The main thing that made me choose Scotland was number one, the safety here because Aberdeen is one of the safest cities in Scotland and in the UK in general. That's an important thing for me since back home was one of the safest places and my parents didn't want to put me in a place that's really difficult to live in. The quality of life here is really good because of the weather and it's on the sea, which I'm used to because back home I was living near the sea too."
