Whether you are coming here to visit, study, or work for a short time or a long stay, living in a different country can be a bit overwhelming and daunting. You may be a bit unsure of the customs, local laws and procedures, and the culture. I know the feeling as someone who is a foreigner living in the United Kingdom. You will undoubtedly have many questions and few places to turn. I believe that part of making your stay an enjoyable one is to be familiar with the land you are visiting. The best way to get familiarized is to get hear the stories of people in a similar situation. I know there are many websites that offer information on this or that, but there are very few that give first hand experiences of what it is like to live in the UK. This website is designed to fill that void. Here, I will give my personal experiences and opinions of living abroad from a uniquely Canadian perspective. But whether or not your are coming from Canada to live in the UK, this site is for everyone who planning a short or long stay in the UK.

Over the next little while, I will be adding new features and content to the site such as a FAQ list and useful links. Please bear with me as I get the site to full running status. So again, welcome to England eh! I hope you enjoy your stay!
