- I have lived in both the UK and the US. After living in the US for a little while here are just 5 of the positives I have found. I have made another video talking about some of the cons and differences so check that one out after this one :)
HAVE AN AMAZING DAY OR NIGHT !!!
It's nice to get a different perspective on the U.S from someone not born here. We tend to take a lot of our lifestyle for granted. You seem like a genuinely nice person and I'm enjoying your videos very much. Keep posting!
Welcome to the States.
I lived in Chester one summer and itcwas mostly warm and sunny. Our neighbor said it was the nicest summer she could remember in her 50 years of life in England.
In London, people are exceedingly friendly to me when they hear my American accent.
U god damn right they are they better be 😂
When was the last time you were there?
I am from California, never made it to England, but I went to France, Germany and the Netherlands. The French were by far the rudest people to me because I could not speak their language and they had the dirtiest cities. I had no idea that is what would happen to me or what I would see but it is a fact.
@@digitaldirt7773 I was first there when Lance Armstrong "won" his last TDF and 3 times since. You are right. In Paris, they suck. I laugh at these expats in France saying it's our fault as tourists. Only the French would come up with an "American menu in English" and gouge Americans with higher prices. It's not a myth. But the farther out you go towards Normandie as example, the French become better. In Paris, they are insufferable.
I'm glad you're enjoying our country! Welcome! I swear British media and youtubers make England seem like the dreariest most miserable place on Earth haha. A lot of us Americans are honestly pretty worn down and tired these days, so to hear from foreigners we're still a friendly/positive place is pretty nice, really.
I'm English, i love England. I love the weather. I have access to any food i like. Have a good job. I have a good home, great family and i find most people in England are nice to talk to and personally i wouldn't want to live in any other country. That doesn't mean i don't like travelling and love other countries too. I've been to America before (Florida) some people may say you shouldn't base your opinion on America just from going to Florida lol
I find when you get a youtubers perspective in these videos and this goes for an American moving to Britain too, they have moved to that country for a reason or to move out of that country for a reason. So this girl probably had some bad experiences in England so she's overly negative about England. i've seen Americans moving to England and bashing America but again i feel like they probably just had some bad experiences in America so they love England.
Love our neighbours across the pond though, she made a good choice!
@@hithere3035Haha I only joke, I know England isn't that bad of a place to live. I look at your mild weather and think a bit of rain is probably a pretty good price to pay for that, really.
@@hithere3035 I didn't really take her to be bashing England at all, and I have heard it said quite a few times from people from the UK and elsewhere how they were surprised by how nice everyone was in the US. First time I heard that I think it was Simon Cowell actually, but I've heard it quite a bit since then over the years. I just think it's a cultural difference. I've never been over there, so I can't gauge it personally, just what I've heard.
I have seen those really downbeat videos from UK youtubers often focusing on a specific town and the miserable condition of the people living in tents and run down houses, drugs and the lack of jobs or opportunity. Decrying the current situation and how it became that way. They often do a top 10 most miserable places to live in the UK. I guess people are more drawn to misery than anything pleasant, don't see many nice place to live in the UK videos.
@@hithere3035 So long I did not read, try to be concise. Sure England and and the USA have their place. The US is by far more diverse than the UK in any aspect, exclude the Midwest US and Some Southern States.
Glad you're here!
Also, here in Florida at times it can be raining and be totally bright and sunny at the same time. It's called a sunshower.
I’m in Texas. Our problem is too much sun. 🌞
Except in April 🌧️
Haven't even watched the video yet I like to look over responses first. I am from Southern California, I would hate living anywhere where there is no sun. England, Seattle, St Petersburg Russia went with out sun for a year. How do you do that? People really need sun to touch their skin for health reasons. That is why Irish are so pale, their skin turned thin and white to bring in nutrients. It is a fact look it up. Unfortunately I am mostly Irish English German so I have that thin skin and get sun burnt very easily, so I have to watch and protect myself.
@@digitaldirt7773 precisely as you said, the human body adapts. lighter skin soaks up much more vitamin d than dark skin but it also absorbs more uv, dark skin blocks more uv but absorbs much less vitamin D there's always a pro and a con.
Hi from Florida 🙋♂😂😂😂
@@digitaldirt7773 I can imagine the opposite being crazy too though. Imagine living in Juneau, Alaska or even more north and the sun not setting for like 85 days or some crazy shit. I would think that would start to have a psychological effect on you too.
