- What I love about the UK and Miss After Being Kicked Out! This last year I had the opportunity to live in the U.K. near Cardiff, Wales for six months. My experience and memories I will never forget and I thought I would share the things I've come to love about the UK.

== About Me ==
Hello! I'm Ashley, a travel enthusiast who loves to explore and share everything I learn along the way. I have traveled to over 70 countries and have made if my mission to dig into the culture, history, food, and language as much as I can. I not only want to share my passion for the world but also encourage my viewers to get out and experience it for themselves. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to inspire others to challenge their miss conceptions and step out of what makes them comfortable in hopes of trying or experience something new that may change their life forever.
Be sure to subscribe to my TH-cam channel to catch all that I’m up to.
Did I miss anything!?!??? ❤❤
I guess so... Toe wrestling!
As a Welshman, and as far as Wales goes, you covered sheep, rugby, and pubs...yep nailed it!
Wales is also where the best television programme ever is made- Doctor Who.
Darts 😀
Its always so nice to hear someone say lovely things about the UK. I dont think us Brits really appreciate how lucky we are to live in a picturesque historic island. If only we could guarantee the weather but then what would we talk about!!
We miss you Ash, you are so welcome in the UK anytime.
I'm from the UK and have been living in Spain for the last 16 years, I've loved my time in Spain but due to circumstances plan on moving back to the UK next year. I'm really looking forward to it, appreciating the things I once took for granted, it's going to be a culture shock for sure! 🇪🇸🇬🇧
Uk is by africans and asians overtaken
I'm the same way about accents in the UK & surrounding areas. I have a guy friend I talk to all the time. He's in Scotland. He doesn't understand why we women in the USA find the accent charming. I can't explain it but it is. Have a wonderful week! ✌️👍🤓💖
Scotsmen are definitely attractive without even trying! 😅 (an American)
@@lauralenau590 Yes 👍
When you live in a place as opposed to just passing through like a tourist you take it with you as a part of your life that you will never forget. I was working in St. Thomas VI for 5 months and it made me appreciate the islands and the experience of living there day to day. Ash, all the best!
Thank you for your charming video, Ash. My family live in Wales and am delighted that you described it with such enthusiasm. You bring out the very best in others because of your own upbeat personality. Best of luck to you in the future.
I'm a Cockney from London. You summed it up nicely! Not many have a Sunday Roast at home nowadays (it's mainly a certain generation). It's easier to go the pub and have a pint or two and a roast. I used to fly around the world for 12 years. After 750 flights I hung up my wings. There was nothing like the British Airways crew bringing me a cuppa! I loved all the places I flew to, but everything is in the right place here! Like today, I took a drive to the Kent coast. Had a bit of breakfast and a tea watching the sea come in. Then took a drive to a 14th century pub in the beautiful Kent North Downs, before driving back to London. Lovely day!
Great vlog. Glad you liked your time here 😊
Ash. I commented in your last video about The USA. This UK video sure has me missing things that I grew up with in Britain...things that I took for granted and never really appreciated about the culture and country until moving to the USA in 2003. The rural pubs and friendly people, the Sunday roasts and tea with some chocolate biscuits. The rolling countryside and rambling trails. The ragged coastline, listening to the birds singing in the mornings. I could go on and on but yes, there are loads of things I miss about the UK too. Oh, the dry humour and, as you said, "taking the piss". Yes, this video also has me reminiscing and missing my home country. I hope you can get back there one day, and make it your home.
This was how I felt when I went to Scotland. I have never felt so "at home" in a place that I've never been before. Edinburgh was beautiful and amazing, but when I went up to Inverness....oh man, it was my soul I think. I felt so comfortable and relaxed and present. It really did feel like I was meant to be there. The people too, so friendly and welcoming. I loved everything!
That’s exactly how I felt. Immediately I felt like I was among my people in Scotland. And if I were to move there, I probably would choose Inverness. But I loved Edinburgh. It was so easy to get around using their transportation system. It didn’t feel like a big city at all. ❤
Loved the video Ashley, I have to admit I was sad when you left our shores, especially in the way it ended but now I believe it was for your best interests.
It made you stronger and more confident in the things you wanted to achieve in your life and hopefully you’ll return long term to our sceptre isles.
We take for granted what we have in the UK,..it is special..it really is
I feel the UK calling me back too! I am also a sucker for their castles, small towns and pubs!
On our family trips to Europe, I always try to find at least one castle that welcomes overnight guests. Perfect way to combine lodging and exploring the place makes an ideal activity for a day.
