Have you ever dreamt of quitting your cushy job and starting a new life halfway around the world to follow your passion?

Jessica Fox, a Nasa employee in Los Angeles, decided one day to move to Scotland to live in a used bookshop.



On the face of it, that's quite impossible, so I'll be interested to see how she accomplished it.

That's kind of what I thought.

Heh, my first question is *always* 'so how did they get their visa?'

It's always possible she has an EU passport because of a parent's nationality, of course.

Still not sure how she got from 'could be a contractor' to 'living in Scotland'. I presume at some point she ended up on the family track.
