I think you covered the section about Katie perfectly. You’re meant to be a role model for her as a sister, not a carer. The more we coddle people with disabilities or vulnerabilities the more we stop them from developing themselves. Katie’s a grown woman and deserves to be treated that way. You’re right to be able to live your life while caring for her as a sister IMO
I have a disability i have 22q11 deletie syndrome, and i am a heart patient , My mum is my carer but also my best friend,and she doesn’t have her mum anymore and you can’t let people with disabilities let do everything on there own, some can’t some can, Yes she is a grown woman i am to, But i still need help with alot of things cause i can’t do them myself you may not understand it , but my sister helps out aswell sometimes, But yes Katie deserves to life a live as a grown woman but not alone she needs help sometimes with things😊 I don’t want to discuss or anything but that’s how i see this comment
I have 2 carers 24 7! I’ve got learning difficulties & mental illness. Some people can do everything on there own, some can do somethings alone & need help with others & some people can’t do anything alone. You could look at me in the street & thikk there’s nothing wrong. You can look at someone else in the street & see there’s something wrong yet they might not have as many struggles as the person that looks like there’s nothing wrong. But Elle isn’t her career you are right, & Katie seems like she can do enough on her own & enjoys the freedom & independence so it’s fine. Elle is still young she needs to grab her dream before it’s too late ⏰ 💖🙏
@@MrsdumeeI worked with a baby who had 22q10 deletion syndrome, she couldn’t cry, she couldn’t talk and they thought she’d never be able to walk. With so much support she started walking and uses an ACC to talk. By giving her support and not doing everything for her she’s developed so much! She’s now about 5/6 years old and she amazes me with how well she’s doing. She’s a sassy little girl with an amazing personality.
What a wake up call moment for me: “if mum had known she would die at 54 she would have lived her life differently” - such a powerful sentiment 😢 it takes so much courage to do what you’re doing. I have a lot of admiration for you both ❤ only good things lie ahead!
OMG guys it's going to be such a special moment when you finally pick up Herbie and Heccy from the airport. It will the ALL be worth it.. you will feel COMPLETE. SO excited for this moment and all the other amazing moments to come for you all :)
Why do I feel like I’m going to miss you?! 😢 even though you’re still here, with us!!! And better yet, taking us to the USA!! 🥰✨🇺🇸 enjoy this dream of yours boo!!!! Xxxx
I feel the exact same and can't even explain why 🙈 I think its because we know she'll no longer be a couple hours away but she'll never be without her British tea and biscuits which makes me feel better 😂🤍

Loads of luck to you all. I lived in America for a year 30 years ago and took our dog out there too. Katie will be fine and all those great holidays she will have out there for you. After all your planning and dreams, just remember if you don’t like it then it’s simple, you come home…..nothing lost xx

I vote texas! Much more for ur money, bigger sized houses and yards, loads of space in general and more family orientated. Excited to see the vlogs of the whole process!