My family and I went to Northern Ireland in 2019. We stayed in a lighthouse keepers cottage and walked down the road each night to the local pub. They had one of those cozy fires going. We had a drink or two, then watched game shows on tv while we ate and played along with the waitress. It was so much fun!
I've never been there but I can't wait to hear about Hungary!
God bless you, Ashley.
I'm from the UK, and we always down play it. Our country is awesome
Really enjoyed this video, and it's heart warming to hear your appreciation for the UK (especially Wales), it sounds like you have a touch of 'hiraeth'
Come back to the UK and enjoy our pubs and our history and culture. We have more castles than anywhere else in the world, including Windsor Castle, the oldest inhabited castle in the world. Our food is varied and fabulous, great transport and countryside and coasts, and our humour is the best! So come back soon, as home is where the heart is! 🥰 Bob and Jen! 💖
Love the bloopers! 😂Another great video Ash 😁 Can't wait for your next adventure 😀 ❤
Loved this video! Especially the bloopers! Sent you a DM on Facebook about revisiting the UK.
Nice to hear the things you like about my country! I definitely miss the humour and good tea when I’m away. I also love that it’s so easy to travel around. I’m in Coventry, if you ever want to visit I’d be happy to show you around 😊 we have some great castles nearby too!
You are so right about all the UK things you mentioned Ash, maybe you will get the chance to stay again one day. The thing is that we are surrounded by it all 24/7, we only really notice them when something changes. I have a famous Norman Castle, many famous historic houses, open countryside, beautiful vilages and tourist attractions, all within a short walk or a few miles drive. I have USA friends who comment on my Sheffield, Yorkshire accent that I sound like Joe Elliott, the singer with Def Leppard. You may think our British accents all sound the same, but they can vary drastically over just a few miles. We can often guess the town, or at least the general location where a person is originally from. My USA friends all rave about the things we take for granted in the UK, they would love to visit, or move here, and regularly ask how we don't shout loudly about what our country has to offer. The only answer I can give them is that it's always been here, for centuries, we just don't really get excited about those things we can visit at will.
Great video Ashley we agree we love the UK! We hope to visit the UK for 6 months in 2023-2024.
Ha ha loved the bloops too! ~Cara 😊
Lovely to see you again, Ash. Kettle is on any time you manage to get back to Wales. x
I can’t wait for your trip to Hungary! I took my first solo trip to Budapest in December / January this year and absolutely LOVED it!!!!
Lovely video Ash we have a few castle's and abbey's scattered around the North East of England and a lovely coast line X
You are always welcome to come too Wales U.K 🏴
I stayed in Scotland for a semester in college a while back and can't wait to go again. Just started planning the trip. Thanks for sharing all your travel knowledge.!
aww hope you can get back here soon ash xx
Awesome video awesome to see you again 🤘👍❤
Thank you!!
Oh I feel ya Ash! My three week visit across the pond in April 2008 ..which is something I've mentioned more than once to you lol...will remain forever etched in my heart. I still even my flight itinerary from that trip. Honestly I was fascinated by the quick changing weather...yeah it rained but I also got a little sunburn . And btw I love cooked carrots lol
Beautiful & smart lady - with some bad luck in the past! Hope that the future will be bright for you!
I've never been to the UK but I do want to visit. From watching your videos there you've given me a lot of places to check out... Thanks Ashley 🙂
I live in Bath in the UK it is a beautiful city come here. Disadvantages expensive and sometimes they try to control you and it’s cold but on the whole it is lovely here. You can always return. Our food is very good also, my mum cooked lovely meals. Love your videos.
Nice video from you as usual. I'd like to explore UK some day, I have been to London only and I know that's only a little part of the country. I'd like to visit Scotland, Wales and Yorkshire.
I have told you this several times as well how magical that place is even when I lived there for 8 years and had a real struggle - I am still so deeply connected. I understand completely 💯 😌 🙂
Hi Ash, a lovely video! You'd be very welcome to come to north Wiltshire on the edge of the Cotswolds! Quintessentially English! Wales is just 40 minutes away!
I'm sure we'll see you back over here at some point Ash! I went for lunch in a country pub just now and I do know exactly what you mean!
Ash, very interesting that you mention the freedom in the UK to roam in the countryside and Sunday lunch, they quite often go together, family's meet walk and then eat together before going their different ways to meet up 7 days later.
Having spent time in Spain and Portugal I have seen the same thing.
