My expat journey
Hull, England, England
came in with my job
shipping coordinator
lot's of green spaces everywhere, cheap if you like going out to party, pubs are great, cheap overall cost of living, large East European community
limited job opportunities, city is quite poor with lot's of people struggling to make ends meet, some of the locals blame the immigrants and the EU for all their unrelated troubles.
Marseille, Provence-Alpes-C么te d'Azur, France
Ship management
The city is beautiful , great transport , lot's of nice places to visit both in the city and around the area.
Nobody speaks English! , some places are not so safe at night , but they are not near any of the tourists spots so it is ok.
Valletta, Il-Belt Valletta, Malta
Shipyard Project
Ship Engineer
Valletta is like a fairy tale dream city , very beautiful old city and very organized.
Bonus I can see my workplace :the shipyard from the city , just a short ferry ride away.
It's all tourists in the capital , feels like nobody actually lives there any more.
Istanbul , T眉rkiye

Nice mix of East and West , great geography of city and mix of old and new.
Very crowded , Turkish is hard to understand , very limited alcohol in bars.

Hong Kong is crazy city , love the organised chaos and density and especially the skyline.
