How much is car insurance in states? Here in UK its usually at least 2000-3000 per year for young driver sometimes its even more expensive than that. If you say this is cheap so how much is it in states?
@@rosiealice6855 At about 2:03 it sounds like you were being told by others that Brit Roads were bigger. BTW..I do enjoy your videos and I hope you inspire other Brit Nurses to come to the US. There has been shortage of RNs in the US since before 1980s and it continues to this day. Finding a job as an RN would not be hard at all, especially since Brit already speak the English AND they have 50 states to pick from! Good Luck!🙂
Hey Rosie, I'm a Brit who moved to Wisconsin about 7 years ago 😊The seasons are nice but the best ones (Spring & Fall) are short and Winters are BRUTAL at times, and as I get older it's definitely going to be a factor. I'm thinking about either the east of west coast of Florida, do you think you'll be happy there long term or are the negatives leading you to want to move eventually? Mosquitos are a bane in WI too, my logic is that the coastal FL breeze will help there... or is that wishful thinking? 😆
Hey!! I’ve never been to Wisconsin! Same with Florida, we don’t have a fall but our “winter” Is short. It’s already back in the 80s here! It is lovely here, I guess it depends on what you prefer, I can’t wait to start going back to the beach now it’s warming up... But then in the summer it always feel too hot to do things. We’re planning to move ASAP and I think when we have more land and privacy we will enjoy life more here too. We’re central Florida too so the hurricanes don’t hit us too hard I’ve heard! 💕
@@rosiealice6855 Thanks! I've googled hurricane patterns and it seems the gulf/west side is less prone, so thinking about Dunedin, St. Pete's, Sarasota area. I also function much better in heat than cold, plus was always a coastal person in the UK too, miss it!
My friend lives near St pete! It’s beautiful! They did get evacuated when hurricane Irma happened and they came to stay with us, but if you do you can always go to Disney 😆😆
In America kids have to rake a semester of drivers education. Includes learning the drivers manuel, and a certain number of hours on the road with a drivers Ed teacher. The we get our permit where we are able to drive on the road with an person over 21

Lol....I loved hearing your thoughts on living in Florida. So excited to find another Florida person! I think people consider Florida drivers horrible in the cities especially Orlando because there are so many tourists. I agree with you. The portion sizes here in the U.S. is much bigger. The sweet potato casserole is a southern dish! 😁 it’s really good if it’s made properly. Lol....we survived the Florida summer to be able to live in our Florida winters. I actually used to live in the UK for a few years...and I am so very familiar with UK winters. It was shocking when I moved there in a January and it was pitch dark at 3 pm. It was a lot to get used to! Great overview! 😁
Thank you! That’s awesome To know where it came from! Certainly live for Florida winters, living for it right now! 😰 wow! Such a small world! I’d be interested to your time in the UK! Should share in your channel! UK episode 😆
All things are relative. Americans would say that gas prices are ridiculously high right now. Food is so high right , due to our "lovely" president Dementia Joe.
We have different gravies: Chicken gravy Cream gravy Sausage gravy Pork gravy Liver (beef) gravy Beef gravy Beef gravy is brown. Liver and pork gravy are tan. You change your gravy depending upon which meat is served with the meal. If you are having chicken, you will be putting white gravy on your mashed potatoes. If you are having beef, you will be putting brown gravy on your mashed potatoes. Also, try your gravy over rice -- that is delicious.