Try Burgos, Leon(entry to picos de europa) or the Asturias region(left for Asturias after Leon right for San Vicente de la Barquera, and Santander(route back to the UK), fantastic areas to walk and commune in, Burgos is on the comino to Santiago de Compostela(watch "The Way"), after seeing your USA videos you enjoy a challenge. Best of luck in Hungary.
Hey Ash! We're a British couple living in New Zealand, and the thing we miss the most is a good old Sunday Roast. Can't be beat!
We miss you in the UK!
Enjoy your videos so much 😊
So glad you like them! 😁
Hi Ashley we love a Sunday roast and it's a tradition in my house up here in Yorkshire 🌸🌸🌸
I LOVE UK pub culture so much!
I also love the British accent, it makes one sound so much more intelligent…😊 And I love the English countryside, wish I could live there..❤
Thank s for sharing Ash. You cant beat a bit of banter lol
Muppet -Northern Ireland is part of the UK :)
Lovely video I’ve been following you since your days living just outside Cardiff which makes you honouree Welsh, With all the promotion to the tourist industry you made, You should be allowed to return and stay…. good luck Ash🏴🏴
Absolutely love the the UK
Thank you with love to you from the UK, the UK gives you 12 points in a Eurovision style.
Bless you Ash, well I love the US Southern accents, something about it that makes it friendly. Please stay safe and come back soon, a trip around Edinburgh could be on the cards, Edi Castle, Mary Kings Close, Arthurs Seat, Sheep Heid Inn...
Hi Ashley, the tea culture in UK sounds very much the same as we have here in Finland but instead of tea we have the coffee here. There is some kind of ritual here to expect to be served coffee but never asked for it. Usually the one who you visit ask would you like to have coffee and make some coffee. When it's ready they ask the visitors to come to the table and have some coffee but usually the guests don't go after the first invitation but maybe after second or third then it's ok to go to the table. This is something I haven't seen anywhere else in the world.
I also felt in love with the UK after my first trip abroad when I was a student and we went a study trip to London to watch the work the guide do. London was a place I wanted to go back to but it was the one and only visit I did to London in 1992 but since that I have done many trips to Yorkshire area places like York, Leeds, Manchester and Esholt, that's an area I warmly can recommend you to visit if you will have the possibility.
I do miss the pubs
You can have tea anytime you like Ash
I hope you can come back soon, and stay.
Just made me think about making a cup of tea!!!By the way iam in Devo,n at Seaton. Thank you.
LUCKYYYYY
A lot of the pubs in Britain were originally Inns or coaching houses. These were places for the weary traveller to rest overnight or for coach travellers to have some food whilst the horses were changed over. There used to be Inns in the U.S. also, but perhaps unlike the U.K. they did not retain & repurpose them.
Ash you most have some strong wings! You have been winging it for awhile now :)
Agh you have NO IDEA lol 😆
I agree with you on just about everything you said. That’s how I want to say I met you on TH-cam. You and your husband at the time met friends in a restaurant for an British breakfast. I also love the castles , the rolling hills, the accents. I collect British movies, I have about 300 of them. I love British history. Especially the kings and queens. I watch every British documentary I’m interested in. And guess what? I’ve never had the privilege of visiting England.😊 I love England so much, that my daughter and son in law named my new granddaughter London. So I have never been there, but I love England with all my heart! God bless you Ashley. And I can’t forget to mention the food. I try all kinds of recipes. Jean from Arizona 🦎🌻🌴🌞🌵⛰🐍🦂
Thats brilliant!
Not being disrespectful here but England is not the UK . There is Wales, Scotland , Northern Ireland and England that makes up the United Kingdom hence the name:)
you should come and visit us in Anglesey
Everything starts in the UK with the kettle going on
I love that!
🫖🍵🍪
We walked along a street in Cambodia called 'Pub Street' and both said the irony is there was not a single actual pub on the whole street, plenty of restaurants and clubs but not one pub. You're right about tea, I wouldn't dream of not offering a tea (or coffee) to a plumber etc
Hi Ashley lovely to see you again 😊 Hope your doing well .
The accent s i love New Zealand why i just can explain just do 😅.
So i can understand where your coming from Ashley 😜
😅 oh yes the cup of tea & Biscuits or piece of cake ( being British) when you visit someone etc
Took my Husband a bit of time to get use to my ways when i moved to Europe 😅 .
But he loved the nature so much when he was with me visiting my family he love to live over there once
Retirement , but I don’t want to go back to live , been far too long ,so much has changed. For me.
