If I was you I would stay in BC. I live down the road in Seattle but I’m back in the UK at the moment for a family funeral and really don’t like being back in the UK. For me it comes down to having a better life style back in the US sure I miss my close friends but at the end of the day but I still chat with them most days on messenger. I also find that there are too many wannbe thugs and gangster in the UK now, it’s just a joke.
I’m currently staying in Horsham West Sussex and to be honest I’m afraid to walk home from the local pubs at night these days because of the idiots out there. Yet In Seattle I’ll walk home via some risky neighbor hoods after a night out on the town and never feel like I’m in any sort of danger.
I’ve always said that if I ever had to leave the US I would head over the border to BC and not back to the UK.
