Summer Fun!
Living and teaching in the UK is not just about the hustle and bustle of London. Too many people make the mistake of arriving in the UK, heading straight for the capital and then leaving two years later, without ever venturing beyond the city.
The UK has an enormous wealth of culture, countryside, coastline and nightlife and it’s all within half a days drive. The South of England is one such example.
The staff at our busy Southampton Office are eager to spread the word about what the South of England has to offer and have compiled a top 10 list of things to do:
1) Cowes Week – One of the UK’s premier sporting events, tens of thousands gather to watch the sailing and enjoy the parties - www.cowesweek.co.uk
2) Isle of Wight Festival – Recognised as one of the greats of the UK summer festival season – this one is not to be missed! - www.isleofwightfestival.com
3) Dry Slope Skiing and Snow Boarding – The Pyrenees it may not be, but you can still learn, sharpen your skills and have great fun at the Dorset Snow Centre - www.dorsetsnowsportcentre.co.uk
4) Monkey World – One for the animal lovers! Monkey World assists governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates from the wild. You can visit some of these beautiful refugees as they are rehabilitated into natural living groups - www.monkeyworld.org
5) Bournemouth Beach – over seven miles of fine, golden sand and home to Europe’s first artificial surf reef - www.bournemouth.co.uk
