You guys are the best. Honestly, thank you all so much for the kind words! I can't wait to show you our new place.
In the intro I made the mistake of saying "hundreds of thousands" instead of "hundreds and thousands", which is quite different!
In the UK, I was paying around £3.5K a year in tuition fees and as I'm from a low income family I was taking well over double this in maintenance loans - so as you can imagine, it adds up.
Tuition fees are now around £9K a year and architect's salaries have barely changed.
Students decide to take on this debt at 17...
Should I make a video on this?
yes plz
Yes please. Had the opportunity to pursue architecture after my construction course but decided not to after I learned that it would take me about 8 years to get fully qualified only to then be in an overcrowded and underpaid profession. I have actually done some small-scale design work for people since then which pays just fine as long as I don't claim to be a chartered architect 😅 The system is broken
Can’t wait!! Good luck with life abroad.
Do it!!
As someone who has done vocational training and also been to Uni, yes I do think you should.
The UK is depressing, I'd leave if I could
Do you have any grandparents born in an EU country? You can take their nationality and run like hell.
@@redguitar6062 so true. when i stack enough. going back to Albania. yes imagine, going back to Albania.
@@Jason-qx9hn I wish you luck, my friend!
Honestly it’s gone to shit over the last 15 years under the conservatives.
Just left Britain for southern Italy where my wife comes from. I don’t regret it for a second
Hope you are prepared for the ever increasing temperatures. 🥵
Should have taken me with you !
@@4274M4are you his wife?
@@georgesaint4417🤡🤡🤡
Find me a husband from Italy I ld be in 1st plane out
I would love to see a course on building design principles for an ordinary person. I am moving to France later in the year and buying an old house to renovate. I want to change the layout and alter the back of the roof to let more light in. I am meeting an architect in September when in France but I dread the bureaucracy involved. I am following you and interested to see what you do next. Good luck 👍
I second this. Simple design principles that can be taught to the general public can inspire thousands of different possibilities of what we can do.
Bonne chance pour ton projet ! In which region of France do you plan to move to ? Cheers from Paris :-)
@@raphaelbaudoin5635. Lot-Et-Garonne, I Hope to be there in October.
Welcome to France 😊
yes!!!
I've never heard of people coming to Vancouver for a cheaper lifestyle 😅. Welcome, I wish you and your family a wonderful fulfilling life here!
Thats so stupid to go from one expensive place to another one way more expensive.. and boring.. unbelivable )))
@@mybest2338 way more expensive? But he said that it‘s way more affordable for them this way than living in London oO
@@ftmint He didn't say "more" expensive, he said from one expensive place to another. Plus Vancouver has a shitty weather and it def isn't as lively as London. But whatever lol no judgement here. London is extremely expensive and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who makes less than 4k a month.
@@newleft2254 Canada/Vancouver is cheaper than England/London. Put it this way, I once paid £10 for one cup of coffee. 😂
@@Tom-pe4iw they also have $14 coffee in Vancouver 😂 I love how people underestimate how expensive Vancouver is
Left in 1988, went to Hong Kong to live, traveled far and wide. It was the best thing that I ever did. I still live there, I visit the UK for holidays only.
Congratulations on your move, Daniel! I'm interested in how a RUclipsr makes money and behind the scenes of how you create your videos from start to finish and what devices/programs you used in creating your videos. Also, I'm curious as to how you planned this move. Glad everything is working out for you and your family, and good sailing on your new adventures
Congratulations on your family’s new chapter. Would love to hear more about how you made your inventory. I made two for when I moved to Japan a few years back and it was so useful.
Canada is a little too cold for my tastes. I opted for Seville. But good luck to you Sir. The UK has become almost uninhabitable and admire you for taking the plunge and moving so far away.
He chose Vancouver, BC, which is the warmest part of Canada. In late February, it's 8C and a little rainy. Our coldest days of winter, we get a few days of 0C and some snow.
What do you do for work? Seville sounds like the dream 😂
@@MyFocusVaries I'd say that Victoria is a little warmer.
@@Mickyway Bad (very bad) food, depressing weather, cost of living, rubbish work-life balance, rubbish working conditions, service sector economy, few worker’s rights, anything fun like beer, cinema etc is a rip off and just generally boring.
@@Mickyway No, I never ate takeaways. Prices in the supermarket were becoming unaffordable. Good working conditions should be for everyone, not just those in the public sector. Getting a job shouldn’t be a game of Russian roulette. The UK isn’t worth the hassle. Also, infrastructure in general is 💩. Trains are unbearable and unaffordable.
What a wonderful opportunity for you and your family. I love watching everything you create, as I get closer to retirement and possibly downsizing my home this is truly interesting. I enjoy watchng a "real" journey including all the bumps in the road.