So true you do miss things from home even after 38 years away i still bring food etc back if we
Are over visiting Family 😜.
Have a Fantastic time in Hungary. Looking forward to to hearing about your Trip 💕
You will always be welcome here in The UK Ash. I can`t think of anywhere I would kick you out of 😜🤣💞💋
I love Country pubs
The UK misses you as well
you lot normally say we are quaint ! are we fook! ? hope ya life journey continues well mate ! mixie
You?? Sarcastic? hard to believe Ash lol going to Ireland in march/april. then hopefully living there by the end of the year!
We live in Australia but my husband is from Devon in England and my daughter was born in Edinburgh Scotland. I know exactly what you mean. Australia lacks that cosy village feel too ❤
There used to be an Irish Pub where I live called Durty Nellie's. Open fire with a big stone fireplace, those big comfy leather wingback Chesterfield chairs, pint of Guinness & a game of giant jenga. Really nice at Christmas or whenever it's super cold outside just cosy and warm. And also, hearing you curse. I was shocked. Shocked! I tell you. Haha. Funny. I wonder how foreigners might receive that British dry "piss taking" sense of humour sometimes. It's a sign that people feel endeared towards you that they do that. Something that you don't consider until someone points it out? Enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the UK. Can be lovely place. We stopped in Ramsbottom a while back. In these, they were like little two person gypsies caravans in a field being woken up by sheep & at night around the campfire with family and friends drinking and talking. It was a magical few days. Not far from where I live, but made me appreciate what we have on our doorstep.
Watches rugby in the pub, loves tea, gets the concept of ‘taking the piss’ still can’t believe you got kicked out you’re almost naturalised!
Pahaha SO TRUE. Lol but my visa ran out so I had no choice but to leave.
@@WingingItWithAsh Our loss.
Come and stay again sometime. You seem lovely.
It’s a shame we can’t move there easily if we want to. It’s a dream. Just love the U.K. I even like their weather.
I plan on heading back there this or next year! I hope when I'm over there we could meet up somewhere in Europe!
YES PLEASE!!! 😘😘😘😘 Keep me updated cuz and happy early birthday 🎂
@Winging It With Ash Will do for sure!!!! It would be so wicked to hang :) and thanks, another year done!
Ash, if you ever need an unofficial tour guide to North Wales, just let me know 🏴 Iechyd da! 🍻
Hey Ash. Pleased you enjoyed my home country. However I'm interested what you consider a Welsh, Scottish or English accent? As they change every 30 miles or so and sometimes the local slang with it?
The always raining in the UK is partly a myth based on scientific evidence. The West side of the UK does get a lot of rain but the East side is much drier including London. Did you know London is much drier than New York?
Hope you can come back to the UK soon and do all the things you love! Sitting in a country pub round a blazing open fire on a cold winter's day with a cool pint is one of my favourites!!
Come back to Wales
It doesn't rain a lot everywhere. If you lived in the south east you'd miss the rain!
You make me laugh. I hope people swoon over my accent. I live in US and am from the UK
Haha I’m sure they do!!! Lol 😂 The truths out!
There's only one thing for it Ash, you'll have to move back to the UK. We need you here, only this time come up to Yorkshire to live. We might have a reputation for having a blunt exterior, but you'll soon realise that inside we're warm and friendly with a bit of a broad accent. We'd absolutely love to have you, we'll be waiting....
We do offer tea without thinking about it. I never realised that it was a thing. It just happens.
Please come back
I hope to one day Simon!
The US has some nice castles. I have visited a nice one in Orlando, and I believe theres a similar one in Anaheim, California.
Are they 800 years old ?
What!! I serious have NEVER been to one in the US
@@123bwlch The one in California is 67 years old. The one in Orlando is 51 years old…..
Lol! They're totally magic!
@@rightasrain7949 So pretty, that the Germans went and made a copy of it.
This really does sound like you're experiencing what we call 'hiraeth'... hope you're able to come back one day!
Just to clarify - the Republic Ireland is not part of the UK but you have the Irish tricolour included in it!!
We have diffrent accent in Sweden 🇸🇪 to depend in with county you live.
I'm british and live in London. I would say there are regional variations on how friendly people are to travellers. Apart from the service industry there is an ongoing joke about how londoners don't make eye contact and avoid any communication with strangers while (particularly people in the North of England) are over friendly, to the extent saying hello to someone you dont know is considered a big crime in London! We dont even say thank you to bus drivers. This is partly because London has a lot of informal rules in order to manage transport and busy places and keeping people moving!