We moved from Australia to Canada. 14 hour flight for the dogs with a flight change from Vancouver to Toronto … another 5 hour flight. And they were so fine and excited to be there! The airlines took such good care of them.
100% recommend moving to Texas. Connor is right in property and tax. Also, make sure you are very aware of politics in California. It is VERY different from living in Texas. Politics is a huge factor in America and definitely be aware of that before moving. You can always visit California on vacation! But for settling in and purchasing a home, Texas is definitely the winner. Also the food is just *chefs kiss* 🙌🏼
Texan politics are the worst lol I would never recommend anyone move to Texas. Not to mention all the hurricane prone areas in the south of Texas, the heat, etc.
This is such a huge opportunity for not just you guys but your boys too. Whether you end up living there forever or coming back within the year, the memories alone that you will experience with your beautiful boys will make every second of it worth it. You’ve been through so much Elle and have had so much personal growth through grief and other learnings and this really does feel like the perfect reward for making it through. Not just making it through but doing it with such grace and whilst also learning to be a Mum. I’m just a stranger but I’m SO proud of you. Truly x
I’m 24 and still dreaming about Australia, so happy for you both, you’re glowing with excitement! Also, not just a food TikTok but I think Con should do an American food challenge omg! xx
I really understood and resonated everything said about Katie, my mam passed away 6 years ago and my younger sister since has had her troubles with her health and mental health and it has been left up to me and my older sister to raise her and take care of her and even now there’s things I feel I can’t do because I’ve to be there for her and the fact that I’m seeing you guys be able to develop that healthy relationship of being just sisters and not a caretaker and being able to move to America, really inspires me.
I’ve only just started watching your channel but I have a saying and that is “when I’m 90 and lying on my death bed, I want to look back and say ‘damn I had a good life’”. So go to USA & live your dream. You can always come back but there’ll be regret if you don’t go. Life is for living. X
Exciting! I live in Houston, TX and I've always loved it here. And surprisingly, over just this past year, I've found myself living next door to a lot of influencers! I just rented a home and literally found it last Saturday and signed the lease the next day. The real estate market is crazy here, but so excited for you all and whatever you decide!
I moved from the UK to Dallas Texas almost 5 years ago now and it was the best decision I ever made. Texas is a lot cheaper and it’s easy to fly to so many places too!
Wow amazing!! Thanks to you we decided our relocation needed to happen now too and have estate agents coming to see us this afternoon! Exciting times 😍❤️
So happy for you both - make sure you sign up for health insurance, but shop around. A lot of businesses offer health insurance to their employees. San Diego is amazing but housing is expensive but super duper dog friendly, Houston you have to think of the storms that blow through & having to migrate north when they do with everything you want to save and get BRUTALLY hot but WAY more affordable for housing. Lived in Dallas for awhile and would get tornado warnings, torrential rains etc....
US Visa rules are extremely strict and I wish you gave more info about why you were eligible. I imagine it’s because of your online career/income, but this isn’t realistic for the vast majority of British people, including skilled workers (it’s not the same as moving to Australia or even Canada)
Yes , I am interested in what category of visa they were eligible for . I am married to a U.S. citizen and was shocked at the very long very expensive process it was .
Me and my partner have moved from the UK to Dubai and have been here almost a year now! Its the best decision we have ever made and i relate to these videos so much💓 Go chase your dreams, I cant wait to watch xoxo
i just want to say thank you for sharing a huge amount of vulnerability of how you feel about katie & the whole thing!! as a sister too a disabled brother (mental disability) & a mum too a disabled little boy (physical disability) i so appreciate somebody who i look about too,like you elle is really heartwarming & actually makes me feel so seen!! i feel so similar too you about it & too see a figure that inspires you speak about it is so incredibly beautiful & i appreciate you & con of course so much!!🥹🥰🫶🏻
Best of luck on your new journey!! Follow your dreams and live your best life! Must admit… I’m with Con on Texas! 😅 can’t wait to share this journey with you! I weirdly feel like I’m going to miss you knowing you’re the other side of the world! But I know you’ll always be a tea and biscuit British girlie at heart xxx
I'm so excited for you guys! And I would most definitely support Connor doing a food review channel I think that would be so entertaining. Especially seeing his reaction to American foods. I grew up in MA it's definitely a spot to visit. Best of luck to your little family ❤
Ms Darby, who is in a relationship with fellow influencer Connor Swift, called foreigners 'meatheads' who 'speak in grunts', and said she 'hates Polish people and Indians really'.
Good Luck in your journey! Im married to my American Husband and now have my little boy, lived in the US for 2 and half years but came back to UK since missing family, it wasn't the same for me. Hope it all goes well.☺
There's a national retailer in the US called World Market and they sell lots of UK chocolates and other treats. You can find Cadbury at most grocery stores too!
I’m sure you probably already learned this, but just in case remember you have to go to designated beaches when you bring the dogs. One of the best ones is Dog beach in Del Mar. Gorgeous place! I’m so excited for your lovely family 💕
Yes will follow Con if he sets up a tick tock or vlog on food, so pleased your taking us on this journey with you, Kit Kat can always visit you and FaceTime, best thing for her is independence which she is doing so well love her. Enjoy your journey x
So happy for you Elle and the family. Covered leaving Katie perfectly. If you can follow your dreams you should absolutely do that!! Sending love and good luck can't wait for the vlogs ❤❤

