I wish I'd found InterNations sooner: It would have made my first few month as an expat in London much less overwhelming.
Expats Living in Bolton
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates with over a million members worldwide. They can use the online forums as platforms to connect and interact with other expatriates in Bolton and around the globe. Already established expats have been through the experience and are full of useful hints and tips. Additionally, the Expat Magazine section of the site is brimming with essential information to help each new expatriate with their move and will settle many of the worries that people have. Bolton is a cosmopolitan town in the heart of North West England and, ten miles outside the city of Manchester, it is still within the city boundaries. Formerly a mill town, the textile heritage is evident in the shopping centers and old town streets filled with vibrant shops and cafes. Two of Bolton’s most famous sons are the comedian, Peter Kay and Amir Khan, the boxer; Bolton has a strong sporting heritage. The football team, Bolton Wanderers, play their home games at the famous Reebok Stadium and many other sporting national and international events are held there. Bolton is furthermore steeped in English history and has a strong cultural and social scene. It boasts museums and art galleries, the Octagon theatre, and when the sun goes down over the converted mills, Bolton’s nightlife is lively with bars and clubs.

For me, the InterNations events are the best part. I attend almost every get-together and always get to know lots of friendly fellow expats.
