- Second Life for Toronto's Trash 2 days ago Crowdsourcing’s one of those promising concepts that’s often put to fairly uninspiring uses, whether it’s adding social media sparkle to lacklustre government policies, or advertising tortilla chips. But last week I wrote about a crowdsourcing site with a social purpose that seems...

I love this blog! I started reading it before moving over to Toronto and have followed it since! It's so refreshing to find an expat blog that isn't just full of people moaning about all the frustrations associated with moving. I've already found my favourite chocolate hob nobs thanks to Torontonewbie and I can't wait for next year's Zombie Walk!

A friend of mine put me onto this blog when I told her I was thinking of moving to Vancouver or Toronto from London. She thought I'd appreciate the writings of someone who had already done it and who could draw a little picture for me of what I might expect from the experience. Well the blog certainly does that, but I have also fallen for Charlotte! She has a really sweet, humble, funny way of writing which means I often find myself grinning ear to ear at my computer screen! Lovely, lovely blog :D

A breath of fresh air has arrived in Toronto! Your blog is a joy to read and I just love your enthusiastic take on your new home. Glad you left the cynicism back in Blighty and packed instead your energy, intelligence and optimism. They shine through every page. Will be passing on your blog details to other expats here.

I am a huge fan of the Toronto newbie blog! It is one of the best blogs I have come across. When I found out I was moving to Toronto with work I started trying to find out about the area - fun things to do etc. This was the best online source I found. Not only is it informative but it is written in a really readable and witty way too. Thank you Toronto newbie for your excellent and informative blog. :-) Keep up the good work.
