Author Information

Pamela uprooted herself to spend almost ten years living and working in Britain. Unexpectedly, she was faced with a steep learning curve as she adjusted to life in another English-speaking country. The culture, the customs, the food, the way of doing work: all this was similar but surprisingly different from what she had known in her home environment. Since her return to Canada, she has often been asked for advice about upcoming journeys to Britain. Now this book will provide all the answers needed for a well-planned trip or a stress-free move to Britain.
