I arrived at the end of 2016 with the idea of staying for two years, but as it often happens in life, the plan changed. I ended up staying much longer than I had originally planned.
The main reason for moving was work-related. I had been offered a job by a company three years prior, but at the time, I had turned it down. They reached out again, and within 7 days, I was asked to move to London and start the job. I extended that by 12 days, and that’s how it all began.
When I first moved, I wasn’t planning to stay forever. It was supposed to be a fresh start for two years, but London gradually stole my heart. I started calling it my "romantic city" and realised it was my home. My ideal lifestyle is still to spend 6 months here and 6 months somewhere sunny, but I’ve come to love the city despite the tough weather.
My first job in the UK was in marketing with one of the biggest cybersecurity vendors, a continuation of my career in that field. It felt like a natural progression, though it was still a big leap for me, adjusting to a new culture and market.
Over time, I transitioned into freelancing, which allowed me the flexibility to start my own company, Kamreno. I’ve had the opportunity to work on amazing projects with virtual teams and have taken on roles outside of marketing, such as handling financial, legal, HR, and IT aspects. It’s been a thrilling, fast-paced journey, and I’ve learned to manage not just marketing but the entire operation of a business.
While I haven’t pursued formal qualifications in the UK, I have always been keen on learning. I dive into new technologies and AI, as I believe that continuous learning is the key to staying competitive in my field.
I’m the founder of Kamreno, a full-service marketing communications agency. My company specialises in design, events, and fractional marketing support. I also focus on educational initiatives for children, promoting empathy and critical thinking, which I’m deeply passionate about
I already own a business in the UK, Kamreno. The decision to start my own company came from the freedom it would give me to pursue projects that aligned with my passions. Running a business has been a thrilling experience, as I get to wear so many hats and take on different roles.
I love the international atmosphere and the endless opportunities to grow professionally. The tech and digital landscape in the UK is also something that excites me as a tech person. And of course, the entertainment and social scene are hard to beat.
The UK job market can be competitive, but don’t be discouraged if you face challenges at first. Network as much as possible and don’t be afraid to push through barriers. And remember, your experiences from other countries can be just as valuable as local experience.
I’ve found networking groups, online platforms like LinkedIn, and various business organisations to be incredibly helpful in growing my career and making connections.
The most rewarding part has been the opportunity to pursue my dreams and achieve the level of freedom I had always longed for. Starting my business and being able to shape my future has been incredibly fulfilling
Living here has made me more adaptable and open to change. It has deepened my appreciation for the value of empathy and the importance of building strong, supportive relationships.
Yes, finding accommodation was a big challenge. The amount of paperwork required made it feel overwhelming. Coming from Spain and Denmark, where things are much more straightforward, it was a bit of a shock.
There was a period where everything felt like it was falling apart, both personally and professionally. It was an incredibly challenging time, but I managed to push through by focusing on what I could control and reminding myself of the positives in my life.
I stayed connected with my family and friends back home, which was a big support. I also reminded myself that as long as my family and I were healthy, everything could be fixed. Focusing on what I could influence helped me overcome homesickness.