I have lived all over the place in the US 🇺🇸 and I truly think you can’t go wrong! California is beautiful and you are never far from a beach, mountain, desert etc it’s very travel-able to other locations too like Arizona and Utah. Healthy lifestyle and the restaurants are amazing Unfortunately we moved out of there a few years ago during the pandemic and it hasn’t ever been the same 😢 San Diego and LA downtown feel a bit unsafe now comparatively especially with little babies. Texas is amazing and has grown so much in the past few years - especially Dallas and Austin! A lot of CA people have moved there so it has a lot of similarities plus the better taxes and property pricing, land, freedom and southern charm. I would also highly suggest looking at Nashville, TN! Very similar but the taxes are even less and you’re close to the mountains, lakes, beautiful rolling hills and nature. Either way best of luck on your journey! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 wishing your beautiful family a smooth transition!

I am so excited you guys are coming to the U.S!! People like to bash us and most people who say that are the people that are actually U.S. citizens. However, I can’t imagine living in another country. I love the traditions we have here and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We have a long way to go with political things and whatnot, but I think that’s a constant battle in every country. I’ve lived in Texas and I would highly recommend it. The people there are so kind and would give you the shirt off their backs. My fiancé and I just bought land in TN and will be officially moving in May. Our neighbors are the kindest humans you will ever meet. The community is unlike any other there. I can’t wait to see where this journey take the both of you. Welcome to America!!! ❤️
I really get the feeling that Texas is going to be your place!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 best wishes to you all, keep safe and enjoy. Can’t wait to see your adventure! 💙❤️
I’m am so incredibly happy for you and your family!! Like you mentioned in the video, life is so unbelievably short and we should all try to aim make memories of a lifetime. Can’t wait for all the America vlogs!!🇺🇸
So excited for all the firsts in America, I’m here for it all , and Thanku for taking us on your journey and showing us the American way I can’t wait 🎊 🎉❤❤❤
US follower here 🇺🇸 can’t wait to watch your journey. You definitely will get more bang for your buck in Texas. I feel like California is a better place to keep to visit than it is to live.
Safe travels guys on this new chapter in your lives, Katie will be fine she loves her independence it will be a huge stepping stone for her as it will you guys and the family. love to all xxx
So excited for you both! I grew up loving American TV and used to go on holidays there frequently as a child so I get it!! Can’t wait to see all the vlogs 🥹 you’ll have the best time! ❤️🇺🇸
We just relocated to northern Florida from NY. We love it here …. Huge homes and low taxes …. Great weather…. Just can’t beat it!!! 2 hours from Olando and Disney.

I get the exact same feeling about needing to be elsewhere. I love the UK, it has its perks, but I've always felt I wanted to be elsewhere, so I TOTALLY get it. Whichever state you decide, you're going to live the best life with all your boys! Enjoy and good luck with everything xxxx
Sending you all the love and support in the world!! Having previously lived in Bakersfield CA as a child in the 90s, (I loved it), just got to go with your heart and follow your dreams xxx
I was that excited hearing you speak about this that I felt like I was coming with you 🤗 You're so brave to be making this move and living out your dream 🇺🇸 xx