Good on ya, Daniel, and welcome to Canada. I came to Toronto from London 20-odd years ago. Vancouver is darned expensive by Canadian standards but what a beautiful place to raise your family. All the best and thanks for the interesting content.
Such a cool video. As a Canadian, Vancouver is always a place to aspire to live in because it is so unreachable to most due to its high living costs. It is interesting to see your perspective where Vancouver is considered a budget alternative to UK!
I don't think so!
Vancouver is definitely more expensive than the UK!
A lot of places in UK I suppose but certainly not London, also keep in mind, you may also get more for your money. A lot of Housing in the UK is just horrible. Bad heating and mold is common. @@Barnacl3_Boi
If you want to live in Vancouver proper its getting up there with London. It also has an insane drug and homeless problem that everyone there likes to brush under the carpet.Crime is on the rise and random stranger attacks. Its also cold socially compared with other cities. I was born there and lived there most of my life. I'm living in Montreal now. Getting tired of Canada honestly. Its so limited here and a limited way of thinking. Don't get me wrong , I love my country as I do my hometown.. but a lot has changed.
I lived in Richmond BC and both Richmond and more so VAN are absurdly unaffordable. Especially infeasible for people with a family of more than one child, as you may see eventually. It’s also a really unfriendly and overly surveillance and authoritarian place (like Canada generally). Hell no.
It’s been interesting watching your journey thus far…I’m sure that the best is yet to come. Good luck to you and your family Daniel.
Have come to love your content - hope you can design and create a lot more now. Looks like a great move!
didn't expected to see you here sir
Thanks so much man!
are maiya eh kya dhk liya?
Modi bhakt is here 😂
Didn't expect to see you here. You should delete this comment.
i like your humble and calm attitude, your sence for visual esthetics and of course your redesigns of rooms!
keep up doing what yo do.
Yes! We need more people like you! I love that you and your family made the decision to redesign your life to prioritize what really matters.
I actually find that this comes more easily to people such as yourself who are living a minimalist lifestyle, as you get very good at discerning what is needed and what is not. It might start with your physical space and belongings, but then trickles into all aspects of your life.
I’m in Calgary, but grew up in southern BC. Welcome to Canada, and I can’t wait to see things unfold in your new space. 🌲🌿🍁
Congratulations on your move to Canada, Daniel! I’m looking forward to see your new apartment and I would also love to hear more about the inventory you made.
Thank you for sharing so openly. Very brave of you to confront these issues so honestly. Good of you to share.
Congratulations. Really looking forward to where you take the channel next. Thank you for your honesty
Congratulations guys!!! Sounds like you are super excited about the change, which I am definitely sure that will translate into an even better channel
I'd like to hear more about your inventory and also keen for tutorials! Congratulations on the move! Sounds amazing!
Congratulations! Here's wishing you and your family all the very best in your new home. I'm looking forward to your new video content in Vancouver.
Wishing you and family the best in the next big adventure ... also trust your mum is doing well. Onward!
I cannot wait to see the future growth of you, your family, and this channel. Congratulations on taking the plunge!
Good luck in Vancouver, Daniel! Actually a very good friend from there moved to Tokyo and is now living here really close to where we live. I actually introduced him to Notion a while ago, and speaking of which, I'd love to hear more about your process around assessing and decluttering your belongings prior to the move. Maybe you can sell that Notion template? ;)
I wanna start using notion, just not sure about the security as it's not end-to-end encrypted? because I do write a lot more personal stuff on my notes probably passwords too! what do you guys think? is it safe?
I’m going to miss you visiting small London properties, and showcasing great architecture. Not sure if the Canadian equivalent will hit the same for someone who lives in the UK. Best of luck and look forward to seeing what’s to come👍🏻
Welcome to Vancouver!!! I introduced your channel to my husband and he loved them. 😆 He noticed your map of Vancouver and thought it would be so cool to have someone like you in Vancouver… and here you are! Very excited for you and your family!!!
congrats and can't wait to see what unfolds in this new chapter . Vancouver is awesome
Congrats Daniel! I'm so proud of you and your family. I used to live in Vancouver for ten years, and a fantastic city!
Congratulations on the move, hopefully it brings you much joy! Would love a video on compiling the inventory and the thought process behind it. I've done a similar thing for my wardrobe taking inspiration from your minimal living videos
Congratulations on your move! I'm excited to see what your new space will look like! I am sure it's going to be awesome!
I can't wait to see your new home and designs! I am also subscribing to Curiosity. Congrats to you and your family!
Good luck with the new chapter! Moving house, city, country and/or continent is always an exciting adventure.