When discussing take aways and cuisines, let's not confuse americans into thinking we don't have some of those in UK 😂 she's comparing maybe Yorkshire to Florida, not Britain. Idk about Yorkshire, but in London we have all those cuisines, Indian food is everywhere, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, we don't have as much south american except in South london independent shops, because most latinos live in south london but we have alot of CARIBBEAN everywhere else, and african, loads of caribbean food, Jamaican. We have mostly chinese take aways everywhere more than anything but also.. HELLO! You left out KFC! & Burger king is everywhere in London and other big cities too, but sad to hear your food options are so shite in wherever in UK you were living. America in general is big on fast food which I don't consider a positive, I'd wonder if Florida has alot of actually NICE restaurants though? You miss English food? Meaning fish & chips and Sunday roast? Because that's about it and it isn't hard to make anywhere in the world lol
When you live in a tropical area like Florida then you take vacation in the fall, say around beginning of October and you spend a week either in Vermont or New England to see the colorful trees, or you go to Pennsylvania to see the beautiful colors, and maybe go to the Amish Dutch Country that would make you feel like you're in Europe.
I visited America several times, I’m Moving to America from the UK soon and I’ve decided I only want to befriend Non-American Expats, preferably Brits. My friend moved from London to Florida a few years ago and told me it’s hell trying to make long-term American friends, they have a habit of ghosting their friends for months .
4 years as a brit in FL for me was enough. Everyone feels entitled, not to mention trigger happy people. Never get out of your car and approach another car, you are likely to be shot
Omg! I grew up in LA and now live in miami and miami has the worst drivers I’ve ever come across. The I-95 in dade county is like mixing the driving style of Mexico City with the driving style of the villages, and using turn signals is a sign of weakness according to ppl who grew up here lol
Hey Rosie, great video! It was very helpful. I'm moving to Orlando from London next week, and I was wondering how long it took you to get your driving license from the time you completed the written test to the time you completed the practical driving test.
I randomly clicked on one of your youtube videos and it's very interesting and informative. I have lived in the U.S. for more than 20 yrs (half my life) and has been to Florida. It's a good State overall. But try visiting other places like CA. Not just LA. come down here in San Diego and i guarantee you'll like it here too. Thanks for the vids!
Thanks! I’ve been to San Diego, Lake Tahoe and a few others. I was comparing to LA as that’s where my husband is from so we could easily move there if we wanted to 🙂 Any recommendations of places to visit in Florida??
@@rosiealice6855 I only visited Florida for a week(Miami). Never lived there. All i can say is it's really hot and humid just like back home in the Philippines lol. Thanks again!
I'm from Yorkshire but have a lot of happy childhood memories of Florida, really nice people and there's always something to do, plus the weather is great
Great video, love your Midlands/ slight American twang that you have picked up! 👍👍..good luck to you. We go every year and would love to be able to move over and get work there, just seems so difficult to do and wouldn’t know where to start lol.
Thank you!! A lot of people move here through work it seems! I can testify it’s also very different living here comparing to coming here for holidays, I’ve learnt the good and bad sides!
@@rosiealice6855 I can imagine, my mum and dad used to have a villa in Hampton lakes down the 27 off the 192. They have friends over there, some who have opened business. One even won the green card lottery through an Irish passport as her dad was Irish. It seems easier for Irish to be able to move there than us Brits! I am going to look into it as I am a commercial gas engineer and also have electrical qualifications. 🤞🏻
Thai and Japanese are easily available in England or at least in the big cities, you can get Shake Shack too. As for the weather I would of thought you would still need to plan, as every year I go to Orlando and it rains so much. And back too the food it’s like they put three spoons of sugar in every meal. And generally speaking it is more processed even from the restaurants not to mention the hormones fed to the animals etc. Also it is petrifying as a pedestrian to cross the road in Florida and drivers are turning even when it’s White man UK Green man. That is plain simply wrong and dangerous and one year I was hit. So I don’t think the roads are safer, most definitely, not for pedestrians!
This was my perspective of living in England. I always had to travel over an hour to get different varieties of food whereas it’s readily available where I live in Florida. Yes I think I mentioned most food in Florida is junk and fast food. Although we have more fruit available here compared to England.
It is against the law for a driver to hit a pedestrian. Pedestrians have the right-of-way. In any and all situations, if you are walking in the street, the driver must stop and let you cross. That means any street, any situation, any time.
