Hi I'm new to the forum and SLC.

A bit of background - I am from an english speaking western country, very similar to the US. I moved with my wife and 2 kids 1 and 1/2 years ago to Virginia. We then moved here to SLC about 6 months ago. So as well as settling in to a new city, we have had to settle in a new country, new schools, banks, every day US life etc.

So how do I like SLC? I don't like SLC…. I LOVE it!! We have fallen in love with this place and plan to stay here quite a while.

Few things I love about it.
Number one is our suburb - Sugarhouse. This place rocks, so much I love about it. Mini cosmopolitan community, fantastic parks and shops.
SLC in general - Cheap housing - compared to Northern Virgina
People are more layed back then the east (massive generalization I know)
Limited traffic - (the way I travel anyway
and the outdoors Utah life in general - the mountains, the skiing, the desert. It is spectacular

Of course like anywhere there are things I don't love so much, but honestly, they are totally outweighed by what is great

If anyone has any questions about my experience as an international moving to SLC, ask away. And thank you Salt Lake City