Greetings from CT (good ole New England!) Great comparisons & thanks for the positives you mentioned about the US. (Nice to hear these days). Wishing you much success with your channel! Cheers!
Great video, nice to hear your thoughts! As an American, I agree with almost all of them!
Welcome to the USA. I hope you continue to have a great experience. Good luck
It was really cool to hear your thoughts! Thank you for sharing, and welcome!
love the accent, could listen to you talk all day. 'emphasis' was funny.
It being cloudy and rainy a lot it seems to come out in George Harrison’s “Here Comes the Sun.” if it’s been a long cold lonely winter in Liverpool, no wonder why he would be ecstatic to see the sun.
Welcome to America, 🎉
Agree -about the gloomy, damp, and non-sunny UK weather for the majority of the time.
Welcome to the US. Don't know where you moved to but here in Pennsylvania we get all 4 seasons and near Philadelphia winters have been mild. Cost of living can be high compared to some eastern European countries. Enjoy your time here!
Thing is EU housing costs are also v expensive for Gen Z cuz the housing price is relative to their economy and so many Gen Z there are facing the same fucked economy the US is facing
Hi, I'm from Grand Rapids, Minnesota. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself in our country. You are very welcome, God bless and take care peace ✌️.
What a bright, cheery young lady. Good to have you here in the U.S.. PLEASE try to keep the wonderful British accent. We love it over here. I'm a sculptor in California, wishing you a wonderful life.
WELCOME to the States 🇺🇲
Welcome to the States!
YOU ARE TRULY GORGEOUS!!! WELCOME TO THE STATES!!!!😁🌹💐🐞
I appreciate that you appreciate the American way of life. Live the dream.
Welcome to the US! I’m very pleased that you’re experiencing our friendly culture. I have traveled many places around the world (73 countries so far, heading back to France 🇫🇷 next week) and it’s true: strangers in the US are absolutely friendlier than most places. My observations are that the UK is actually one of the more friendly places (along with Ireland, Central European countries like Poland, and Japan and Thailand in Asia). I hope you continue to have a great experience here!
Always interesting to hear an outsider's opinions. If you lived in the north during the winter, you probably wouldn't love the weather - I don't know where you are. And in Florida or Texas or Arizona, it gets brutally hot in the summer, but I don't doubt that in many places the weather is better than in the UK.
there is too many people from England that are very rude and arrogant and say bad things about my beloved country , and even made fun of americans. But Your one of the nice one and i want you to feel very welcome while your hear because you have a kind disposition.
Love that Brit accent...
It rains a lot in New England so it's aptly named. It also rains quite a bit in my neck of the woods (New York).
You're very pretty and seem very friendly & outgoing... I hope you're loving your time here and get to stay a long time, or as your new home!
Glad you’re enjoying it here. Blessings and a big huge welcome
Emphasis - Em Fuh Sis 👍 Good video, ma'am. Keep going
antithesis(pronounced an-TITH-uh-sis): direct contrast; opposition.
Free refills! You failed to mention free refills!
I have lived in North East England for all 31 years and it rains a lot yes but there are times where it doesn't rain for a very long time mostly in the summer such as this year where it went about 2 months without rain and very hot cloudless sunny days.
Hello 👋 & Welcome to the USA 🇺🇸 from my state called the Sunshine ☀ State of Florida where we have a Missive outdoor culture, Yet that should always have knowledgeable people around to know whats safe vs Dangerous like our beaches while beautiful RIP tides can kill , Man - O - Wars have a brutal sting that last for days !!! Still diving & Snorkeling is a Fantastic experience !!! While the center of the state has it's Dangers as well Heat stroke. Pigmy Rattlesnakes , Fla. Panthers & Blaxk bears & Brutal hogs and the most annoying the Mosquitos that can drive you slap happy 😂😂😂 but you have swap buggies , mountain bikes , hiking
Air boats , Giant Mudd courses or beautiful Cold & Clear springs . Yet you need to know which ones are safe because of our Fla. Gators !!!! There are Many fun attractions Universal studios, Medieval Times, Music 🎶 Event, Sport Teams , Flea Markets & Endless Shopping & Eating Establishments !!!!! No matter what state have a Guide who knows the surrounding & Weather knowledge from 🌪 Tornados to Hurricanes🌀
From. Flash Flooding to extreme Temperatures " Safty first " The Like button 🔳 has been Illuminated 😊
The US, being so large, you can find the weather that makes you happy and never leave the country!
