Greetings from Windsor

My name is Karim, I am 43yo and I live in Windsor, Berkshire.

I am French and I have worked in hospitality for the past 22 years and my job took me in places as different as New-Zealand, Australia and Canada.

I love travelling and discovering new exciting places and learn about their History, traditions and People.

A little anecdote is that I was lucky enough to live in Summer for a few years as I worked in south of France from March to October and in Russell, Bay of Islands, New-Zealand from October to March. Since then, I must admit that "old winter" came back to me...

My interests include travelling at home and abroad, creating miniatures on a 1/12th scale - mostly with the Victorian times in mind - reading, movies, walking and renovating my home in France.

This year, I have embarked on a journey of discovery of this country that has been my second home away from France and England keeps enchanting my senses with its variety, the beauty of its scenery and the wealth of its history and traditions.

I, who used to think for so many years and excitement and emotion were about "long haul" journeys, have finally discovered that beauty often lay on your very door step for you to enjoy.

I will be delighted to take you along with me on my "escapades" around the UK with a short presentation of the place spiced up here and there with a few little anecdotes and pictures.

Thank you for welcoming to this forum !

Hi there Karim and welcome to BE.

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to introduce yourself . I've seen the thread you've posted in The Lounge about your travels around the UK. You've posted some fabulous pics...many that I can relate to. I'm going to move this thread into one of our Moving Back To The UK Forums because I feel you will get a better response from our members who post in that forum. If you have any experiences of other countries to share with our members please take a look through the list of BE Forums and post them in the appropriate country's forum.

BE is a large expat website...so it's understandable that you may have problems finding your way around our many forums. We have a team of concierges who will direct you around the website. You can find a list of their names at the bottom right hand side of this page. For all other problems or concerns please contact a moderator. Every BE forum is assigned at least one moderator...you can find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index page.
