Britain outside of London is cheap, friendly, and relaxing

Tom — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 16:20:00 +0000

As someone who has spent much of his adult life going from one big city to another, it’s a welcome reminder that the largest cities in each country tend to be poor representatives of the rest of the place. Whether it’s Bangkok, New York City, Kuala Lumpor, or London, these places often have more in […]

Monday Escape: Blackpool, England

Tom — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:06:00 +0000

Some say that Blackpool was the world’s first resort for the middle class, or perhaps even the “working class” as the lowest tier is known in the United Kingdom. Its best days clearly seem behind it, but with one of England’s best and longest beaches, the place is still very popular in high season. With […]

After a few “summer” weeks in England, I see why there are so many British expats

Tom — Sat, 02 Jul 2022 11:21:00 +0000

I recently watched a Fleetwood Mac documentary which included interviews with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie from their homes in Hawaii. We got tired of the cold in England, they said. For most of my life I thought that was sort of a wimpy attitude, but after spending a few weeks touring Britain in the […]

Monday Escape: York, England

Tom — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 14:02:00 +0000

England is one of those countries that so much of the attention for visitors is put on the largest city, most of the rest is ignored. London is obviously one of the world’s great cities, but it has plenty of its own problems, not the least of which are that it’s crazy expensive and also […]

Survey reveals that Australia is the top choice among British expats

Tom — Wed, 23 May 2012 10:55:38 +0000

I’ll admit that I love a good expat survey because I find it fascinating trying to determine what motivates people to move from one country to another. Today’s information is courtesy of NatWest International Personal Banking, which says that there are currently 4.6 million British expats living in different countries around the world. There are […]

British expats report less homesickness for some key reasons, and they are not alone

Tom — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:44:30 +0000

Not all that long ago one of the major negative aspects of moving to another country is that you’d inevitably be homesick for the one you left. It’s totally natural to long for what we grew up with and are familiar with, whether that’s a small farm community in Peru or the concrete jungle of […]

Stunning fare sale to Bristol, England illustrates the need to check alternate airports

Cheap Flights — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:29:39 +0000

Airfares have become even more unpredictable lately and the normal patterns aren’t always holding up. In a typical winter you’d be able to find really cheap flights between North America and Europe, mostly because demand is quite low. In fact, the period of January through March is the slowest time of the year by far […]

The UK is becoming an even less appealing expat destination for families

Tom — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:26:45 +0000

The United Kingdom tends to be more of an exporter of expats than an importer of them, at least among those in the West. The country remains a huge draw for people coming from developing countries, but new survey results show that its appeal for people coming from the US, Canada, Australia, and continental Europe […]

A Survey of British expats reveals that fewer of them plan on returning to the UK

Tom — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:43:55 +0000

My anecdotal evidence turns out to mesh with the overall trend in that more and more British expats are planning on staying on indefinitely in their new homes instead of returning to the UK at some point. This article revealing the results of a survey done by Lloyds bank seems to fit with what I’m […]
