So informative! I love that you called Gibraltar “Gib” as well.
Thank you Jason! Really appreciate your support on my channel :)
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you so much
I’m considering a job offer there so this video did quite a lot for me
Great video, answering the REAL questions 👏 👏👏👏
Thank you my darling! We will do our restaurant reviews soon!!!
During WWII certain places, like St Michael's cave and WWII tunnels, were prepared as hospitals but they are not used anymore.
no Sorry that doesnt answer the real questions because a lot of the answers she gave were totally wrong, yuour are better off going on Speak Freely or Gibraltar questions on Facebook.
Wow, thank you so much for the info. Always great content on here!
Thank you beautiful Betsy! I’m glad you enjoyed xx
Just a little FYI, in Gibraltar you do the full GCSE and Sixth form course. During GCSE, it is compulsory to do Spanish lessons. Hope this clears that :).
What?
The main hospital in Gibraltar is St Bernards hospital the one inside the rock is a WWII historical site.
I am an ethnic minority person in Gibraltar 🇬🇮. I have been here for 15 months and love it.
There is only one hospital here in Gibraltar called St Bernard's Hospital which is fashioned after the NHS.
I love Gibraltar. I wanted to live here but the accommodation is to expensive. So I gave up. But I had an apartment near Marbella so I love Spain as well. But now live in the Philippines.
With time you might notice that religion and/or cultural background, plays a bigger role than color in Gib. :) Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Protestant, Orthodox, etc. A few hundred years living in that 3 mile stretch. I think they stopped caring about color a while back. Spanish cars, not always with Spanish people inside them, are mostly there to shop. Ever since that door was opened it expanded Gibs wealth and opportunity in many ways but yes, more cars, more people. But more importantly it opened that door for Gibraltarians to feel more geographical freedom and access to dairy fresh foods, beaches, forests, rivers and Europe without having to go to Morocco first.
I've spent plenty of time in GIB, and love the place. Interesting what you say about religions, as they al seem to integrate very well in a small space. Lesson for the world, maybe ?
Spirits are cheaper but cider isn't! Generally a little bit pricier than the UK.
There's no value added tax (VAT), but there is import duty on most items. And almost everything is imported, so in effect, it works as a value added tax. Specifically on alcohol and tobacco it is quite low, so shop prices will be lower than UK for those items.
Hey, Nathalie. When I went to visit I was astonished at the lil amount of minority groups I have to say. This is a good video, I am trying to leave the UK in the next few months, so it's best to know everything. :)
I've been told it's 112 across most of Europe for emergency calls. Uk is different with 999.
You’re right! You can also reach emergency services with 112 in Gibraltar :)
I love when you do it too . I’ll see you in a years time , im sure you will hear me scream at ya ! Hello ! My Gib advisor!
I love GIB. Been many times. Great vid.
Is it part of uk do we need visa for gib
Hi,I am a Spanish I just move back from UK after living for 22 years in UK and I would like to search for a job in security industry or building site I know it can be a bit challenging but I will try.
Hey! I’m Spanish but been living in the UK since ‘16, my partners British and I’ve been trying to get him to consider moving to Gibraltar as I want to be closer to home cause of health issues. What would you say about your decision about moving to Gibraltar?
i used to live in santa margarita and i was working on casemates square in gib at the bar next to the bus station..... i also opened a jamaican takeaway in santa margarita .... i have a villa from my landlord in santa margarita to ... i am back over there in a few months to start my 4th youtube channel if you ever want to collab as a fellow UKer lol .. i'm from Manchester ... nice detailed video btw keep smashing it
Hey! Would love to collab! You can message me on Instagram @NathalieMillen
I would love to live in Gibraltar as it’s where I was born, I don’t think anytime soon it will happen x
Heyy Nathalie, thank you for this! I’ve got a job offer in Gibraltar and will be moving from the UK alone, being 19, how easy would you say it is to feel settled in Gibraltar for younger people and to meet other people in your age group? The all around social side of things? I know Marbella and Malaga well and I know it’s not too far from Gibraltar for a night out.
Hey Nicola! Congratulations on your job offer! It’s super easy to make friends! I can send you a bunch of social groups to join :)
@@NathalieMillen Hello hopefully you can reply to this , I’m looking to move to Gibraltar soon I’m 22 and hopefully you can sed me social groups to join😊😊
@@ASMR-vb1cphow did you get on? Me and my family are really considering this move.