Congratulations once again. I have moved from my home Country South Africa to Zimbabwe and to the UK (England and Scotland) 4 times so I know what it is all about. Kaitie will be fine. What beautiful sisters you are and the bond you share it so special.
I’m so excited about all this!!! You are going to love it all the special holidays you get to celebrate can’t wait to celebrate them through you! I always find Americans so lovely💛
So happy for you guys you deserve the world never stop dreaming and grab them whilst you can as having life limiting illness like mine it makes it much harder to travel thats why im so greatfull to people who vlog 💖
I live in Utah, so if y'all come up, you and your pups are welcome here :) I have 2 dogs and am 30 minutes from the ski slopes. GREAT place for kids here, so so so many families.
So excited on your new journey & adventures living here in the U.S. guys! I can understand the difficult decision on choosing between Cali and Texas. San Diego is a beautiful place to live and the beach life is really wonderful. Con is correct that Texas has no state tax, bigger homes, land, a more affordable cost of living compared to Cali, BBQ & Tex Mex food galore, and well...we give you a good reason to really speak using "y'all" a lot. Lol 😄 Weather is also a huge factor. Cali has mostly mild ideal weather nearly year round where Texas gets VERY HOT in the summers. Whatever you decide I wish you all the very best. I'm with Elle though that I'm also worried to fly the dogs out. You just hear those horror stories of them not getting enough oxygen or being checked on regularly in the cargo hold. Or not being taken care of once they're at the terminal also. It's just scary! Please be sure you really double & triple check who will handle their care during the long flight here & how they will be cared for.
Hi guys we went through the America process so much to it we only stayed 2yr I now live in nz been here 13 yrs love it but I do look forward to going back to see my elderly mum in uk Best of luck my darlin some people just think of doing this takes a lot of courage to do you Connor and your gorgeous boys and of course doggy’s will do well can’t wait to see your journey ❤️🥰❤️
Omg congratulations to you all and I have been watching your channel for a long time and I really hope you all have a wonderful and safe journey to America and I can’t wait for more videos from you guys ❤😊
You should get a house in Texas and save up for a little beach house in cali as my sister done what you did when I was 1 and moved to ny! She now lives in philidelphia with her husband and dog but they also have a beach house by the beach in New Jersey so you can move between in the summer or for the weekend and get best of both worlds. Or say you only wanted the “beach house” for summer rent it out as an airbnb when you’re not using it to cover the costs for it? Xxxx
Wishing you well for the American dream. Would definitely watch food reviews, the whole British living in America content. You could rent a RV and do a road trip holiday.
Good luck to you guys, it was always my dream but it didn’t happen so I cant wait to follow you on your journey and watch your dream unfold and live it with you 🙏❤️
Elle I've followed you for years now and I just want to say I LOVE that you are chasing your dream for you and your family. I'm quite similar in that my Mum died...and I am sooooo close with my sisters. But I had this ITCH to get out of the UK. And I did it. I've now lived in Hong Kong for 6 years and honestly feel like I'm living my dream. The novelty has NEVER worn off. I wake up every day and look out my window and think...wow...I LIVE HERE! I wish you nothing but the same for you in America. Are there days where I miss my family so much it hurts? Yes. Do I get riddled with guilt on special occasions and birthdays that I constantly miss? Yes. Do I sometimes overthink if I'm being too selfish and made the wrong choice? Yes. Do I feel I've left my family behind? Yes. Do they miss me so much and always hope I return one day? Yes. Do I sometimes think about moving back? Yes. Of course you will have those feelings too, but at the end of the day...we have one life and we have to live it for ourselves. Life is way too short to not go after what you want! And lucky for us, planes were invented! :) Have an amazing time - gut instinct is always right.
I've been waiting for a video just like this, and am so excited to see the entire moving process from you guys. My boyfriend is American and is buying a house in Vermont this summer, and he's waiting for me to get my sh*t together and go live with him. This video is the kick up the ass that I've needed to finally take the plunge, even though it's been my dream since I was a kid. I've just been scared, but seeing you guys do this gives me so much courage and excitement to go get my dreams too. Thank you guys Xxx
I’m so excited for this journey! I can’t wait for the vlogs, the new lifestyle, the house tour, the boys to join you! It’s going to be amazing! Also, I would definitely support Connor’s food reviews! 🤣❤️
Honestly couldn’t be more excited for you guys!! I’m so excited for the American videos!! You guys following your heart and dreams is honestly inspirational. Life really can be so short, live your best American girl life! 🥰🎉 xxxx
Yall should definitely look at living in Nashville Tennessee Franklin county to be exact. Very family friendly! As well as Mississippi. The beaches in Mississippi are beautiful!!

Wow 🤩 guys ... Only 3 hours ago I started watching your vlog and your views had 288 ( including mine ! ) and just look at how many you have now never mind by this evening !!! You both just wonderful people , Love 💕 as always Xxx
I wish the best of luck for the both of you, you won’t know until you try. I lived in America for three years when I was 21, it didn’t work for me and I missed the UK terribly. I think I felt quite lonely but that’s not to say you will feel the same. There is also the thing of expensive medical insurance and the primary reason I would never live in Texas is the gun laws. Not to put you off I just hope you’ve considered all of these things and I wish you nothing but luck.

