[VIDEO] 5 Mistakes I Made When Moving To England
I love being an expat living in England, but that doesn’t mean I don’t also have mistakes I made when moving to England. Here are some things I wish I had done differently – If you move to England, maybe you can avoid them!
Of course looking back, it’s much easier to see the mistakes I made rather than when I was in the moment. Such is life! I love England and living in England, but there’s always going to be things I wish I did differently.

Thanks for another great video Alanna. I completely get targeting a job first – rental/mortgage costs in the UK are insane due to the long running housing shortage, so that’s an immediate source of anxiety. And work is what everyone does – the norm – it provides more than just financial security. Tho perhaps your boyfriend could have supported you for a bit ? What I’ve done is take time off between permanent jobs. Contracting would be another way of doing it – work for a set period then organise time traveling. Ever thought of changing your job ? Medway is on the up by the sound of it. Have a look at Dovetail Games in the Dockyard – perhaps enter in an admin role to make it easy and get the feel of the place, then change internally to something more suiting your talents?
