    Hello, I'm Carolyn!

    Nice to be here.

    My family will be moving to Edinburgh, Scotland mid of July. I will be teaching nursery in a Montessori school. My husband's name is Milo (I'm encouraging him to join the FilipinoUK forum too) and he is a budding chef. We have a lovely 7-year old son, Juan Carlos.

    Moving to the UK is our second family adventure. We lived and worked in Shanghai, China from 2006 to 2009. Taught in an international Montessori school there, son went to the same school, and husband was then a graphic designer in Shanghaiexpat.com.

    One of our main goal is to meet Filipinos in Edinburgh when we arrive there. Anyone here available to meet us up?

    As in any OFW list, I will need to tick off & find information about TFC, Filipino stores, best way to remit money to Manila, amongst others. Any tips?

    I think that's all for now. Will navigate the forum soon. I'd love to hear from you and meet fellow Filipinos (and those who are already Pinoys by heart) in Edinburgh soon.


    Cheers,
    Carolyn

    Huan ying Carol! Ni hao ma?

    We live about 40 miles from Edinburgh and meet my friends there oftentimes.
    Finished my short course there and met lots of Pinays.
    Hope to meet you soon and welcome to the club!
    There's one filipino store there and there are about 3 chinese stores that also sells Filipino goods.
    You can visit Iremit global remittance website and see if you will like their service.
    Have a safe journey!

    Mmm ... interesting lifestyle you've had, Carolyn. And it looks like it'll be equally exciting once you've moved to Edinburgh ... given a couple of the responses received here already. Good Luck to you, Milo and Juan Carlos ... and to the forum.

    Thank you for the warm welcome you all!

    Will learn how to make full use of the forums soon. And that would also mean editing my profile--but system didn't allow me to change my age! It shows that I'm 40 but I'm younger than that, believe me, haha. Oh well, just a wee thing.
