Moving from Toronto, Canada to West Virginia, US
I am a 32 yr old woman moving to West Virginia soon to join my husband who recently started his medical residency there. We had only been married a few months before he got his offer.. and then he moved. I stayed back to sort out things with my career/work. I am a registered psychotherapist here in Ontario so I’m working towards full licensing which may take a few more months. My question is for the west Virginians who moved from a bigger city to WV. How did you adjust? What was it like? What worked and what didn’t? I am kind of still wrapping my head around the whole move and how I will live in WV. My husband works about 12 hrs per day minimum so I will have a lot of free time to myself. I enjoy fitness, cooking, films and music and art. I don’t drink anymore and I focus on having a healthy lifestyle. What are your tips to make this move easy? I’m so used to Toronto and living in a diverse place. I think it’ll be a big culture shock.
Any words of advice or comfort are greatly appreciated.
