Why this exists
Holding on to your American identity while living in the UK
Living in the UK as an American means navigating two very different cultures separated by a common language. You don't have to do it alone.
A place where you can be fully both
Your American roots don't have to be hidden, your struggle finding proper Mexican food is understood, and your bicultural journey is a strength.
What you'll experience
- Meet American expats and students nearby
- Speak without having to explain your accent or slang
- Share experiences about visas, the NHS, and dual-taxes
- Celebrate Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and Super Bowl Sunday
