  • After 4 long years in Chiswick, the time has finally come for me to move. But I don't really have an alternate place to live quite yet...

    If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make travel vlogs of all the exciting places I visit. I started travel vlogging about 8 years ago because I wanted to see more of the world and be able to watch back some of my adventures. I also make weekly comedy videos every Sunday on my main channel usually revolving around funny differences between British vs American things! Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

    I had to do something similar in 4th grade for Flat Stanley. We made life size paper "flat" versions of ourselves. I don't remember the assignment but I sent mine away to spend time with my best friend who had just moved away and she and her family went ALL OUT and took flat me all over the town they lived in. Museums, rode horses, etc etc. Even made a whole scrapbook with pictures and stories. I'll never forget that, I still have all of it

    You might want to visit Southport (40 mins north on the train) is a cool seaside town.
    And West Kirkby (Wirral line from central) has some great views and if you walk out to the island (tide permitting) you can sometimes see seals.

    Flat Stanley is a book! I used to love it as a kid. Stanley was actually flattened by a board falling off the wall while he was in bed I think. He was also posted to different places in envelopes, I think he was used as a kite at some point, maybe even helped to stop robbers by pretending to be a painting or something, it was a great time lol. I also seem to remember that in primary school (I think year 3 or 4) we used to write letters using Flat Stanley paper and I think it was a pen pal situation. Anyway, thanks for bringing back those memories, Evan haha! (also, wishing you well in your adventures!)

My partner and I had our first date on the docks, by all those pad-locks, and it's nice to remember. I will say though, Liverpool is a great place for culture and history, and if you travel over to the Wirral, there's even more, including a tram museum, beautiful town halls, and more. Also, take the Ferry, it's an experience. Welcome to the North West, and hopefully things get better for you Evan!

    -also go up the Anglican Cathedral tower (say hi to my friend Katy who works there)
    - go to Lark Lane (a bit outside the centre but worth it) and Sefton Park the Palm House in the park is great
    - best brunch from the Tavern on Alerton Road (American style - so you need to try)
    - must go on the ferry!

    12:55 That historic apartment and attractions complex you looked at is the Royal Albert Dock. Opened in 1846 it was the first dock in the world that allowed ships to load and unload directly into and out of the warehouses. In the 1980s the by then long-disused warehouses were converted into the apartments, shops, restaurants, museums and galleries you see today. The Red ship stuff you mention is all the original infrastructure used to load and unload the warehouses.

      I think I prefer the S.E./Home Counties more than London itself (as a whole). I’m bound by affinity to the side of it south of the Thames (very-much so) but I can absolutely leave Dagenham and anywhere-else outside south London that’s not Camden.

    I'm from Moreton (a town on the Wirral) and genuinely it was lovely to see someone who's lived in the South point out Liverpool's beauty. It's different gravy up here than in southern towns and cities so enjoy it as much as you can. I'd highly recommend visiting the Wirral if you can; go to New Brighton or West Kirby if you get the chance (for all their flaws, they are lovely for first-time visitors of the paradise peninsula).

    They say moving is about the most stressful thing after bereavement and imo that's true. Change can be very unsettling sometimes. Cried my eyes out last time after 15 mostly happy years on the South Coast. But I've been even happier where I moved to in Scotland. With new beginnings come new opportunities and new things to experience. Good luck with it all.

    We had Flat Stanley in elementary school here in Indiana, too! Our whole class read the book (about the kid who gets flattened by his falling bulletin board) and then we all got to color in a paper "Stanley" and mail them off to an out-of-state relative who then would bring Stanley on an adventure where they live and then send him back with a bunch of photos of his travels. Then we all got to share our Stanley's adventures with the class. One of ours went to a cousin in Washington and the other went to a cousin in Florida, who was actually on vacation in California at the time. They came back with pictures from Mount Rainier and Disney Land. It was actually a pretty cool assignment!

    Welcome to Liverpool!! You'll have a great time. Socially were an amazing city, and were very welcoming. Look for a place to live in the south end, around sefton park, it's beautiful. The park is lovely too. Lark lane area is very nice and quite bohemian. Enjoy 😊

  • @mymanifesting

    I lived in London for nearly 20 years - Hammersmith, Holloway, Wimbledon Wood Green & Tooting.
    Liverpool really rocks, absolutely amazing history, architecture, beautiful parks, particularly Sefton, some of the best restaurants in the country, theatres, museums, seaside resorts, can manage the city centre on foot... Honestly like a mini London. There's nothing I can think of that it lacks!. Oh, on a more minor matter, London equivalent properties around 3 times more expensive.

    Hey Evan, a lot of my family is from New Brighton which is one of the towns you could see over the other side of the river Mersey. It’s so cool to see you in places I’ve grown up visiting!
    Some ideas of things to do for you:
    - See the Anthony Gormley statues on Crosby beach, good photo op there!
    - Go on the ferry (..across the Mersey 🎵)
    - Visit Chester Zoo
    - All the museums in the City Centre are great, and they’re free I think.
    - Not sure if it’s still there but there’s a big wheel by the arena which gives great views of the city.
    - Visit both the cathedrals, even if you’re not religious (I’m not) they’re great from an architectural and historical point of view.
    - Visit the Albert dock (that’s on the other side of those apartments with the red metal work on them)
    Hope these might be helpful!

I had no job, no address, my nursing license renewal slip had not been forwarded and now I was going???? Thankfully the nursing license dept was supportive and got me sorted out , friend took us in for 10 days, found apt and staggered on. But dang...it took a lot out of me. Never want to do anything like that again..ever.

Maury held the post from 1790 to 1829. Liverpool was at the time Britain's leading port for transatlantic commerce and therefore of great economic importance to the United States.