Hey Daniel, I'd be keen to hear how RUclips life/job is like for you. I have been doing my 5 year uni degree while doing a YT channel on the side. Though uni is my number one priority I always wonder what if XD. I am keen to hear whatever content you have to deliver, just do the content that makes you happy/ you enjoy doing and it will be encouraging and entertaining to hear :) (can't wait to see the new apartment)
Welcome to Canada! You will love it here. Good luck with everything. Excited to know about your future endeavours.
looking forward to the new apartment videos! I've just installed the besta ikea storage system in white into my home office and I absolutely love it. I've had my eye on it since you showed them in your dining room. I thought about submitting my space for a makeover but I've been taking away a lot of notes from your redesigns. I love my space even more now. Thank you!!
You are amazing Daniel! Your video are so resourceful and so well made and you are such an inspiring guy. Wishing the best from New Zealand.
Great decision for moving away from London / UK and seeking for a life style you and your family wanna live in! Best of luck on your new chapter👍
I have a similar thought on living in Macau atm hahah, the architectural industry sucks here, very limited to no opportunities within the region, designers aren’t being treated or paid fairly either.
Good luck in your new place and with your plans and projects. I love your content and I've learned a lot from you. Take care!
All the very best with the new chapter looking forward to seeing more
Much happiness for you and your family, Daniel!!!
amazing news! Good luck with everything in Vancouver and I can't wait your design projects of the future apartment!
You flew over the pond! Oh man I hope you enjoy it! Would love to see yearly updates on how it’s all going
Good luck to you and your family. I love your channel and your communication style. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter.
I'm so excited for you guys! Me and my husband are moving to Vancouver as well by January 2023, so a more in depth video of the process would be super nice. Maybe sharing the notion template? ❤
Vancouver is insanely expensive... ))) never never go there
Excited for this new season for you, Daniel! Can't wait to see the content you make decorating your apartment.
I would be interested in the Notion set up you mentioned and how the financial work for you as a RUclipsr.
Thanks for telling us your story. I’m currently renovating a tiny studio in Melbourne Australia in the sport/art precinct while about to build a shed loft house in the country to replace my house destroyed by a storm! Your channel provides so much inspiration. Looking forward to this next chapter for both of us!!!
I’m really happy for you and your family on this new chapter of your life. I’ll miss the original flat from where you started as that’s how I found you.
Hi Daniel! My boyfriend and I recently moved in together and I've been watching your video religiously for ideas haha. Its so weird and I'm so surprised you are moving to our city! Very so welcome and good luck on everything! I'm also sooo surprised that Vancouver is considered "affordable" for you because it's still one of the most expensive places to live in the world. We looked at those high-rise apartments too and they were quite expensive for us. But then again, jobs right out of college don't pay alot i guess. Vancouver is heaven for asian food though!
What an adventure! Love love Vancouver! Excited to see the new content! Enjoy!
Absolutely can't wait to see those upcoming apartment-related videos, as well as anything related to organizing all your stuff!
I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment myself, and I definitely look forward to new and clever ideas regarding apartment design, decor and overall organization.
Cheers from Croatia! 😄✌
Exciting new start! I'm glad you get to enjoy her world now! I'm sure your content will just keep getting better and better!
Congrats on the move, Daniel! Hello from Brooklyn where space is also small and expensive which is why I love watching your channel. I’m excited for what’s ahead.
Congratulations on your move! Sounds like it's a really good decision for your family. My husband and I live in downtown Vancouver (across from the main library) and if you need any help or assistance, we'd be delighted help out.
im so happy for you. good luck for the future but dont go away and keep doing your amazing videos
Congratulations on the move, Daniel! I think you’ll love living in Vancouver. I’m excited for you and your family and I’m looking forward to all your future content post-move.
Congratulations on your move. I'm sure its been a busy few months of you! I'm looking forward to seeing your future content and what you do with your new apartment.
I do think that we are quite similar in many ways. Therefore I can relate to your videos. I somehow think I understand how you feel pretty well too. Anyway, I wish you all the luck you need with this huge step in your life and I think you’re really lucky to have your wife and the other way round too. Will continue to support your channel.
Daniel, I can see your excitement about this new place. I'm happy for you man. Respect for making a decision that works out better for you!
Welcome to Canada! Glad to have you and I hope you enjoy our open spaces!!!
You really inspire people do to great things ahead, Daniel. Can't wait for your collab videos and also your apartment and office set up. As me and my wife are also moving next week to New Zealand. Keep inspiring and will be looking forward. Cheers!
Oh my word! I am so happy for you guys!
May God continue to keep watch over you bro. God bless...
Buzzing for you guys, also looking forward to the content in the future now you have more free time! All the best in the future!
Congratulations!! Vancouver is one of my favorite cities! I look forward to your new adventures there.
What a surprise! Good luck on your new life in Vancouver!
