    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.

    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.

    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 TH-cam 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

    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.