My mom is originally from England born and raised has lived in Florida for 50 years South Florida me being the American daughter there’s many differences that I see never thought of the cars though but I don’t know just totally different locations in general and since I was raised in Florida and went back-and-forth to England as a child I just see it is totally different locations but it’s an interesting outlook from a younger brits perspective because my mom is course is older.
Rosie - I think the reason your FL driving test was so minimal is because you were already considered a licensed driver. Here in Wisconsin, you would be legal to drive with a UK license. If you established residency, you would need to apply for a license. BTW, our seasons are probably similar to the UK and many of us like to visit Florida to escape winter, especially as we get older.
Hi Robert! I believe that’s how driving tests are in Florida as I waited for my appointment in the parking lot and watched the young drivers take their exams. I’ve never been to Wisconsin! Do you recommend visiting or seeing anywhere in particular?
Hey Rosie! I’m a British gal in Florida, moved here a few months ago. I married my Floridian husband in October and we have no idea what to do in regards to immigration 😅 any advice?
I live in Northeast United States and we do not eat white gravy. We have a dozen different gravy in the Northeast including brown gravy, beef gravy, Hunters gravy, and mushroom gravy, onion gravy, chicken gravy, turkey gravy, pork gravy, ect ect. Many gravies in the Northeast would be more like European gravy's
Idk if it was me but im convinced driving in UK and California was much more manageable than driving anywhere on East Coast of USA especially Florida/DC metros.
I'm an American who loves American food, diners, steakhouses, seafood restaurants, buffets. I also love European Foods and I really like British food. I'm a chef and I know how to make all-british foods, if you miss your British food then you should find a good British restaurant or you should cook yourself some British food. Beef Wellington and beef and kidney pie, and Sunday roast is not difficult to make.
Great video and insight my love thank you, I myself am moving to Miami from London for my beautiful American fiancé and as a born and bred Londoner and scaffolder that works hard im delighted you've found lots of opportunity out there and loving life ❤
Thank you! Wow that’s so exciting! When are you hoping to move here?! It’s definitely a different life out here as you’ll soon discover, totally different to coming out on holiday 😆
@@rosiealice6855 Hi Rosie thank you for the reply.... Well as it stands we're hoping for a romantic/ Scouting trip for a month around the may/June time ( or whenever this covid pandemic allows us to go lol ) first to see what's its like ( she's from portland oregon so it will be her first time there also ) but I already know we'll love it then we'll start the process of getting there for the end of the year hopefully. I'm sure we'll both love it as we've already fallen in love with the idea and neither of us has even been there! 😂 Truly wonderful video you have so we'll definitely keep looking out for any new ones you do 😊❤💋
@@bobbycorbett3046 I hope you can both get together soon! I’m hoping the same for my family coming out from England too. I’ve got plenty more to come 😄
For me probably the hardest was Floridian natural habitat, snakes and iguanas. That scared me to death! Never seen snakes and lizards like that in my life. Sometimes still very scared to walk out in the yard.
That’s the same for me. We don’t have these types of animals in England. Especially gators! I’ve seen so many snakes in our yard 😫. Where are you from originally??
Do you find that there is a lot more overt religiosity in the states? I feel like that would be something a Brit would have to get used to; we don't typically discuss religious matters publicly. It would be regarded as a bit odd.
Wow, I'm still young but in around 10 years I'll probably be moving to Florida, rn I live in England but I'm not quite from here but yeah- And I'm excited to see what Florida has! :D
Hey I just wanted to ask what your visa process was like as my fiancé lives in Florida and i am going to be going on the fiancé k-1 visa next year to be able to get married and hopefully move
I’m going to be in your exact situation - I’m studying to be a nurse and my partner is in America and we are thinking of living in florida wanted to know if it’s good :)
I would love to marry a girl like her. I live in College park downtown Orlando and gotta start looking for a girl with an accent like hers to make fun of and flirt with. Too much fun!