The farewell to the apartment in London is really a bittersweet thing but I’m looking forward to see the videos of your new home and studio.
As a minimalist, I’m also interested in your Notion list of your belongings made for moving.
Keep on doing your amazing work! We'll keep on supporting you. Love from Cape Town
Wishing you continued success on your new journey for you and your family!! I’m 39 and Architecture if my one true love! I still plan to go back to university to continue but I find it hard to start. Anyways wishing you all the best! Can’t wait for your updates !
Beautiful family! Very happy for u guys
Very well done Daniel and family with your move! Hope it turns out for the best!
Best of luck in your new adventure, I for one will still be watching your tube videos. 🙌🏼
I’ve been following you since your first video. I’m looking forward for more content especially the design of your new home! Kudos to you man!
Hello from Cyprus Daniel and family. Bravo on the decision you both made. Takes faith, strength and courage. I love your videos especially because you are down to earth and give a lot of useful advise. We moved to Cyprus from Dubai and in the last two years moved to a small village for the same reasons you moved to Vancouver. Downsizing while renting was not that challenging, finding a permanent home for everything we decided to keep in a semi furnished house without wardrobes, however still is. You’ve helped me. Thank you.
Welcome to Canada! Looking forward to seeing how this effects your channel’s content! ❤️
Congratulations! You will love it there! I wish you all the best! It sounds like a reasonable decision. And there is no city more beautiful than Vancouver!
First and foremost, congratulations on your bold and and exciting move! I actually cried because I was so happy to hear that you and your family have moved into a better living situation! As a beginner RUclipsr, I would like to see information about your earnings, if you don't mind. I am also looking forward to seeing your new space and lifestyle! As always, thank you for producing outstanding content!
Congrats on the move and welcome to Canada! Vancouver and the surrounding area is just gorgeous. Emjoy!
Loved the video, I have to say that I'm not a huge watcher of your content, but whenever I find something interesting for me it's really really inspiring. I love this type of content that hinges around life decisions and working out creative solutions to the problems life throws at you. All the best, Daniel, and keep up the great work!
Hello Daniel. Welcome to Vancouver (my hometown). I've been following you for a couple years for your minimalist space design. I look forward to new content as you design your living space.
Sabine, what part of germany you came from before moving to Vancouver ?
Congratulations on your move! I’m moving internationally is a dream for many and a reality for few. Good luck to you and your family in Vancouver!
Will miss having you guys on this side of the pond, but can't wait to see the newly designed flat when you move in!
Sad to see you go but super excited to follow you on your new journey. Was really looking forward to stealing some ideas from your garden office design for my garden office !!
Have a lovely time in Canada, Daniel! Bless you, your daughter and your missus, hope you enjoy yourself in Vancouver
Good luck on the new journey in Vancouver! 😊🙌🏻 excited to see more content. 😊
Makes complete sense! We ditched London a couple of years ago and never looked back. We originally moved to Broadstairs, and would like like to move back there one day, but for now we're in Norfolk, 5 minutes walk from my parents. Our 2 year old loves seeing his grandparents.
And... we have an actual house.
nice choice,i love Vancouver
Welcome to Canada! I hope you will like it here. As an outside-the-box thinker you chose the right city to settle in. Will you consider licensing as an architect in BC? Your design and ergonomic sense are a perfect mix for helping people build backyard units--a growing business in urban centers in Canada.
I’m so happy that you and your family feel better in Vancouver! I was a little stressed out when I see the topic of the video…
I have no patience to see the new studio! 😍
Congratulations to your move to Vancouver Daniel! I hope you have a great experience there and more creative videos too! 🙂
I'm sad that London has become so out of reach, it's a fantastic city. I love your channel and the content, thanks for sharing this news and welcome to Canada.
I welcome the move and looking forward for the course on designing n hw u scale down everything in each room b4 making ur move
So excited for your new chapter!!
LOVE ❤️ watching your content. Find all the best angles in your new space while it is empty so we can see how you transform your own space.
I am very interested in seeing content on all of the topics that you mentioned. Welcome to Canada!
Congrats n your move. I thoroughly enjoy your content. They’re so motivating.
love that everything is thought through!!
I‘d love to see more about that inventory list and how you went about it! Sounds like an awesome idea imo!
Well. Can't wait to see your own home makeover and also the architect's redesign serie. This video was actually a REALLY good news since as a subscriber I love watching your videos
I'm so happy for you, can't wait to see what videos you are coming up with
Best wishes for you both!! Happy for you!! Congrats!
Really dig your content Daniel, I'm super jealous, I love Vancouver lived there when I first moved away from my home country, enjoy it!
as a fan of your channel and resident in Toronto. congrats on your move and welcome to Canada!!
