Claire Turner, 33, gallery owner

Claire holds up her hands to show her nails. Dont they look awful! she cries. I so miss New York manicures. Thats not all Claire misses about her other life in the USA. For two years she has divided her life between her home town, Manchester, in the North of England, and Brooklyn, New York. She has an art gallery and a home in both places. She flies once a month at a time in each.

I dress differently in New York: pearls, contact lenses, no jeans, and I wear my hair up. Americans love the English accent, so I feel I should act the part. After work in New York, she may sip a glass of wine or fruit juice in a trendy bar, but after work in Manchester she goes to the local pub for a pint of beer. Her two homes are similar, though. In Brooklyn, I share a rooftop flat with an artist. I can actually see the sky! She can see the same stars from her city-centre loft in Manchester.

Claire loves her transatlantic lifestyle. Her husband travels a lot in his job, too. They met in Manchester and married in New York. Were not always in the same country, but our lives are going in the same direction!
