| Comment | First of all, welcome to Glasgow. I’ve seen your artwork (and it’s very good) but please bare in mind, it’s incredibly difficult here to earn a steady and regular income as an artist. Have you considered doing something else and doing your art on the side? There’s plenty of restaurant/hospitality work going about as well as cleaning jobs etc. It’s great for flexible hours and a more reliable income. Also loads of other benefits like meeting various members of the community and improving English (Glaswegian accents can be a bit difficult at first). If you’re certain you want a host family, I would go through the official channels you’ve been provided with instead of looking online/on Reddit, especially since you have a kid. This way you know the hosts have been vetted and are safe. Alternatively if you can get reliable work, the housing market has calmed down a lot, there’s plenty of private rented properties in my area now that having been on the market for weeks. I imagine it’s much the same across Glasgow. Best of luck to you! |
