Many people question our decision to go from living together as a married couple in New York City to living in two separate cities, London and Geneva. We knew it wouldn’t be easy when we made the decision but we also knew that we would forever regret not giving it a try. While it isn’t ideal, it allowed us to not sacrifice either of our careers while still having the opportunity to live in Europe. Many of our family friends and co-workers told us that they had said no to similar opportunities and always regretted it. Keeping in mind the fact that nothing has to be permanent and this is something we’re testing, we agreed to give it a try.

Nine weeks later we can safely say that living in two cities, within an hour flight of each other, isn’t impossible.

We are together every single week Friday through Sunday evening or Monday morning. Luckily, thanks to the time change, Bo is able to fly back to London Monday morning when he is in Geneva. Having him here on Sunday night is such a blessing and something I will never take for granted again. My role allows me to work from London on Friday which means that each weekend, regardless of whether we are in London or Geneva, we are together three nights.

During our run together this morning we talked about what we’ve done to make the challenge easier. Hopefully our experience can help another couple who is going through something similar.  As always, if you have any questions, let us know! This is definitely something we’re willing to talk about more!
