Hello everyone. I'm an Spanish guy living in Venezuela. I'm going to travel through Europe next year (since January or February) for 5 moths.

I would like to expend much of my time en England, to improve my English. So if you know some very cheap academy, or you know some tips about where to go, or where to stay, I would appreciate it.

I would love to stay a few days with some family or some young people to practice, to learn about your culture and just hang out (I could help cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, etc)

So any tips! that help me to discover the most amazing places and culture activities would be very valuable. Also that help me to make my trip cheaper =)

IF YOU ARE COMING TO VENEZUELA, I COULD HELP YOU TOO.

Hi Manuel!

I strongly recommand you a very nice place where I lived nearly 6 months last year: Bournemouth. It's a small town in the Dorset but quite lively, charming and not so expensive. I lived there at first in a hostfamily and afterwards in a flat with other students.
Check on Google to see some pics of Bmouth and you'll see. There is everything there: the sea, shops, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, place to work, special schools to learn English... Morevover, it's quite close to London, Southampton, Brighton and also Stonehenge ;)

About the school, I was at Westbourne Academy (a good deal with quality and fees). For further information, don't hesitate to ask me in private, i'll reply to you with pleasure :)

Hope I could help you with all this.
xx

Thanks a lot Charlotte! I will add that town to my destinations!! I don't wanna spend too much time in London because is too expensive and international, so you advice is perfect!

If you have any about other places, experiences, transport, cost of traveling etc It would be nice, also if some time you come to south America I can help you =)