Really?! 😳 haha. Definitely not LOL! Not all British people sound the same, a lot of people think of British as London lol which I’m far from. It could be that I’m recording so naturally my voice changes a little. 😝
I’m originally from the UK, my experience is the standard of driving in the US is much worse than UK, poor lane discipline, people do not use turn signals and follow to close.
Wow I’m surprised. Having lived in England my whole live until 22 and living in Florida for nearly 5 years I feel Americans drive so much better. I think both countries have drivers that don’t use turn signals but haven’t noticed one more than the other. I feel much more safer driving out here but thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😄
I would be curious to get your thoughts / opinions on: Holidays / vacation, sick days, etc. in your job in the US compared to the UK (many Americans say its very bad), paying for healthcare vs NHS, police (if you've seen anything or had any interactions with them), in the US they say typically you have to drive everywhere - is that true, what about the gun culture - have you seen / noticed this at all?
Hi! @douglasmcclelland so in terms of paid time off you accumulate it as you work, you don’t automatically get it like I did when I worked in England. Which sucks but overall I still have more money in my pocket compared to England; including taking out health insurance which I pay nearly $1000 a month for. As of yet I haven’t had any experience with police and hopefully won’t 🤞🏼 but there are bad ones I’m sure, although I’m sure there are bad cops in England. Yes we do have to drive everywhere, you can’t Walk to the corner shop, although by distance you probably could however to my local store there’s roads with no sidewalk and obviously in Florida it’s hot. Hun culture is what it is. I personally believe with all the shootings it should be harder to get them, it’s at a point where people want them so they can defend themselves from the bad people that have them.
hi sweety great video i want to mention that i was in UK and US i live now in the north of UK which is more poor biggest think i notice is that in UK (in the north not london area) you can live good with a minimal wage now with my wife too both with minimal wage we live good car house everthing in US with a minimal wage you cant survive that was my expirience i love to visit US again if anyone thinks different or same let me know thanks
Thanks for your reply! I agree you can live in England on an ok wage. I was earning just above £22k per year which I could live on. But I realised I didn't want to just "live" or "survive" on my wage. I ddin't want to be forced to do overtime to be able to book a holiday/vacation etc. That's the biggest difference I have with living in the UK and US is I have no much more money left over compared to the UK to invest, save or buy something, I have more financial freedom which I'm so grateful for!!
The U.S. minimum wage law was passed in 2009 and never updated. It has nothing to do with anything. What you would be looking at is called the "entry level wage" for someone who does a "general labor" job. Each company sets their own wages. They give enough to barely live on. If you want to make a good living, you need a job skill of some kind.
Some great comments about your personal experiences. Have spent time in Florida and Arizona and certainly drivers are no way as aggressive as the UK! On the flip side the highways are not great!
Thank you David! I think you are the first to agree on the drivers aspect! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that lol! What did you think of Arizona compared to Florida? I enjoy visiting Arizona but have never stayed their for too long! 🙂
@@rosiealice6855 scenery in Arizona is awesome, loved Phoenix, clean, people great but a lot of faceless new homes! Florida in comparison is very green but so flat! Loved Florida too but the tourists....they must drive to you crazy!
Interesting to hear from someone who has moved out there what it's like! When we came earlier in the year we loved all the food options in the supermarkets but very little/ no vegan options in places like IHOP and cheesecake factory which was a shame, think the uk is a little ahead in that sense! But we loved wholefoods! I think I'd be the same, I'd miss the autumn leaves changing too and I do like winter but after Christmas it can get pretty depressing which is why we loved visiting florida in January!
Yes! There isn’t a huge amount of vegan food that we have come across in Florida. My hubby is from L.A and there is so much more healthier options over there. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s! 😍 January has perfect weather! I’m guessing the next time you come over you’ll gave a third little baby with you! 💕
I’m moving to Florida with my husbands job. I’m an RMN in the Uk but only RGNs can work there. I’d appreciate any advice on what I can do over there to avoid a career break.
