Laura soon settled into a new Californian life and she was able to take time to launch her Interior Design Business – ‘Laura Lochrin Interiors’.

Was there a particular reason you chose LA? I loved the lifestyle – the surfing, the hiking, the horse riding – and of course the Sunshine – definitely a little different from the West Coast of Scotland! Also we wanted our daughter to attend Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

What do you miss most from home? Of course family… but other than that it's got to be the food!! It's ridiculous, when I visit home I know I’m leaving at least 10lbs up! I really miss a good Indian, a good Chinese, a chippy and Wagamama…. I also really miss Sainsbury's and *Marks & Spencer
What was your first impression of LA and has it changed since? My expectation was always that it was laid back and relaxed, and I think that is still true now.
People are happy and believe anything is possible and that attitude never gets old.

What would you suggest to others who are thinking about making the move here? Really try and understand where you stand with healthcare before you get here, it’s a steep learning curve coming from the NHS, and the last thing you want is a surprise bill that you didn’t expect. But my experience has been nothing but positive so I would say, make the leap, California is so gorgeous and I have no regrets and truly feel at home here now.
Lots of our members join our group Brits in LA seeking out words of wisdom - what is the best piece of advice you've been given? Make sure you are a confident driver! And make sure you really understand the visa/immigration procedure, its daunting but just try and be as informed as possible.
Lastly, how can we find out more about you? Are you working on anything at the moment?
