No I haven't. Is there a way to do it without being spammy? I don't want to annoy anyone, but I do want to spread the word. The last two years were a lot of fun. Read More

Moving to BC - Trying to narrow down the options! by chishc
I'm not exactly an ex-pat, but I am planning a big move to the west (East Coast of Canada to BC), and I'm really hoping I can get some feedback from folks living in British Columbia - particularly the interior. I feel like I'll receive fewer biased ...

G'day all I know the cost of living is never a fixed amount as there are so many variables to consider, so I thought a better way to ask would be this. What is the minimum amount of cash/money in the bank people would recommend is needed for a ...
I did my maths based on a pretty bare bones lifestyle. I didn't include any money for a social life or personal shopping. With that said, here are the minimum wages in the UK just now: •£6.08 - the main rate for workers aged 21 and over •£4.98 - ... Read More

First timers to Europe... Looking for a local's advice by GuestPoster242
Hi, IÂ’m from Summit County, Colorado, USA but currently studying/living in Iceland. My hubby and I will be visiting Europe in May for 2 weeks. It will be our first time, so weÂ’re stoked to explore our ancestorÂ’s homelands! We already have two ...
No Worries :) I had a post thought. One thing people always ask is "what's the quickest way to Loch Ness?" to which I usually reply "don't bother." It is one of the most visited tourist spots in Scotland, be geographically and geologically speaking ... Read More

Hi. I'll dive right in. I would suggest definitely hiring a car. The train system is great and is by far my favourite way to travel, but if you want to see the countryside, especially up north, you'll need a car. Within Glasgow (pronounced Glas-go ... Read More
Kelowna vs Penticton vs Vancouver by mid_alex
Hi My wife and I are both in our mid twenties and trying to decide between these three cities. I'm Canadian, she's Scottish and we're living in Scotland now so visiting any of them at length is difficult. We like the outdoors, and are interested in ...
Thank You both very much. You've been very helpful. As moving time gets closer, I may come back here for more advice. For now though, we'll be getting started on permanant residancy paperwork. Read More
Going out in Glasgow by expat.com
Hi there, Which are your 10 favorite places to go out in Glasgow? Which places would you recommend to newcomers? (restaurants, pubs, discos, theaters, cinemas, concert halls...) Thanks!
I stay in the Merchant City so that's the area I know best. I enjoy a walk down through the Saltmarket to Glasgow Green, and I'll sometimes wander into The Peoples Palace and Winter Gardens. There's an amazing fish mongers at the corner of ... Read More
