It’s amazing how where in the world you are, a group of black women just feels like home

Wtf does that mean
@@skylerrash9154 It’s not rocket science. People will always feel comfort around people who are like them whether it be home town, nationality, race, gender, etc

my partner and i met here in the US (im from miami and he’s from london) and i similarly was like “i’m done with dating apps. don’t with these guys.” but went on one last date bc it was already scheduled and met him ♡ now we’ll be moving into our first apartment together in london this september!
Yesss I love it!
As someone strongly considering leaving the US for London, I loved this!!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I've been an expat in several countries, and find the closest friendships are always with other expats not necessarily from my home country, it's generally that these people have the same outlook and quest for new experiences. 4 Years in Switzerland, 6 years in France and 8 years in Ghana.
So true!!
Great video! I was having a bad day until I watched this video. Jessica from Chicago really cracks and had me laughed so hard when she called for someone to help her with air conditioning. I lived in England for several years, and when I once again heard someone say to Jessica on the phone: HI YA, I almost couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for making me laugh.
Hahah I think you’re referring to Brittany but that really was a great story!! 😆
Very good video. As an American in London for 20 years, most of my answers were different than all of yours. Looking forward to part two. :-)
Thanks so much for watching Christina!!
Paige, our social butterfly, and friends! 😊 We need a Part 2!
Coming on Sunday!! ☺️🫶🏼
That’s what I like about you Paige, you always know how to meet people. I know you’re future adventures are going to be awesome, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next. London will surely miss you but we are so excited to have you back!🇺🇸

I loved this video. I keep thinking about moving to Paris someday. Hearing from expats like yourselves is so helpful.
Thank you for watching! You should do it 😊
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I really enjoyed listening to everyone's answers. I'm a black Brit, not living in London. Now I must catch up and watch all of your other videos😊

Great conversation Ladies!!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for sharing gives me insight on living there
Thank you for watching!! 😊
Great video! It's so wonderful to see all of the beautiful ladies coming together. That is so cool to see the lovely community that you've created in London. I especially would love to hear more about the dating scene. I hope that Black British men are dating Black women.
Thanks so much for watching! Part 2 coming on Sunday 😊
Not the 8 month talking stage 😭😭
😆😆😆
That part had me rolling 😅. I love this video.
8 Months is a good man. Lol
Hi Paige, I have been following you since Covid and actually have my mom following you. We love you but I'm sad that your London adventure is coming to an end. With that being said, so any of your fabulous friends have CZcams channels? I'd love to continue hearing about their adventures but will still be tuning into your channel. You have been wonderful sharing your stories and life experiences. I have been to London several times and enjoy it. France is my main jam but London is very close. Good luck to you and I look forward to your USA adventures. Cheers
Thank you so much for tuning in!! I believe Olamide will be starting a new channel but they are mainly on Instagram and TikTok. You can find links to their social media accounts in the description box 😊
@@PaigeMariah Thank you. I will be sure to get on Instagram and continue the journey with you and your crew.
CANT WAIT
I really enjoyed this London is on my list to visit soon definitely gonna visit during spring maybe can't go without A/C that can be true for many countries in Europe the no A/C so can definitely be unpleasant for us Americans who love running our A/C the minute its in the 70s
I’m sure there’s AC in the hotels if you’re just visiting 😆
@@PaigeMariah Yes good point definitely try hotel
How did you move to London ???? Tippsssss I need them now 😂
I wanna take a solo trip but I’ve been scared… im like an outgoing loner lmao but I might just go ahead and do it do you recommend places to visit?
Can you make a video about how can you move to london via study? I want to pursue a masters in london but worried about funding and receiving money
Hello I love your channel and have been following you for a while now. Thank you for this one too because I needed more information about London. I would like to go to college there but I feel like I’m too old. I’m 43 will they except me there at this age? Also if possible can you tell me what site I need to go on to apply to the university there? Thank you kindly in advance ❤
Hi there!! I don’t think it’s ever too late! I had woken in their 40s in my master’s cohort. As far as applying, check out ucas.com
Hope you all find the happiness your looking for. Good luck and enjoy!!
Thanks so much!!
Interesting, thanks.
Thanks for watching!!
So what about London Research Salaries?
Oh gosh. The name Olamide is African. It rings a bell. Yeah, Koffi Olomide, a Congolese Rhumba musician! Anyways always love to see you Paige and your happy vibez...Will miss your London vlogs soo much. I'll still follow you everywhere you go, tho. Much love from Kenya.
Thank you Paul!!
Hot summers are not a thing? Lol
The weather in England is very random; but we have had many unbearable summers where you will need need air conditioning
I’m buying a ac unit soon just in case we get one of those crazy hot summers this year
Great video! How do you apply for jobs in the UK while living in the US? I would prefer to get a job first before moving.
You would just have to search online and apply I assume! It’s definitely more difficult to secure a job here when you’re outside of the UK though
@@PaigeMariah ok I appreciate the response
Hey! You can’t complain about the cold weather then complain at no A/C ! 🤣🤣
LOL
Yes we can because we deserve to be comfortable in whatever season it is.😁🇺🇸
I would love to visit the UK, but would love to meet with others instead of being solo.
What about health insurance while you studied in school? How was that covered? Was it expensive because you were a foreigner or was it the same as what the British people receive?
That will be covered in part 2 which will be uploaded on Sunday! 😊
@@PaigeMariah ok. Thanks
Interesting video 😮😅
Thanks for watching!!
Not sure if I missed this part but how did you all find each other?
Just mutual friend introductions for most of us or through social media!
@@PaigeMariah 👏. That's part of what's so amazing about living abroad, it seems like expats are more open to new friendships and often you make long-lasting quality ones with people who have similar interests. Love that!
Paige just very interesting but lady in the middle with shaved head she was going to delete her dating apps before finally finding someone but is he American or English Just curious 👀?
English
❤❤
I would love to have been on that couch with all you beautiful ladies.😊
Why don't you shoot a vlogg in manny or preston or bham apart from London?!
I have vlogs from 2 out of the 3 places you named, I guess you didn’t look before commenting? lol
I couldn't see it l........😅😂
Don't forget paige they is other cities in England than London if people just visit London they will not see the rest of uk.
Hi Clifford, I’m sure people know that 😅 this video is focused on our experience living in London specifically
your videos need a viral push, you have been viral before
🙌🏼🙌🏼
I feel like that is a very female perspective of being turned off because a foreigner wanted to date you for being an American. I feel like most dudes would not be turned off because a girl wanted to date them because they are American.
It’s a “foreign thing”. American men only focus on your Britishness when you meet them.
All Americans complain about the lack of AC lol…..I live in a pretty high end apartment which unusually for the U.K. does have AC. Guess what, in 4 years I’ve lived here I’ve never used it, probably no longer works. Might change in the future, but I really don’t think the weather is that hot here that we need it….plus that thing sucks power like crazy.
couldnt here a word too much cackling
Lol
Cant here a word they are saying
What jobs are available for americans there?
Any job you apply for I guess? lol
Go outside of multicultural London which is another city in itself leave London and see real racism in other UK cities and towns.
I cant make out if sound is really bad or i cant understand the accents they are so strong. I cannot make anything out at all.🥺 Un watchable.
Really??