Great video 👍
Me and my familly really want to move here, i have a job that pays 50k a year i know i woildnt get that in gib but ibwould sacrifice half of this for the standard of living, my wife works for the NHS so maybe would be easy for her to get a job, im really interested but stuck.
i'm half Gib big up nice vid.
I'm half-Gib too.
sitting here -6 ,im thinking gibraltar's looking pretty good
You are sooo great! I wanna move there and I need a kind of taste how loving is there. You are the thing I searched for. The missing peace in the puzzle I guess 😂👍👍👍
Also can you answer me a question:
Which part of the country is the best to live in as a worker in the city. Wich part do you recommend to live in and which not so much.
And:
Idk if I could work as a German teacher or tutor or maybe a translator in Gibraltar 🇬🇮 ❤️
Is there any chance by teaching German there?
Hey! Thanks for your lovely comment :)
As a worker, I would live on the west side of the rock. It’s much easy access to everything, offices, supermarkets, restaurants and bars!
I did see a few German speaking roles based here so there should be opportunities for you to work over here! It’s always great to know a second language :)
@@NathalieMillen thank you sooo much for answering ☺️! Can you maybe just answer me one thing:
If I have a pretty stable income and a apartment in the town side, do I need an extra income or passive income to cover my expenses?
Is a car necessary for moving around Gibraltar or is a bike enough?
Thank you for answering my comment and have a great day😃👍
Very informative and you're so pretty ⚘️
IM FROM GIBRALTAR 🇬🇮
So was my father.
Madame: Richer people live in Gib as one must have $2M GBP to get a visa and pay no taxes.
do you know any scooter rentals around gibraltar close to the rock?
The link to your Instagram account is not working. Hope you’re doing well.
Hi.. is Gibraltar going to join the Schengen area? I know they have been negotiating for a while but Spain has become an obstacle. What do you think?
Avid gardener and hubby graham the baron live in gib they have a great channel
Can you watch English TV in gibraltar like Eastenders and stuff like that
Yes, virtually anything you can watch in the UK you can watch in Gib
What about housing and rents? Thank you
I noticed on most video its seems to be cloudy and overcast
It’s often cloudy and windy in Gib , because it’s close to the Atlantic
Amazing
You have such beautiful skin!
I want to move to gibraltar personally. What's job availability for road workers and construction there?
About a hundred a day but Spaniard pedro gets the jobs you’re have to be a manager to jump on the roads tbh
Hi Nathalie. Thank you for this informative video. I am not looking to move to Gibraltar but I am doing a research paper on intercultural communication and I picked Gibraltar as my choice. Since you have already more than a year in Gibraltar, can you maybe help me answer some questions regarding culture from your perspective?
Hey Riche! Thanks for your comment. I’d love to help you with your paper. You can pop me an email to talk further nmillen94@yahoo.co.uk
How can I apply for visit visa
BOOM
I’m from Italy and Im not sure if I would need a visa to live and work in Gibraltar.
you would as gibraltar left the EU with the UK
Yes, you would.
great video
5:40 "come in to Gibraltar to....... you know"
🤔
The hospitals are caved in?
I'm raised in London and born and living in the united states. Can i purchase property in Gibraltar as an American? Cheers
Hey! Thanks for your comment :)
There is an open market available for anyone to purchase a property and then there is a "3 year residency" market available for individuals who have been residing in Gibraltar for a minimum of 3 years. I can do an extensive video about this if you like :)
Gibraltar is part of the UK.
So u are not an expat/immegrant.
Ps
It would be like moving to Cardif or Glasgow if you had lived in England and calling youself an expat😳
And the way she said whites and minorities!!! It’s a ENGLISH TERRITORY OFCOURSE ITS MAINLY WHITE! Omg they are so insufferable they always have to mention race like BISH STFU no one cared about race until they mention it, it’s draining
Can I use my benefits and live there in gilbraltar
Hey Kieron! What benefits do you mean?
@@NathalieMillen if we can move to Gib and still have our benefits ie ESA and PIP thanks for replying back your the only that has got to me.
How to find job there??
I’ve attached facebook links for job openings in Gibraltar in the description :) I hope this helps!
So prety you are😊
im interested in moving to gibraltar but cant find a job suitable :( is it a good place for young people to move to or doesn't anyone stay there a long time ?
What job are you looking for? It’s worth to check daily on the facebook pages and LinkedIn!
