Welcome to the second round of the MyCurrencyTransfer.com Expat Star Awards <\/a>in which we\u2019re honouring the Top 10 Websites for British Expats!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners, which are britishexpats.com, telegraph.co.uk and britishcornershop.co.uk, and, of course, to our seven finalists.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to our top ten listed below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gold<\/a><\/p>\n

BritishExpats.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @britishexpat<\/p>\n

Top of our chart is britishexpats.com \u2013 an expat community site which ticks all the boxes and, as such, is our overall Gold winner in this category. It features a wealth of information relating to expat life, covering news, features, exchange rates, classifieds, photos and more. Our favourite elements, however, are its Members\u2019 Blogs and the Discussion Forum, on which you\u2019ll find all manner of questions posed by people looking for some authorative advice from like-minded travellers. Just a few of the favourites we picked out include \u2018Can you get Cutters Choice tobacco in Portugal?\u2019, \u2018Is it worth bringing a credit history across?\u2019 and \u2018Is 43 too old to emigrate to Canada?\u2019 Now where else could you get first class answers to such specific questions? Hats off to the team \u2013 keep up the good work!<\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a><\/p>\n

Telegraph Expat<\/a>\u00a0@telegraphexpat<\/p>\n

At number two, our Silver winner is the brilliant expat section of The Telegraph online. With so many seasoned expats penning great features for the site, this website has become one of the most visited resources for fun, informative opinion pieces and solid advice when for setting up home overseas. We regularly stop by to catch up with all the latest expat news and gossip \u2013 and we\u2019re not even relocating! That\u2019s testament, we think, to the quality of editorial and genuinely useful content.<\/p>\n

\"Bronze<\/a><\/p>\n

British Corner Shop<\/a>\u00a0– found tweeting @britishfoodbcs<\/p>\n

Our third winner in this category is britishcornershop.co.uk, which walks away with our Bronze accolade \u2013 thanks to its brilliant online service delivering British food shopping to expats all over the world. Its innovative food provision means that, wherever you are in the world, you can always get your favourite brands and products \u2013 whether it\u2019s McVities chocolate biscuits, Branston pickle or Walkers crisps. If you live or are moving abroad, make sure you bookmark this site!<\/p>\n

\"Finalist<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weather2Travel.com<\/a>\u00a0– found tweeting @weather2travel<\/p>\n

Our first finalist is our favourite for finding out where is hot and when. More than 4,000 hand-picked destinations are featured on this site, which gives the lowdown on monthly climes, weather forecasts and reports \u2013 ideal for would-be expats to check out their preferred country of relocation in advance. There\u2019s no point in escaping the British weather to head for somewhere with even fewer days of sunshine after all!<\/p>\n

BritsAbroad.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Finalist britsabroad.com is, in a nutshell, a social forum for expats around the world. It\u2019s a simple way to share news, gossip and chat wherever you happen to be on the globe. Forums are split by country and there are separate sharing categories \u2013 making it really easy and a pleasure to use. What\u2019s more, there\u2019s even a section for Media Requests which means, if you run your own business abroad, you might have the opportunity to take advantage of some free PR.<\/p>\n

Pomsinoz.com<\/a> @pomsinoz<\/p>\n

We love the name probably just as much as we love the features of this site! What could better sum up a forum for British expats living in Australia than \u2018Poms in Oz\u2019? It\u2019s also where you\u2019ll find everything pertaining to a relocation Down Under, such as migrations issues, transport and shipping, and much more besides. There\u2019s even a Living & Lifestyle section in which you\u2019ll find current vacancies and Want ads.<\/p>\n

MyExpatShop.com<\/a><\/p>\n

myexpatshop.com does exactly what it says on the tin \u2013 otherwise translated as \u2018A taste of home delivered to your home in Switzerland\u2019. Whatever British expats living the Swiss lifestyle are missing from back home, they\u2019re sure to find it here. So if you\u2019re living in Switzerland but have a hankering for Bisto gravy granules, British sausages and Marmite, look no further than this brilliant website which even offers gift wrapping and other international foods.<\/p>\n

Expat.Meetup<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @meetup<\/p>\n

This site is a great way to find or set up social meet-ups for every purpose or shared interest you can imagine \u2013 in many parts of the world, from Edinburgh to San Francisco. Of course, it\u2019s a fantastic way to meet friends, join groups, take up new past times and find out about events in your area \u2013 something which can otherwise be difficult to do if you don\u2019t have the know-how in a new country or city. It\u2019s safe to say we\u2019re seriously impressed!<\/p>\n

BigAppleBrits.com<\/a>\u00a0found tweeting @bigapplebrits<\/p>\n

bigapplebrits.com is New York City\u2019s foremost events and social networking community for British Expats living in the area. In such a big city, no doubt it\u2019s a welcome resource for many. Blog posts cover a wide range of topics, from pensions transfers and upcoming seminars to how and where to watch 6 Nations Rugby matches with fellow Brits in the Big Apple and even where to order your traditional Christmas cake from. There\u2019s even a complete Events Calendar to boot!<\/p>\n

BritishExpat.com<\/a><\/p>\n

For events, online shopping guides, flights, tickets, hotel reviews, finance and even quick-fire quizzes, britishexpat.com is a nifty little site. Our final finalist has a whole host of surprises in store for British expats looking to browse their options. It, too, has an international events calendar and some really insightful articles worth sharing.<\/p>\n
