09/04/2012Editor's guide: Expat Voices in the UK

Editor's guide: Expat Voices in the UK Expatica welcomes you to its Expat Voices section, and invites you to take part in one of our series of questionnaires on life in the UK.

Our Expat Voices series gives the international community a chance to share their perspectives on life in the UK. We now have four different Expat Voices questionnaires catered to artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and expats in general. Want to be published? Fill one out!

Expat Voices

Our original Expat Voices questionnaire invites you to share your general experience of living in the UK. We ask about shopping, food, language, culture and what you like most and least about living in the UK.

Read about communication student Lidia Konar who compares life in the UK with life in her native Poland. South Floridian expat Jann Seal writes about reaping the benefits of the slow life in Wales and Dutch expat Anna van Haastrecht finds the British sweet and helpful but worries that the young women are wasting their potential.

Expat Entrepreneur

Our Expat Entrepreneurs questionnaire invites entrepreneurs in the UK to share their experiences of setting up and running their businesses abroad. The encouragement and tips offered by the entrepreneurs participating in this series makes these interviews an invaluable read for those contemplating starting a business in the UK.

Expat Writer
Expat Writer questionnaires are for published journalists and authors (online and print) with established success as writers in the UK.


Expat Artist
How has living abroad influenced your work as an artist? Our Expat Artist questionnaire finds out more about your life as an international artist in the UK and asks about your creative work, how you experience the local artistic community and the kinds of financial support which are available to artists working in the UK.

Read about French singer Yasmine Modestine who divides her time between the UK and France, and feels the art scene is more thriving in England.
