Gems
Introduction
Hi, I'm Gemma, I have recently graduated with a degree in Marketing and am hoping to move to LA in June. I am from Northern Ireland and currently live in Co.Tyrone. I am going to get a 1 year working graduate visa and am so excited to finally start preparing to go. I have spent time in LA last summer and loved it. I want to make contacts, hopefully get to know some people and make friends and possible contacts that would help me get a job/internship.
I joined expat.com on 15 February 2010.
Expat experience
I love LA, having spent time there durring summers, it honestly is my fav place. I want to move there on my 1 year graduate working visa very soon. I hope to get an internship or job in the marketing area- maybe PR/event/Media industry.
I loved the lifestyle. The weather is gorgeous which makes people so much happier. Everyone is so friendly and accomdating. I love the relaxed atmosphere and the peoples chilled attitude. The fact that theres beaches close by, its always hot is also a plus. I also love the fact that it feels like anything is possible there.
I grew up and live in Ireland. I am from the north, co.Tyrone. All my family are from here and have went to school and university here.
My family are here, its my home, the irish friendliness!
The size and lack of opportunites here. Also the weather is never great.
