    The only thing I would say about Edinburgh is despite how beautiful and historic a city it is, it's also very expensive.
    It's also one of THE fastest growing cities in Europe right now, even more so than London.

    Thanks for making this!! How do the winters compare?? I am from the national capital region in Canada so our winters are horrific here, but I know that snow and dry cold here can be almost as bad as really humid, wet winters over there!

    can you link the FB group you found your flats in? or is that also the meadow share one? (from the video it sounded like that's just where you met friends and there was another group where you found the flats) thanks!

    Hey Girly! I loved the video 😍I was just wondering if you could help me with one little question. I have heard quite a few people say that if you are new to the UK with no work contracts to show yet you would have to put up 6 months rent upfront. Did you find this to be the case with flatshares as well? this would really help as I am planning on moving to Edinburgh middle/end of 2023.🙏🤗

    Can questions only be about your move to Edinburgh? Because I am curious to know how many countries have you been to? Since you said you used to travel. Also, have you ever traveled to somewhere in Asia?

    • @majelleabell
      @majelleabell  2 роки тому +1

      I’ve been to 16 countries! Mainly european ones, so no Asia yet!

      It’s so odd that it’s like that! I’d recommend applying for a jobs that allow you to be sponsored, I know it’s a harder process, but it may be worth it 🥺

      Hi, the UK government is currently considering (or has already passed) a bill allowing alumni from the world's top 50 universities to come to the UK on a 'high potential individual' visa. Maybe this applies to you I wouldn't know, hope this helps :)

    I hope you can pronounce Edinburgh correctly now rather than how the English pronounce it incorrectly like you have done in this video.