How exciting! Yes only adult registered nurses from the UK will be accepted by the board of nursing unfortunately. I’m on Instagram if you want to direct message?
@@rosiealice6855hey what about uk certified physician associates? We are currently due to register under general medical council instead of royal collage of physicians! Would love to move our family to Naples from Lancashire
@@rosiealice6855 agreed Cuban food is missing (although when I went to Cuba I'd say the US version is much nicer than the authentic one!) and good Mexican food (outside of Mexico) is also sthg you only really get in the US but I'd say the Italian restaurants in London are better (at least in my experience having lived in London for 9 years now!)
Me too! My hubby is from California and when we go there the weather is always amazing! I would prefer to live in that climate than Florida’s.. although the earthquakes would scare me!!
@@rosiealice6855 lol you get used to it and I’ve only ever noticed one. Usually the worst thing that happens is a picture falls off the wall or other minor inconveniences. The wildfires in the summer are the worst though
If you want mostly sunny warm tropical weather then Florida would be a good choice for you. So would South Carolina and Georgia and a few other states.
@@3506Dodge LMAO. UK is a whole different world than the USA trust me. I live in Scotland & oh god. Comparing the two is you’d be mega excited to go on holiday to the USA but you wouldn’t be excited to go to UK as much. It is completely different. We have different laws, stricter gun laws & free healthcare & education over here and America doesn’t so it basically is. It’s a whole diff country.
@@elliejane6547 I lived in Kent for several years. It's not that different. Kazakstan is 'different'. Saudi Arabia is "different.' For Brits to describe the U.S. as another planet "out" there as if it's an alien world is silly.

If you established residency, you would need to apply for a license. BTW, our seasons are probably similar to the UK and many of us like to visit Florida to escape winter, especially as we get older.
Hi Robert! I believe that’s how driving tests are in Florida as I waited for my appointment in the parking lot and watched the young drivers take their exams. I’ve never been to Wisconsin! Do you recommend visiting or seeing anywhere in particular?
Hey Rosie! I’m a British gal in Florida, moved here a few months ago. I married my Floridian husband in October and we have no idea what to do in regards to immigration 😅 any advice?
People in LA know how to merge. You should be scared of driving in Houston though. It's like the chariot race scene in Ben Hur. Every day.
I’ve never been so thank you for the warning 😆😆
I have been there. My dad said that it is the only time he had ever felt scared riding in a car. 😅👍
I live in Northeast United States and we do not eat white gravy. We have a dozen different gravy in the Northeast including brown gravy, beef gravy, Hunters gravy, and mushroom gravy, onion gravy, chicken gravy, turkey gravy, pork gravy, ect ect. Many gravies in the Northeast would be more like European gravy's
Nurses in the United States get paid well, three of my nieces are nurses one of them gets paid over $100,000 the other two probably around $60,000
Idk if it was me but im convinced driving in UK and California was much more manageable than driving anywhere on East Coast of USA especially Florida/DC metros.
I'm an American who loves American food, diners, steakhouses, seafood restaurants, buffets. I also love European Foods and I really like British food. I'm a chef and I know how to make all-british foods, if you miss your British food then you should find a good British restaurant or you should cook yourself some British food. Beef Wellington and beef and kidney pie, and Sunday roast is not difficult to make.
It's a bit stupid to ask her which do you prefer when shes living there the correct question is have you met the crazy Florida man yet lol
Did you get your nursing degree in uk or usa ?
UK! 🙂
lovely video, need to get to the states permanentely within a year
Are you a nurse? If so I could help!