As someone who lived in New York For 6 years, keep your UK phone contract and get an international bolt on! So much cheaper than American plans!
SO excited for the USA vlogs!! 🎉 Please vlog your entire home and location selection process in both CA and Texas! ❤❤

Good Luck in your journey! Im married to my American Husband and now have my little boy, lived in the US for 2 and half years but came back to UK since missing family, it wasn't the same for me. Hope it all goes well.☺
When you said about that feeling .. that’s me with the UK I’ve never been but it feels like home I could cry thinking about it
Its actually lovely to show katie you trust her and believe in her enough to leave xx
There's a national retailer in the US called World Market and they sell lots of UK chocolates and other treats. You can find Cadbury at most grocery stores too!
I’m sure you probably already learned this, but just in case remember you have to go to designated beaches when you bring the dogs. One of the best ones is Dog beach in Del Mar. Gorgeous place! I’m so excited for your lovely family 💕
Yes will follow Con if he sets up a tick tock or vlog on food, so pleased your taking us on this journey with you, Kit Kat can always visit you and FaceTime, best thing for her is independence which she is doing so well love her. Enjoy your journey x
So happy for you Elle and the family. Covered leaving Katie perfectly. If you can follow your dreams you should absolutely do that!! Sending love and good luck can't wait for the vlogs ❤❤
I can’t wait to watch this video Elle, so so happy for you and so so excited for your new journey. ❤🥰

I have lived all over the place in the US 🇺🇸 and I truly think you can’t go wrong! California is beautiful and you are never far from a beach, mountain, desert etc it’s very travel-able to other locations too like Arizona and Utah. Healthy lifestyle and the restaurants are amazing Unfortunately we moved out of there a few years ago during the pandemic and it hasn’t ever been the same 😢 San Diego and LA downtown feel a bit unsafe now comparatively especially with little babies. Texas is amazing and has grown so much in the past few years - especially Dallas and Austin! A lot of CA people have moved there so it has a lot of similarities plus the better taxes and property pricing, land, freedom and southern charm. I would also highly suggest looking at Nashville, TN! Very similar but the taxes are even less and you’re close to the mountains, lakes, beautiful rolling hills and nature. Either way best of luck on your journey! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 wishing your beautiful family a smooth transition!
So happy for you all following your dreams, looking forward to seeing all your vlogs videos. Have a great day xxxx ❤

I am so excited you guys are coming to the U.S!! People like to bash us and most people who say that are the people that are actually U.S. citizens. However, I can’t imagine living in another country. I love the traditions we have here and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We have a long way to go with political things and whatnot, but I think that’s a constant battle in every country. I’ve lived in Texas and I would highly recommend it. The people there are so kind and would give you the shirt off their backs. My fiancé and I just bought land in TN and will be officially moving in May. Our neighbors are the kindest humans you will ever meet. The community is unlike any other there. I can’t wait to see where this journey take the both of you. Welcome to America!!! ❤️
I really get the feeling that Texas is going to be your place!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 best wishes to you all, keep safe and enjoy. Can’t wait to see your adventure! 💙❤️
SAN DIEGO ALL THE WAY 🎉
Sending you both all the happiness, love and success! You deserve it so much!
Go and soak up the sun, and best memories ❤❤
I’m am so incredibly happy for you and your family!! Like you mentioned in the video, life is so unbelievably short and we should all try to aim make memories of a lifetime. Can’t wait for all the America vlogs!!🇺🇸
Safe travels to you all, your dream is becoming a reality ❤
So excited for all the firsts in America, I’m here for it all , and Thanku for taking us on your journey and showing us the American way I can’t wait 🎊 🎉❤❤❤
US follower here 🇺🇸 can’t wait to watch your journey. You definitely will get more bang for your buck in Texas. I feel like California is a better place to keep to visit than it is to live.
Safe travels guys on this new chapter in your lives, Katie will be fine she loves her independence it will be a huge stepping stone for her as it will you guys and the family. love to all xxx
So excited for you both! I grew up loving American TV and used to go on holidays there frequently as a child so I get it!! Can’t wait to see all the vlogs 🥹 you’ll have the best time! ❤️🇺🇸
@@KateBee123 I don’t know any other Dolan’s so that’s cool! ☺️ a downside to the UK is the weather‘s pretty rubbish 😅
We just relocated to northern Florida from NY. We love it here …. Huge homes and low taxes …. Great weather…. Just can’t beat it!!! 2 hours from Olando and Disney.
So proud of you all. Wishing you safe travels 🤍🤍

