About me
I’m Artemis Davis, an expat who moved to the UK from an Asian country in 2022. After going through the entire process of relocating to a new country, I realised how difficult it can be to find practical, first-hand information and tips on settling into British life as a newcomer, and encountered many difficulties during my transition.
Thus, I created this blog to share insights and guidance from my own experiences exploring everything from utilities and housing, to working and studying, to making friends and understanding the culture here.
My goal is to help other newcomers who are experiencing or are about the experience the same process by providing information I wished I had access to when first arriving in the UK. I aim to save you time, money, and frustration by sharing lessons I learned the hard way so you can have an easier transition.
Whether you’ve just arrived or are currently planning your upcoming move to the UK, I hope you find the tips and guidance on Livin in the UK helpful for settling into British life with less stress and more confidence. Please drop me a comment if you have any other questions as you embark on your own immigration journey!