@@rosiealice6855 no rosie im a nerd :) thanks a lot though, cant wait to set up in the home of the brave , land of the free
Great video and insight my love thank you, I myself am moving to Miami from London for my beautiful American fiancé and as a born and bred Londoner and scaffolder that works hard im delighted you've found lots of opportunity out there and loving life ❤
Thank you! Wow that’s so exciting! When are you hoping to move here?! It’s definitely a different life out here as you’ll soon discover, totally different to coming out on holiday 😆
@@rosiealice6855 Hi Rosie thank you for the reply.... Well as it stands we're hoping for a romantic/ Scouting trip for a month around the may/June time ( or whenever this covid pandemic allows us to go lol ) first to see what's its like ( she's from portland oregon so it will be her first time there also ) but I already know we'll love it then we'll start the process of getting there for the end of the year hopefully.
I'm sure we'll both love it as we've already fallen in love with the idea and neither of us has even been there! 😂
Truly wonderful video you have so we'll definitely keep looking out for any new ones you do 😊❤💋
@@bobbycorbett3046 I hope you can both get together soon! I’m hoping the same for my family coming out from England too.
I’ve got plenty more to come 😄
For me probably the hardest was Floridian natural habitat, snakes and iguanas. That scared me to death! Never seen snakes and lizards like that in my life. Sometimes still very scared to walk out in the yard.
That’s the same for me. We don’t have these types of animals in England. Especially gators! I’ve seen so many snakes in our yard 😫. Where are you from originally??
@@rosiealice6855 I am from Latvia. Have never seen snakes or lizards in my home country.
Where’s your home country 😃 do you like living in Florida now? 🥰
@@rosiealice6855 I am from Latvia. We used to live in Key West, then St.Augustine. Now we are in state of Georgia. Which isn't that much different.
Welcome to the states. I hope you're well adjusted.
Do you find that there is a lot more overt religiosity in the states? I feel like that would be something a Brit would have to get used to; we don't typically discuss religious matters publicly. It would be regarded as a bit odd.
Very much so!! Hugely different in my opinion. Maybe it’s the state I’m in though?
Wow, I'm still young but in around 10 years I'll probably be moving to Florida, rn I live in England but I'm not quite from here but yeah- And I'm excited to see what Florida has! :D
Hey I just wanted to ask what your visa process was like as my fiancé lives in Florida and i am going to be going on the fiancé k-1 visa next year to be able to get married and hopefully move
Congratulations!! Feel free to email me and we can chat if you like! My emails in the description box 🥰
I’m going to be in your exact situation - I’m studying to be a nurse and my partner is in America and we are thinking of living in florida wanted to know if it’s good :)
Email me! Floridianlifestyle17@gmail.com
We have white gravy, brown gravy, chicken gravy, and turkey gravy.
And dozens of other gravy's
Gravey is meat specific
where did you live in england.. accent sounds the midlands
Yes! The midlands 🙂 Halesowen to be precise ☺️
I would love to marry a girl like her. I live in College park downtown Orlando and gotta start looking for a girl with an accent like hers to make fun of and flirt with. Too much fun!
That’s probably what my husband said and he just makes fun of how I pronounce things! There’s lots of Brit’s in Florida!! Find your girl! ☺️
@@rosiealice6855 never forget the God you are. I am sending energy your way!
sounds interesting i am coming to orlando on a business trip for 4 months good tips
How did you meet your husband? Please can you do more vlogs of your American lifestyle
I’ve never filmed a vlog! Would love to give it a go though!!
Also we met when I was on holiday/vacation here! I’ll try and do a video on it! 😃
You Brits? Interesting accent.....
I was thinking that. She sounds like an Aussie that's moved over.
Really?! 😳 haha. Definitely not LOL!
Not all British people sound the same, a lot of people think of British as London lol which I’m far from. It could be that I’m recording so naturally my voice changes a little. 😝
I’m originally from the UK, my experience is the standard of driving in the US is much worse than UK, poor lane discipline, people do not use turn signals and follow to close.
Wow I’m surprised. Having lived in England my whole live until 22 and living in Florida for nearly 5 years I feel Americans drive so much better. I think both countries have drivers that don’t use turn signals but haven’t noticed one more than the other. I feel much more safer driving out here but thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😄
@@rosiealice6855 I’m in Pennsylvania so maybe a bit different than where you are.