Welcome to our country! So excited for you and your family, I live in Alabama and the hospitality in the south is amazing. 🇺🇸🙏💛
Ms Darby, who is in a relationship with fellow influencer Connor Swift, called foreigners 'meatheads' who 'speak in grunts', and said she 'hates Polish people and Indians really'.
I get the exact same feeling about needing to be elsewhere. I love the UK, it has its perks, but I've always felt I wanted to be elsewhere, so I TOTALLY get it.
Whichever state you decide, you're going to live the best life with all your boys! Enjoy and good luck with everything xxxx
And i have always wanted to move to the Uk 🙂
Sending you all the love and support in the world!! Having previously lived in Bakersfield CA as a child in the 90s, (I loved it), just got to go with your heart and follow your dreams xxx
So happy for you both how exciting!! Can’t wait for all the vlogs and to follow your journey in America! 🇺🇸
I was that excited hearing you speak about this that I felt like I was coming with you 🤗 You're so brave to be making this move and living out your dream 🇺🇸 xx

Congratulations once again. I have moved from my home Country South Africa to Zimbabwe and to the UK (England and Scotland) 4 times so I know what it is all about. Kaitie will be fine. What beautiful sisters you are and the bond you share it so special.
I’m so excited about all this!!! You are going to love it all the special holidays you get to celebrate can’t wait to celebrate them through you! I always find Americans so lovely💛
So happy for you guys you deserve the world never stop dreaming and grab them whilst you can as having life limiting illness like mine it makes it much harder to travel thats why im so greatfull to people who vlog 💖
New Englander over here!! You have to come to New Hampshire to hike and ski and go to Maine for the beautiful East Coast beaches! 🤍✨
Couldn’t be more excited for this new journey of yours! As a fellow American, welcome to the USA!🇺🇸
Enjoy your life in the USA 🇺🇸 I’m so excited for you all xxx
I feel you on the motherly love for Katie I have a younger brother with disabilities I get 100 percent where you are coming from
I live in Utah, so if y'all come up, you and your pups are welcome here :) I have 2 dogs and am 30 minutes from the ski slopes. GREAT place for kids here, so so so many families.
Everything is bigger and better in Texas! Team Texas!! 🤠👏
So excited on your new journey & adventures living here in the U.S. guys! I can understand the difficult decision on choosing between Cali and Texas. San Diego is a beautiful place to live and the beach life is really wonderful. Con is correct that Texas has no state tax, bigger homes, land, a more affordable cost of living compared to Cali, BBQ & Tex Mex food galore, and well...we give you a good reason to really speak using "y'all" a lot. Lol 😄 Weather is also a huge factor. Cali has mostly mild ideal weather nearly year round where Texas gets VERY HOT in the summers. Whatever you decide I wish you all the very best.
I'm with Elle though that I'm also worried to fly the dogs out. You just hear those horror stories of them not getting enough oxygen or being checked on regularly in the cargo hold. Or not being taken care of once they're at the terminal also. It's just scary! Please be sure you really double & triple check who will handle their care during the long flight here & how they will be cared for.
Big move but why not? Actually living your life for you! Will be an experience ✨️ never to forget ❤
Hi guys we went through the America process so much to it we only stayed 2yr I now live in nz been here 13 yrs love it but I do look forward to going back to see my elderly mum in uk

