Inspired by the Life in the UK handbook and test, I’ve embarked on a year-long journey to experience the UK firsthand.

Each chapter of the book has become my personal travel guide. From visiting historic landmarks to exploring art and traditions, I’m actively engaging with the British culture.

The latest chapter focuses in the customes and traditions of British nations. To truly understand them, I’ve planned an immersive experiences by cooking a Sunday Roast and visting Clifton Nurseries.

By experiencing these firsth and, I’m not just learning these customs; I’m living them.

As I continue my journey through the “Life in the UK” handbook, I’m realizing that this isn’t just about passing a test. It’s about becoming a part of the British community, understanding its traditions, and appreciating its unique heritage.

By the time I sit for the Life in the UK test, I’ll have more than knowledge; I’ll have a deep-rooted connection to this country. And that, I believe, is the true essence of living in the UK.
