Cardiff is a great place to visit and an even better place to live. With its fantastic community spirit and vibrant atmosphere, Cardiff was voted as the best city in the UK for quality of life.

Cardiff has been projected as the UK’s fastest growing city, with a large growth in the working age and strength in economy. Local businesses are currently booming, with an increased growth within the Digital, IT Finance and Construction sectors, making it the ideal time for a recruiter to relocate to Cardiff.

With these low costs of living and higher than average levels of disposable income, Cardiff residents can reap the clear financial benefits and truly enjoy all the city has to offer.

And let’s not forget to mention the regular circus, musicals and theatres held at St. David’s Hall, or the famous artists that visit the Motorpoint Arena & Principality Stadium, such as The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Spice Girls, Pink, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran!  

 It’s a food paradise

Cardiff is a foodie hotspot; you are guaranteed to find any cuisine, anywhere you go. In Canton alone, you’ll find Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Lebanese, Turkish, Indian, Spanish, Italian and French! So, whether you fancy a bit of winning and dinning in a posh gourmet restaurant or a bag of chips and battered sausage from the famous Chippy Lane, you’ll never go hungry in Cardiff!

Sports

With Cardiff being home to the Principality Stadium, there’s regular sporting events going on. From the Six Nations, Rugby World Cup, FA Cup, Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain to other events like Boxing, Monster Jam and concerts!

The Welsh have a great passion for sports! Every match day, there’s no doubt that everyone in Cardiff will be queuing to get into the Principality Stadium or standing in front of the big screen in one of their many Pubs. Nothing puts the Welsh in more of a celebratory mood than a good match and a cold pint of beer.

Trust me, they’ll have you wearing a daffodil hat and singing the Welsh Anthem in no time!

Full of greenery

Cardiff City is centered around the historic Cardiff Castle grounds and Bute park, meaning there’s no shortage of green spaces to enjoy. All year round, Bute Park attracts dog walkers and joggers and in the summer it’s the perfect place for a picnic with loved ones. Roath Park is another popular spot for the same reasons, with the addition of a large boating lake surrounded by ducks and swans and a children’s park.

With the Coast to the South and Brecon Beacons to the North, there are some astounding areas of natural beauty just a short drive away from the city. Including, Pen-Y-Fan and Dan-Yr-Ogof Caves which are ideal destinations for the explorers and hikers amongst us!

Thinking about relocating to Singapore? Well, think no more…

After reading this, you’ll wish you were there!

There are several factors that make Singapore the ideal location, such as, access to great facilities, low crime rates, good quality education, excellent transportation, delicious food, and the presence of a large expat community.

Let’s elaborate..

Singapore is a rainforest inside a city – when people think of Singapore, they think of a city, a generic concrete jungle, but that’s not the case. Only in Singapore, would you see skyscrapers, mixed with various types of trees you’d only expect to see in a rainforest. To top that off, they have tropical plants dotted all over the city!

Singapore made a conscious effort to ensure precious pockets of rainforests remained, which you can see through the Singapore Botanical Gardens, Gardens by the Bay or the various hiking trails such as MacRitchie and Henderson Wave. More than that, Singapore has the largest indoor waterfall, located in their own Changi airport, which has been voted the world’s best airport for 7 consecutive years!  

Singapore is bursting to the seams with impressive attractions and exciting activities – the challenge you will have, is not finding something to do. Whether you are visiting Singapore alone, with your loved one or family, there’s always things to see. Beautiful architecture such as Marina Bay Sands and the Esplanade, or white sandy beaches at Sentosa, or for those seeking a thrill, visit Universal Studios to experience the exhilarating rides.

Oh, and not to forget those with children, Singapore is home to an amazing sea aquarium and one of the world’s best zoos. However, if you do manage to get a babysitter, then Boat Quay or Clarke Quay is the place to go!

  Singapore allows you to treat Asia as your back garden – living here means that there are countless of adventures only a short ferry or plane ride away! Some of the most popular destinations include Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Vietnam and Cambodia. But you could also visit Japan, Hong Kong, Philippines and even Australia or New Zealand.

With many of these areas being so close, you wouldn’t even have to take time off work. A long weekend from Friday night to Sunday night would suffice. However, if do plan on staying longer, you can utilise Singapore’s 11 bank holidays. Making it very easy for you to tick all these wonderful places off your bucket list!

  Singapore will expose you to a variety of cultures and religious celebrations – despite Singapore’s small size, the customs and cultures there are unique. They are a mixture of various ethnic influences such as Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Western. The diversity of culture is reflected in the many languages that are spoken there, including English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil.

Also, because there are so many racial and ethnic groups, you’ll experience many different festivals, religious services and traditions. To give some examples: Chinese New Year, which is celebrated island wide. Hari Raya Puasa, where the Muslim community celebrates the end of Ramadan and Diwali/Deepavali, the festival of lights, which is significant in Indian culture. Singaporeans also celebrate Christian days such as Easter and Christmas too.

 Singapore makes it easy for first timers – the expat community in Singapore is excellent, so you will never feel out of place, no matter where you’re from! The best way to infiltrate the expat community is to join one of the many expat groups on Facebook. You’ll be surprised how many like-minded individuals you’ll meet.