I would be curious to get your thoughts / opinions on: Holidays / vacation, sick days, etc. in your job in the US compared to the UK (many Americans say its very bad), paying for healthcare vs NHS, police (if you've seen anything or had any interactions with them), in the US they say typically you have to drive everywhere - is that true, what about the gun culture - have you seen / noticed this at all?
Hi! @douglasmcclelland so in terms of paid time off you accumulate it as you work, you don’t automatically get it like I did when I worked in England. Which sucks but overall I still have more money in my pocket compared to England; including taking out health insurance which I pay nearly $1000 a month for. As of yet I haven’t had any experience with police and hopefully won’t 🤞🏼 but there are bad ones I’m sure, although I’m sure there are bad cops in England. Yes we do have to drive everywhere, you can’t Walk to the corner shop, although by distance you probably could however to my local store there’s roads with no sidewalk and obviously in Florida it’s hot. Hun culture is what it is. I personally believe with all the shootings it should be harder to get them, it’s at a point where people want them so they can defend themselves from the bad people that have them.
If you live in a small town in the United States you can walk everywhere. If you live in the suburbs or the countryside then you need a car.
It is not Americans who say that our sick pay and vacation days are bad -- Europeans say that. Americans are satisfied with it.
hi sweety great video i want to mention that i was in UK and US i live now in the north of UK which is more poor biggest think i notice is that in UK (in the north not london area) you can live good with a minimal wage now with my wife too both with minimal wage we live good car house everthing in US with a minimal wage you cant survive that was my expirience i love to visit US again if anyone thinks different or same let me know thanks
Thanks for your reply! I agree you can live in England on an ok wage. I was earning just above £22k per year which I could live on. But I realised I didn't want to just "live" or "survive" on my wage. I ddin't want to be forced to do overtime to be able to book a holiday/vacation etc. That's the biggest difference I have with living in the UK and US is I have no much more money left over compared to the UK to invest, save or buy something, I have more financial freedom which I'm so grateful for!!
The U.S. minimum wage law was passed in 2009 and never updated. It has nothing to do with anything. What you would be looking at is called the "entry level wage" for someone who does a "general labor" job. Each company sets their own wages. They give enough to barely live on.
If you want to make a good living, you need a job skill of some kind.
Great video, thank you! I'm from New Jersey and now in London but I'm thinking of moving to Florida after living here for the past ten years.
Oh wow! What do you think of England as an American?? 😄
What visa did you have to go for and how did u go about getting it great video also 👍
Hey! I already had my green card as my husband is American. Sorry I can’t help with the visa aspect! Thanks! 🥰
Some great comments about your personal experiences. Have spent time in Florida and Arizona and certainly drivers are no way as aggressive as the UK! On the flip side the highways are not great!
Thank you David! I think you are the first to agree on the drivers aspect! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that lol! What did you think of Arizona compared to Florida? I enjoy visiting Arizona but have never stayed their for too long! 🙂
@@rosiealice6855 scenery in Arizona is awesome, loved Phoenix, clean, people great but a lot of faceless new homes! Florida in comparison is very green but so flat! Loved Florida too but the tourists....they must drive to you crazy!
Your too Americanised love
I know I hate it 🤣
Interesting to hear from someone who has moved out there what it's like! When we came earlier in the year we loved all the food options in the supermarkets but very little/ no vegan options in places like IHOP and cheesecake factory which was a shame, think the uk is a little ahead in that sense! But we loved wholefoods! I think I'd be the same, I'd miss the autumn leaves changing too and I do like winter but after Christmas it can get pretty depressing which is why we loved visiting florida in January!
Yes! There isn’t a huge amount of vegan food that we have come across in Florida. My hubby is from L.A and there is so much more healthier options over there. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s! 😍 January has perfect weather! I’m guessing the next time you come over you’ll gave a third little baby with you! 💕
Order the salad.
And fries.
