The first thing you should do to explore the UK and be safe is to know the telecommunication system because it will come in handy if you need to call for an emergency. However, you can’t call for an emergency if you don’t know the correct phone numbers to call. So, be sure to learn about these essential numbers to be ready in case something happens. This will also give you a chance to seek immigration help if ever you feel unsafe while exploring the place.

2. Learn the Transportation Modes

Besides telecommunication, it will also come in handy if you learn the modes of transportation available near the place you opt to stay. Do your research or ask at the airport before exploring the place. This is a must-remember tip when you travel abroad.

3. Learn the Culture and Language

The known language in the UK is English, but there are plenty of different words from US English. So, if you’re not from European countries, you might need to do some studying about the language. Moreover, this will come in handy if you decide to stay in the UK permanently. For this matter, you can consult lawyers to provide you with an immigration guide.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