Welcome to the states. Hope you enjoy it and have many blessings. Curious what state or at least region of the country you've moved to
Also rock climbing..in places like Alabama…or climbing the wall..about 40 feet up..
You definetley got that Eddie Hall accent, it is nice and also welcome to the New World.
Please say what state in the US you are living in. There is so much variety in weather/culture etc it would be interesting to know what state you are basing your perceptions/observations on. You can definitely find rainy, dismal weather for about 9 months of the year in the Pacific NW. Where I live in KS it is sunny most of the time but summers tend to be 90-100° usually and that puts a damper on many people spending a lot of time outdoors.
Usa w raised
I visited London once in June. .My visit was mostly sunny but the wind came up and I didn't think I would need a jacket so I did not pack one. I found the English friendly.
I must have visited that other England. I've made 3 trips for a total of 4 weeks, almost all days were good weather. We got rain in July in Scotland. In February, we got snow in London and Oxford one night into the next day (first time in 7 years we were told).
The US has different climates. Its not sunny everywhere.
Is the word "emphasis" not used in the UK? 🤔 You pronounced it correctly.
No it's a normal word, I think she just had one of those brain-went-blank moments. Similar to when you write a word a few times and you're suddenly convinced you're spelling it wrong. (I think this is called jamais vu, the opposite of deja vu).
We in the USA have Constitutional Rights. Such as our 1st Amendment to "Freedom of Speech." We can not be bothered by the police for offending anyone for shit we post online, in person, or wherever. You don't have the right not to be offended! You can not be arrested for saying offensive shit about anyone's culture or race.
The extremes will probably dull your view of the weather. I didn't care for the weather in Northumberland when there. In the south around London it is okay. But I would have to agree with you for the most part. Wait for the extremes though. If you have only been here for a month or two, wait to see what allergies develop if any. We do have some terrible allergens also that you haven't been exposed to.
You just crossed the pond.
What an exciting adventure. I hope you can learn some history along the way. I suggest a video titled ,
The American Revolution, Bloody struggle for Freedom. Also a tele series titled,
American Experience
Just saw some of your beach videos. I'm assuming you're in California based on the look of the landscape around the beach areas. Is that right?
Interesting perspective. Where are you in the States? I'm just curious because depending on where you are I do think you get different flavors of cultural diversity. For example, I was born and raised in Florida. Still here, and Florida has been one of the most diverse States traditionally, but in particular it's Latin communities. There's great Latin food all over the State, but particularly I would say it started in Tampa, my home town, probably before much of the rest of the state, but now it's everywhere. In the 20 years since I moved away from Tampa, it's become home to one of the largest Arabic populations in the US, so there's tons of great Middle Eastern food spots and stuff. From what I've heard Miami is very international now, with many European cultures having much larger representation than in years past when it was probably 90% Cuban. . I lived there for about a year, and you literally can't communicate in places like grocery stores, and various shops in English, because nobody, from the stockers to the managers speaks it. The only time I've lived outside of Florida, I was in St. Louis, Missouri for 4 years, and there the largest ethnic group were Bosnians. Many settled there when they fled the Bosnian War, and it became the predominant ethnic group in the city. Great city btw. Anyway, just interested to know exactly where you're at and what cultures your encountering there.
First time I’ve heard someone claim that England isn’t diverse enough. Get the feeling this young girl has stayed and sulked in her room for the past 4 years.
What I heard is that ppl are more honest in England. I'm not sure I was expecting that at this stage...
Welcome to the USA ❤
I lived in England for 3 and a half years. I loved the weather. Way better than USA's weather, which is largely brutal and oppressive.
No such thing as “USA weather” as it’s a large country, and so it depends on where you live. I’m surprised you don’t know that.
Maybe you were in the wrong part of England? London is very diverse. More diverse than any part of USA we have visited.
It would be cool if you could visit Canada, I would love your thoughts on that
I’d love to visit Canada !
@@mysolojourneys if you aren't allergic to cats and want to check out Toronto, let me know, I have a spare room you are a friend can use
I would think Americans would be fascinated by your accent and would be very friendly, but up here in maple 🍁 land, we're more used to it. Plus we're not quite as friendly because we inherited the English reserve from the Victorian era... Where England has changed, we haven't really, at least in Toronto/Ontario...
What part of the UK did you live in before so I can avoid it like the plague! You must have been in some Northern Backwater if that was your experience of England.
I enjoyed this video. Do you consider yourself English or British?
