Every country on the planet has its pros and cons. Don't fool yourself in to thinking the grass is greener on the other side. Learn to be content in life with whatever you have. You will be happy wherever you live. 😊
Have a look at other places. Obviously London is a "world city" with such a cosmopolitan vibe, but there is much more to the UK than London. Great if you have work there and can afford accommodation there, but there other cities which offer a similar experience on a smaller scale (Manchester, Newcastle, York, Edinburgh etc) and towns which are within reach of the cities. There are pros & cons (I live in a village in North Yorkshire with village green, pubs, shop, church etc. and there are "smaller" walkable cities like Durham, York, Cambridge (so beautiful), Bath, Ripon... Enjoy the UK. Different countries (Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland) offer a different experience to England but GOOD!
I moved from Switzerland to the USA a few years ago. Biggest mistake of my life. Now I’m wondering if I want to move to London. I definitely want to move away from the USA again due to the high crime, crazy politics and tons of uneducated people. What I like about the UK is that your family doesn’t inherit anything if you don’t want them to. That’s very important for me!
@@themisanthropichumanist7050 It’s a long story. I have a brother who is a dangerous psychopath and he hates me so much that he wants me dead. My father and other family members were very worried about my safety, so I moved to the USA (USA because I have dual citizenship CH & USA). But I want to move away from the USA again. This country and half of the public are just to crazy for me and the very high crime rate in the USA is also very scary.
Welcome to the UK London is a vast city never nothing to do or see you could live there's all your life and still won't see it all I would personally move to the outskirts in the country still easy to commute and good for kids and not so noisy unless you prefer that lifestyle I
we kind of loved London when we visited in Dec-Jan, and again in July. we also love to travel, and felt that it would be an amazing opportunity to travel Europe if we lived in a travel hub like London. plus, getting jobs in Europe seemed the most realistic here (we only speak English)
if you didn't live the 60s in England then you haven't lived at all, best jobs best tradesmen best music best clothes best groups, best motorcycles, best people, best butter best bacon best wimpey burgers, propa fish and chips, everything is imported cheap and trash, use to take less than half the time get to california, from heathrow concorde not any more, those were the days, a suppose
To be honest, we are still working on it. We are finding that the best and easiest way to achieve it is getting hired by a UK-based company that will sponsor you to get a skilled worker visa.
Move to the north east of England it's cheaper and better countryside for miles around and better still less people and more friendly plus Newcastle United yer canna gan Rong 👍
Theres nothing there apart from some nice beaches, miserable weather and people, no jobs, thats why I left years ago. hardly anybody moves there, let alone americans, the trend is to move south, not north. Also its a myth about northeners being more friendly, theyre just more nosy
@@bonvoyage5377 all right mate born Durham still in west Durham woodland and fields all around me lived here 57 yeahs plus Newcastle United i love and it's only 3 pound a pint in the club house where I live you cannot go Rong 👍
If you really want to see the proper UK, you definately need to get as far away from London as possible. It is not representative of the UK at all, its very expensive, over rated, unfriendly and a crime ridden melting pot. There are people who still think its the centre of the universe, it isnt and its nowhere near the place it once was. Don't be fooled, there are loads of places in the UK that are far better, safer, friendlier and cheaper.
This would have been so much better with decent sound...background noise was too loud, your speech was way too quiet and the incidental music was not needed.
Londonistan? All the world and you chose there? I couldn't get out fast enough. Overpriced,filthy and dangerous. Yes I'm English and I worked in Westminster. Not going back either
London is an amazing place; I have lived in a range of places across the UK (and worked in several other countries). After experiencing the culture it has, I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Hmmmm 🤔
Londonstan is a foreign country inside the UK .
sitting at the front top is every british childs goal
and Ryan’s!
And mine! (Now 75, haven't managed to grow up yet).
How very sensible of you. You are most welcome (although London is rather a poor representation of the rest of the UK so maybe travel a little?)
We are currently in Worthing and Brighton and it is so charming! We will definitely be traveling around :)
@@ryanandmichailaNice, I live in Brighton, great place.
@@ryanandmichaila Brighton has the best street 'busking' ever! Just a pity the 'The Big Push' are no longer performing there. :(

Why did you move from Switzerland? I was in Lugano a couple of weeks ago and it's dreamlike!

Come on over to the UK if you can. Much nicer place to live than the US
If you move to London as well we will be on this journey together! Best of luck with everything.
Don’t move to London, definitely don’t.
I live down the road next to Wandsworth Common, great part of London.
That area is great! We definitely want to be in the southwest area of London
Welcome to London 💛
thank you sm!
Just live with us--We welcome you. Maybe a little chilly though. We have everything
Really, really enjoyed this. Such a relaxing perspective
Good move. You wont get shot there.
Thanks!
Welcome to the UK

Thank you! Yes, in the near future we hope to travel to the surrounding areas of the UK. It all seems so charming. A lot to explore!
You both seem a lovely couple. Welcome to the UK. I hope you see outside of London as that’s where the real UK is.
Thank you kindly! We are currently in Worthing and Brighton and it is so lovely :)
Lool ppl outside london luv this narrative
@@kwameopoku3576Because they've seen what London's become.
I live near the coast but easy access to London. Love it there as a visitor 😁
Love it!
Are you still enjoying London?
Be happy. You're kids will be happy. In a few years time I mean
A lot safer in UK guys.and NHS free. Lots of lovely city's. Go York . Bath. Great vlog😀😀
What made you want to swap LA for London?

be careful, dont be wearing headsets on the streets london is the headquarters city for terrorists , be on your guard
sounds like a dream!!
Love the "Hershey" backing track on your video!!
we love it too! check out @jimmers on Spotify.
Already added to my playlist! 👍
Yeah, first thing I did was shazam the song, it's now in my playlist 👍Enjoy the UK guys 🇬🇧
Do you feel more relaxed walking round in England than USA.
For the most part, yes. But it does depend where you are :)
@@ryanandmichaila do you miss the 'active shooter' warnings?
We have much offer but not good weather 😂
Lovely video enjoy ur stay 👍🏿
❤ 🇬🇧 ❤
I'm sure other readers would like to know how you pulled of the miracle and ontained the essential residence and work permits.

Depends on your priorities. I loved living in the North (Liverpool), but would rather spend more to be in London for all that offers.

My god what has happened to Brick Lane
You must be well off , eating out in London. Careful with words ‘pants’ and ‘fanny’.
Not the cheapest place to eat out haha. Once we have our own place we will definitely be cooking more meals at home
I don’t know why, but I kinda kept waiting for Zombies to turn up and start eating people behind you ?
let me guess, did you just binge watch Last of Us?
A lot to learn about how to integrate and reduce the California characteristics.
how on earth will you survive without a gun!

So is every where else
Nine Elms? Basically Brixtón, love. You really wanna be between the Commons, down the Junction
This would have been so much better with decent sound...background noise was too loud, your speech was way too quiet and the incidental music was not needed.
Thanks for the feedback! We hope to improve our video-making as we go ☺️
Londonistan? All the world and you chose there? I couldn't get out fast enough. Overpriced,filthy and dangerous. Yes I'm English and I worked in Westminster. Not going back either
Filthy is not my experience, if not the opposite
Must be a different London. Dangerous, not compared to the USA or other places.
London is an amazing place; I have lived in a range of places across the UK (and worked in several other countries). After experiencing the culture it has, I can't imagine living anywhere else.
Sorry to hear that Robert! We will find out soon enough. We are looking forward to exploring in and outside of London :)
@@ryanandmichaila londons great i was born there live now in newcastle upon tyne, still go to london once a year, its a great place!!
