I moved mainly because my fiancee is here. She moved over here a year ago to do a dance internship but decided to stay. Through a series of events, I eventually came to the conclusion that I should be over here too.

Job-wise, as I've mentioned before I'm in tech so my skills are very transferable. In fact, while employed right now I've generated interest in recruiters wanting to send me in for interviews for their open positions (I work in social media analytics...somewhat a new and exciting field to be in I guess).

The old saying of "the grass is always greener on the other side" holds true here - many people who I know in Vancouver also originated from the UK. They absolutely love it in Vancouver. Honestly, quality of life in Vancouver is excellent and I can see why Vancouver is so consistently rated high.

Me as a young professional see also the value in an international experience. It's something very necessary these days and the experience I gain while working here will be invaluable if and when I decide to move back to Canada. London is such an international city it's kind of mind blowing. Some of the clients I work with are big names and I can go from one meeting to another in a matter of minutes. That's how close these big name companies are in proximity to each other.