That is really good information. Thank you for sharing 🌿💚
That’s so great to hear!! 💕
Con for me: my oldest friend is so far away 😭 Pro: I get fun holidays in Florida 😏
I’ll be saying that about you soon when you move away!! 💕
I’m moving to Florida with my husbands job. I’m an RMN in the Uk but only RGNs can work there. I’d appreciate any advice on what I can do over there to avoid a career break.
How exciting! Yes only adult registered nurses from the UK will be accepted by the board of nursing unfortunately. I’m on Instagram if you want to direct message?
@@rosiealice6855hey what about uk certified physician associates? We are currently due to register under general medical council instead of royal collage of physicians! Would love to move our family to Naples from Lancashire
Are there any mosquitoes and other creepy bugs , gators or snakes?
Yes, yes, yes and yes 😆. Snakes we find often in the garden but most are harmless. Thankfully we don’t have tarantulas like Texas 😳
@@rosiealice6855You will never see a tarantula in Texas. They are mostly from jungle areas like Colombia or Brazil.
Doing the same thing and this video got recommended! Thanks so much!
Another Brit in Florida?! 😄
I found this so interesting!! You’re so brave moving away 😂🙈
Glad you did! 😄 what you do for love 😆
Oh also love the way you say winter.. awesome!!! Wintaaaa
😂😂😆
London has all of the different cuisines as well probably more choices than Miami
I’ve been a few times but never found any Cuban or proper Mexican etc. I miss Wagamamas though!! I heard there’s one in NY!
@@rosiealice6855 agreed Cuban food is missing (although when I went to Cuba I'd say the US version is much nicer than the authentic one!) and good Mexican food (outside of Mexico) is also sthg you only really get in the US but I'd say the Italian restaurants in London are better (at least in my experience having lived in London for 9 years now!)
Yes I agree! The Olive Garden is 🤷🏻♀️ haha! Florid a feels like most fast food to be honest! 😫
@@sophiew8239 L.A. has authentic good Mexican food.
I prefer it here on the drier west coast. That humidity hit me like a truck when I went there in the summer
Me too! My hubby is from California and when we go there the weather is always amazing! I would prefer to live in that climate than Florida’s.. although the earthquakes would scare me!!
@@rosiealice6855 lol you get used to it and I’ve only ever noticed one. Usually the worst thing that happens is a picture falls off the wall or other minor inconveniences. The wildfires in the summer are the worst though
Yeah cause you held a valid license
What?
Liked your story of Florida😀😀
Thanks I think? I’m a little confused haha… 🤣
Thanks for the video, my dream is to move to florida I live in uk and I have had enough of the gloomy weather
I miss the seasons so much! Don’t take it for granted! 🤣
If you want mostly sunny warm tropical weather then Florida would be a good choice for you. So would South Carolina and Georgia and a few other states.
@samialsati8054 NO thanks we're full.
Why do Brits say "out" when they mention a place that isn't Britain? Why is Florida "out here"?
I’ve no idea 😆 I didn’t even realize I do that 😂
Cause she’s comparing the two. And she’s lived in Britain her whole life & now she’s living out there.
@@elliejane6547 "out there"? She's not living on Mars. It's the most important country on earth, the center of the world.
@@3506Dodge LMAO. UK is a whole different world than the USA trust me. I live in Scotland & oh god. Comparing the two is you’d be mega excited to go on holiday to the USA but you wouldn’t be excited to go to UK as much. It is completely different. We have different laws, stricter gun laws & free healthcare & education over here and America doesn’t so it basically is. It’s a whole diff country.
@@elliejane6547 I lived in Kent for several years. It's not that different. Kazakstan is 'different'. Saudi Arabia is "different.' For Brits to describe the U.S. as another planet "out" there as if it's an alien world is silly.
Hello Rosie... As a Indian I love British because of our long history.... I would like to ask you for long distance relationship... I find you beautiful...!! What you say?
forgot about the Amritsar massacre?