I guess a return trip Is in the offing? Having been rejected for a visa extension before, and now having been in Spain over 6 month's, I'm sure you'll have no trouble receiving a tourist visa for UK
Thats very true!! 😍😍
You and my wife have a lot in common. Headed to the UK for 2 weeks in May, most of it spent in or near the countryside, per her desires.
While your wife is enjoying the British countryside, you can enjoy a British pint in a British country pub.
@@iancomputerscomputerrepair8944 That is indeed the plan.
Try fish and chips from a fish and chip shop. Soooo nice and completely different to what you get over there! 😋
Are you back in Barcelona Spain? Last time, I thought you had to go back to the USA and apply to return for your student visa. I am confused. Are you in the USA or Spain? Thanks.
Its not too late…..
Hi Ashley, Just spoke to the Home Office they said they might let you back in if you promise to behave yourself and stop mangling our language?! Color? Favorite? Center? Apologize etc and the mispronunciation of the word 'Route' which gives me a headache (Only joking you're welcome back anytime!) Cheers Jim, Surrey❤X
Ash come back soon we miss you ❤😜
You are taking the piss! 😉
ALWAYS!
Ask why were you kicked out
Add to your list the amazing charity shops where you can find interesting, high-quality items for a song! Also, there is a greater availability of FRESH foods and foods from other parts of Europe. How about the huge hazelnut chocolate bars for about 1/10 of the price they cost in the USA?!! People in small towns and villages help one another. The people act with a bit more common sense. The USA is going through unsettling puberty and teenage rebellion while the UK is the adult in the room!
Scottish accent is the goat.
What does "goat" mean?
@@lorddaver5729 Greatest of all time.
@@jason4275I am Scottish and I can tell you that there is no such thing as "a" Scottish accent. Surprisingly, for such a small country, there is no single Scottish accent but numerous accents, depending on which part of the country you are in. A Glasgow accent is distinctly different from an Edinburgh accent, which in turn is very different to an Aberdeen accent. And a Dundee accent is different again. And there are different accents in the South West, the Borders, the Highlands, the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, etc. I am from Edinburgh. Most of the time I cannot understand what somebody from Aberdeen is saying.
@@lorddaver5729 Kelly Macdonald has the best Scottish accent I ever heard, and if you don't understand an accents that's because they are speaking informal Scottish, doesn't matter if it's English, American, British or Scottish, you would never write a school essay using informal English, when speaking informal you don't write the way they speak otherwise you would fail that essay.
@@jason4275 Firstly, I don't care about Kelly Macdonald's accent. Secondly, badly spoken English, in the guise of a regional accent, such as one from Aberdeen, can still be unintelligible. I KNOW it is informal English. Please don't insult my intelligence. But that doesn't make it any more intelligible. And most who speak with a strong local accent in Scotland are disinclined to change how they speak if someone says "Could you say that again, in formal English?" So what are you supposed to do when faced with a bloody-minded Aberdonian who refuses to change their speech to plain, or "formal", English? And my original point remains valid. There is not one Scottish accent but numerous regional accents in Scotland. Finally, what do you mean "British or Scottish"? As a Scot I AM British. British does not solely mean English, as you obviously think. Britain is the geographic name for the largest of the British Isles. It comprises Scotland, England and Wales. The Scots, English and Welsh are all British.
Oops I mean Ashley why were you kicked out
My visa ran out. That’s all.
There is hospitality in the USA, It's sad that you lived here and never came to the South where Southern Hospitality is still around and very much alive. Saying there is no hospitality in the USA is insulting because you never even traveled here enough to find out how amazing it is here! There is hospitality in many places around the world.
You should have tried "toe wrestling" in the UK!
WHAT!!! I have a feeling I may need to go back just for that! 🤣😂😂
@@WingingItWithAsh Of course you should go back there just to experience it! Toe wrestling is a lot of fun! Did you know it before you read my comment?
it seems sad that our immigration rules have not allowed such a valuable asset to UK society to remain , when so many of dubious intent are somehow admitted. Such a shame that we lost you, but hope the situation is just temporary!
Your thumbnail has 4 flags. One is The Republic of Ireland. NOT in the uk. 🇮🇪.
Im so sorry I made that mistake. I had no idea there’s another flag.
we need to find you a nice welsh boy to settle down with
Im not made at that prospect! 😬🤣
