t really managed to meet that many people here yet (we do have work friends, which is good) so I thought I’d join Perth poms and see what its all about J We mostly like going out to pubs/restaurants or having friends over for drinks & meals. My fiancé absolutely loves all sports esp English premier league footy & AFL and would love a couple mates to watch sports with in the pub! (most of his work colleagues are girls that aren't into footy). Not necessarily looking to meet anyone right away but thought joining here would be a start (I hope?....Do you have meet ups?). Anyways sorry if I have bored you all J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Welcome to PP and your post wasn't boring at all. Some people have organised meet ups - you can always organise one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
