My partner and I split our lives between the US and Canada — and have no plans to pick just one place
My partner is in Canada, and I live in the US. Neither of us is in a rush to move, and we've discussed splitting our time between both countries.
Catherine Collins and her partner Andrew reside in the US and Canada, respectively, with no immediate plans to choose a single location. They share a long-distance relationship, having met at a conference over a decade ago and running a remote business together. They have two children from previous relationships, which prevents them from moving permanently.
While in the US, Collins enjoys certain conveniences unavailable in Canada, such as apps like Venmo and Cash App. She also cherishes experiences unique to American culture, like eating at Chick-fil-A. In Canada, she enjoys a more laid-back pace and the opportunity to slow down, with a healthcare system funded by taxes that eliminates the stress of unexpected medical bills.
Collins anticipates spending alternating years in each country, balancing the advantages of both cultures.
