    As an expat here in England, you guys really hate each other and it’s super odd. I’ve experienced more psycho neighbors here than I have literally anywhere else, I’ve never had problems before moving here. I never have problems here when the neighbors are other immigrants like me, though. There’s a big cultural issue here with this and it’s worse the closer you get to London. It’s definitely not everyone, though and the good ones are the kindest most smart, meek individuals I’ve ever met… I highly recommend the book Watching the English. Classism and bullying is deeply ingrained here but there is a lot of hope. It is changing. Scotland isn’t like this.

    What sort of things do you like to do? Do you want to be outside, work with the elderly, teach, or ?

      True honestly, I’m not a Briton originally, and the people I’ve made the best connections with aren’t either, or are heavily global in culture thanks to the internet.

        If you would like recommendations, I can point you to places to look for outdoor stuff. :) Every though about doing community archaeology or maybe working with local rewilding projects?
