Canadians & Americans in the UK

Hi Victoria,

I’ve been reading your blog (Canadians & Americans in the UK) for the past couple of weeks, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for managing such a helpful and resourceful blog!

I haven’t been able to find anything on the blog about contents insurance and I was just wondering if maybe I’ve missed it? My boyfriend and I will be re-locating to London in May and we’re trying to see what our options are for contents insurance for things like golf clubs, computers, other valuable items. Have you written about this?

Keep up the wonderful blog! It’s truly one of the best resources out there!

1. I should have a “contact me” button somewhere on this blog.  If any of you would like to contact me directly, please feel free to email me at victoria AT classroomcanada DOT com.  I will do my best to answer your questions.
2. And for C’s particular question, yes! I should write a blog about contents insurance, and house insurance and all things insurance related.  I know one reader is writing a post about getting your UK drivers license & car insurance related to that so I will track him down and see how that is coming along.  But I will also do some research and see what I can find to help those readers who want to know about insuring their homes.  My first step will be to ask Colleen at London Relocation Services, as I’m sure she knows the answer to this one.  Watch this space!

On another note, I am in the process of converting the most valuable information from this lil’ blog into a handy-dandy & free downloadable ebook.  What do you think? 

Is it worth my time to compile all this info into an ebook, or should I just keep on with the blog?  I’d likely keep the blog up here, but just thought that some people might like to have the best “How To’s” as one easy-to-download & read ebook.  Kind of like my “Guide to Teaching in London: A Survival Guide for Canadians” but not about teaching and not just for Canadians. I’d like it to be free, and will ask for donations to Kiva I think.  What do you think?  Please let me know! Thanks.

And finally, have a fun weekend watching the Superbowl everyone!  Where will you be watching it this year?  If you’re in London, please check out this event and watch with your fellow Americans & Canadians in London.