Nightlife is great here but if you ever get bored, then just cross over into Spain and your options are wider. Malaga is only an hour away by bus! X
@@NathalieMillen i'm studying science in uni but unfortunately jobs at the hospital are super rare so i'd be ok with marketing or something office-based .

You’re video was really helpful thank been wanting to move to Gibraltar for about a year now now covid has made this very difficult 😞 with lockdowns in the UK and Gibraltar of course please don’t take this offensively what do you pay for rent and are how flat shares easy to find if you have any experience trying to find one ? Not looking to come to Gibraltar for work I am coming for business purposes hopefully 🙏
Hope you at loving Gib life
Thanks in advance Anthony
Hey Anton! Rent in Gib is quite expensive. I pay around £850 for a studio! Have a look at some real estate websites to have a feel of what’s available at the moment :)
Most people live in Spain and commute to Gib for work and nightlife so you can always look for properties in La Linea without having to house share!
@@NathalieMillen Thank you for tax purposes I need to be in Gibraltar don’t mind a studio for £850 that’s actually responsible for the benefits Gibraltar being is there laws against subletting say I rent a two bed and get a house mate myself is that allowed and I certainly don’t want to be in La Lina not like there is anything wrong with La Lina but it would created problems with my business Thank you for you’re response I really appreciate it what about Council taxes water rates and Electric how much more expensive are the Utilities compared to England
Hi as a born and bred Gibraltarian and though our nationality is British, Gibraltarian culture is definitely not UK, it’s Mediterranean with a twist of British/Andalucian/Italian/Maltese, Moroccan and others all mix, we a multicultural society and our way of life is Mediterranean. We speak English and Spanish and a mixture of both, called Llanito or Yanito, our culinary/ cooking is Mediterranean and its deep rooted and definitely not fish and chips, though nice but more for tourist. Young people do speak Spanish, and it would be shame if that bilingualism is lost 🇬🇮
Hi Nathalie
Sorry if you are going to vlog about Gibraltar at least get your facts right, you have given more erroneous information in 9 minutes than the governmenrts of china and russia combined, Gibraltar has One Main hospital called st Bernardss and one Psychiatric hospital calle Ocwean Views, our National dish is indeed Calentita and the diet we r=tend to follow is Mediterranean, the Demographic is very Diverse yousay there are no Asians but yet Gibraltar ahs a huge iIndian community whicha has existed since the capture of the rock in 1704. if you didnt know this where have you been the past year, every other shop in Gib is either a british chain store or and Asian shop, there are over 10000 asians in a population of 30000, 5000 jews about 2500 moroccans as well as the local population, education is exclusively in English and Spanish is taught in school, the Street Language is Yanito which is a mmixture of English and spanish with words thrown in form all other cultures. So please if you want to continue to VLog about Gib dont stick to the English Expat community, get out and about meet people and educate yourself about our country and traditions.
Thanks for your comment Michael. I do mention in the beginning of the video and the description of this video that the information I have provided is what I have learned. I’ve only been here for a year and I am still learning and a little patience for my knowledge of Gib will be amazingly appreciated. My channel is aimed at English expats and I want this particular community to have an idea of the experiences I went through. I do have a lot of Gibraltarian friends which is where I’ve learnt the information thus far and I am a member of Speak Freely, as mentioned in the video. Have a happy new year! :)
I don't think she has given false information. Maybe she has not given enough information, but then what's Wikipedia for?
As a yanito, best thing you do is go back to london. Younger generations dont speak spanish? Really? You dont seem bein' living here for one year , wake up!
I appreciate the video. It was always going to be Nathalie's own perspective, it doesn't have to be super objective.
U still in Gibraltar I live here let’s link up
Hi
What’s the Facebook name ?
Hey! What Facebook are you looking for?
@@NathalieMillen the Facebook page you have mentioned in your video about job , etc.
I’ve added the links in the description box. Let me know if you can’t see them and I’ll forward them over to you
I want to speak with you in private
Do u see black ppl there?
lol the younger generation dont know spanish..not true, almost all locals speak Spanish
Hi, I did also say that I heard from some locals that it was fading out. This video is my experience after 1 year in Gib and of course a lot of opinions of mine has changed since this video was created and uploaded. Have a great evening!
As a local and Spanish speaker I can say that the Spanish language is being lost here!!
Get A LIFE
Hi
I liked your vlog just wanted know if there are any WhatsApp groups I could join to make friends as I am looking to move to Gibraltar
Did you move to Gibraltar???
Thank you for this information, could you pls share your email or Instagram or Facebook I'd