Love I can't wait till you eyes catch up with voice. They are a bold blue but you appear to not emote with them.
Hello, I'm Willaim. I wanted to ask why did you move to the US? Was it for a job, school or something else?
Lets go🇺🇲 welcome to the US🤘🇺🇲🤘🇺🇲
How long are you here for ?
If everyone's friendly and help eachother out etc., I'm guessing you're in a southern state like Texas?
WHAT LINE OF WORK ARE YOU IN??
streets
School I’m guessing
You obviously don't live in the Pacific Northwest. You can have any kind of weather you want.
What a gorgeous young woman.
You never mentioned what city you live in.
Tourists visit the huge tourist destinations in the US and never truly experience the US. Take a long road trip from coast to coast through America's small towns and meet the people. You'd be surprised at how friendly and down home the people are. The coastal elite are not indicative of the true people of America!
It's funny, I was just thinking yesterday how much I love the rural, small towns of the US that you encounter when you drive through the country. People talk shit about country folk and the boonies and all that, but honestly those places are filled with salt of the earth type of people. Usually very friendly, and that small town vibe I just love.
I'm surprised that someone likes "DIVERSITY." We are fed up with it.
what zodiac sign are you?
QT.
Honestly comparing a small country like UK against the US is not fair. The US is massive, has a plethora of environments and is The melting pot of the world. UK has a horrible immigration problem and its territories are subject to a central political power. Each state in the US is vastly different from another, case in point CA vs FL, or NY vs TX.
Everything you said you do in America, i've done in England. Feel like it must be just your city that you live in. Can't believe you said England isn't as diverse as America, apart from Canada.. England is the most diverse country in the world. You can access any cuisine in England from all over the world. Fitness and welbeing is just on you, you can't blame that on England. Only you can take yourself to the Gym.
Enjoyed your England bashing video, lovely to see lol
Crybaby
It's spoken from her own experience. What's the big problem?
@@kend1964 you're a 60 year old man using mirror selfies on youtube watching videos of young woman. shut up
Wow! This is a personal perspective no need to attack her!
I didn't take anything she said as bashing England at all, just comparing and contrasting her observations.
Comment: Don't travel to Europe or to England. You are not missing anything. You are better off visiting the USA & Canada.2024
Unless you want some history or to see proper soccer.
I’m a straight, white, middle-aged male American, and I LOVE Europe and England (UK). Sure….if you have no interest in history, stunning and beautiful architecture, culture, and education, then by all means you shouldn’t leave your American comfort zone.
I studied abroad for an academic year in Seville, Spain, and I spent 2 summer months studying in London at the London School of Economics (LSE). I also was able to spend a week
in Italy. Western Europe is absolutely wonderful . When you’re in Europe you are literally walking in the footsteps of history as you constantly are entering structures six or seven hundred years old and older. The architecture leaves you in awe. Everyday you are overlooking the foundations of Western civilization. It’s incredible. Not only that, but Western Europeans do a much better job of helping their citizens by utilizing better policies.
Perhaps the only major mistake they’ve made is in regard to their immigration policies which had a lot to do with the UK leaving the EU. But overall, I would say W. Europeans actually enjoy more freedoms than we Americans do.
My question to the original poster is…..have you ever been to Europe? For some reason, I’m thinking you are a supporter of Trump. Am I right about that?
Agreed
Agreed
Yeah but I will say avoid Canada, and only travel to Republican states in America.
We also have freedom of speech here in the US. You won't get arrested for expressing your opinion on anything or anyone
Welcome to USA and Onlyfans
also you can buy a gun here, arm up!
Beautiful young woman 😊
To say the weather is better is foolish. Where are you. The Aleutian islands of alaska, key west , Fla. ,Lawrence kansas , santa barbra, Ca. superior mn., hawaii? The US is 50 times larger than england. OK, maybe only 25.
try 60 ...
She is correct…I am from Kansas and a retired soldier..(E-7)…but if you are from England as she is, and you are now in a place that is very much varied from the high desert in California to the seaside docks of Maine..it is not grey and gloomy and rainy..as London can be on a regular basis..and she’s right…every day usually you can go do outdoors things whether it’s a game of pickleball..or run some laps around the high school track..you have choices…England, not so much..
Your such a cutie..it was our for father's from England that made America great....we love you
You obviously don't live near many of our wonderful homegrown african culture
Considering how hot you are [especially compared to all the "undocumented" that are crossing our borders], you are MOST welcome here! 💓🤍💙