Which visa did you guys apply to?
So happy for your guys Wish you and your family all the best can not wait to see your journey in America 🇺🇸
I wish you both all the best for your new adventure, i cant wait to watch your upcoming vlogs.xx
You should get a house in Texas and save up for a little beach house in cali as my sister done what you did when I was 1 and moved to ny! She now lives in philidelphia with her husband and dog but they also have a beach house by the beach in New Jersey so you can move between in the summer or for the weekend and get best of both worlds. Or say you only wanted the “beach house” for summer rent it out as an airbnb when you’re not using it to cover the costs for it? Xxxx
I’m going to miss all the cozy UK content! But cant wait to see your little family thrive here in the states❤
Wishing you well for the American dream. Would definitely watch food reviews, the whole British living in America content. You could rent a RV and do a road trip holiday.
Good luck to you guys, it was always my dream but it didn’t happen so I cant wait to follow you on your journey and watch your dream unfold and live it with you 🙏❤️
10:08 this is how I feel about Spain , it’s all me and my boyfriend talk about moving away to Spain so scared to tho !
Spain for me too!!!!
If you want it so bad , just do it! You Will love it there
Elle I've followed you for years now and I just want to say I LOVE that you are chasing your dream for you and your family. I'm quite similar in that my Mum died...and I am sooooo close with my sisters. But I had this ITCH to get out of the UK. And I did it. I've now lived in Hong Kong for 6 years and honestly feel like I'm living my dream. The novelty has NEVER worn off. I wake up every day and look out my window and think...wow...I LIVE HERE! I wish you nothing but the same for you in America. Are there days where I miss my family so much it hurts? Yes. Do I get riddled with guilt on special occasions and birthdays that I constantly miss? Yes. Do I sometimes overthink if I'm being too selfish and made the wrong choice? Yes. Do I feel I've left my family behind? Yes. Do they miss me so much and always hope I return one day? Yes. Do I sometimes think about moving back? Yes. Of course you will have those feelings too, but at the end of the day...we have one life and we have to live it for ourselves. Life is way too short to not go after what you want! And lucky for us, planes were invented! :) Have an amazing time - gut instinct is always right.
Huge best wishes to you both, you and your family deserve all the happiness. Excited to watch more vlogs! X
I've been waiting for a video just like this, and am so excited to see the entire moving process from you guys. My boyfriend is American and is buying a house in Vermont this summer, and he's waiting for me to get my sh*t together and go live with him. This video is the kick up the ass that I've needed to finally take the plunge, even though it's been my dream since I was a kid. I've just been scared, but seeing you guys do this gives me so much courage and excitement to go get my dreams too. Thank you guys Xxx
I’m so excited for this journey! I can’t wait for the vlogs, the new lifestyle, the house tour, the boys to join you! It’s going to be amazing! Also, I would definitely support Connor’s food reviews! 🤣❤️
I feel exactly the same about the USA. It feels like home.
So very Happy for you and your wee family, safe travels to your next Big Adventure.
Brilliant opportunity for your family 🎉. So excited to follow along❤
I am SO happy for you guys love you so much have watched from the start you’re so inspiring thanks for all your videos ❤❤❤❤
Honestly couldn’t be more excited for you guys!! I’m so excited for the American videos!! You guys following your heart and dreams is honestly inspirational. Life really can be so short, live your best American girl life! 🥰🎉 xxxx
Yall should definitely look at living in Nashville Tennessee Franklin county to be exact. Very family friendly! As well as Mississippi. The beaches in Mississippi are beautiful!!
Safe travels guys!❤ so excited to watch this next chapter of your life ✨💫

Best of luck in your new adventure. A couple of tips- we have Cadbury chocolate and Sunday roasts so you don’t have to miss them.
I think all those houses that fell threw was the universe, knowing it had something better for you n obvs it's America x
Wow 🤩 guys ... Only 3 hours ago I started watching your vlog and your views had 288 ( including mine ! ) and just look at how many you have now never mind by this evening !!!
You both just wonderful people , Love 💕 as always Xxx
Connor without a doubt I will be following your food account so I can live vicariously through you !!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 American food is elite
I wish the best of luck for the both of you, you won’t know until you try. I lived in America for three years when I was 21, it didn’t work for me and I missed the UK terribly. I think I felt quite lonely but that’s not to say you will feel the same. There is also the thing of expensive medical insurance and the primary reason I would never live in Texas is the gun laws. Not to put you off I just hope you’ve considered all of these things and I wish you nothing but luck.
So happy for you guys. Wishing you so much happiness for your new venture ❤❤❤❤

Have you guys checked out the 30A area of Florida? It’s STUUUNNING and I think it could offer everything you’re looking for ☀️🌊
Big Yes to the Connor reviewing food!!!
