About GregW:

I didn't travel much as a kid, and really didn't get into travelling until I was in my late 20s, when I got a job travelling all over North America. That just wanted to make me see more of the world. So that's what I am trying to do now!

I moved to London, England in June of 2008 to test if the "live and work abroad and gain lots of cool experience" myth is true or not. Results still pending.

 Hobbies:

Travel (obviously), sampling beers of the world

Favourite places:

Denver, CO for teaching me that some place other than Toronto could feel like home, Punta Arenas, Chile for teaching me the joy that accompanies that complete and total freedom of being thousands of miles from home without any sort of schedule and Paris, for inspiring me to pack up and move across the ocean.

...But I haven't seen everywhere yet.

How to Exchange a Canadian Drivers License for UK License

Posted by GregW | 22nd November 2009

If you are planning on moving to the UK from Canada for more than a year, and are planning on driving a car, then you will need to exchange your Canadian license (issued by your home province) for a UK one. I’m going through the process of accomplishing that now, and have found that information I find on the process is either confusing or incomplete. With this blog entry, I hope to detail what I have found out about the process, so others may benefit in the future.

That being said, I am sure others can add to the information in the blog. If you have some information to provide, or a correction, please leave it in the comments. I’ll update the blog accordingly.

Where am I in the process? I now have my UK drivers license. I’m not satisfied just stopping there, though. I want a license that allows me to drive manual transmission cars as well, so I am preparing to take a driving test. I will keep this blog updated
