I'm so glad you are making positive changes for your mental health! And as someone who DESPERATELY wants to leavethe US I totally support your London adventure! Be blessed!
You don't need to apologize,you been busy and that is good. Just glad you are okay and you still love doing RUclips videos. Hope you day is great and if you ever wants to play a new game,play Pokemon unite
I feel so sad that Joey isn’t feeling like the queen. He’s been pumping out videos through out our entire life and what about him? He deserves everything he needs and wants and to see him struggle with life is so heartbreaking. Also Joey’s skin is literally 10/10. Joey if you’re reading, I use bond no 9 “nomad” cologne and it smells fruity but also cologne-ishy. They make another version of the bottle but with real crystals which is so expensive, don’t get that if you actually buy it because it’s a scam lol.
Please don't apologise for not posting. You have things going on in life and it is good to take a break. Also, it's really weird seeing you in London as I lived there for 20 years and now I am somewhere else but still in England.
Oh my gosh, I think of you as such an L.A. person I never thought you'd love a city because it's walkable and has good transit! Missed you but glad you're doing better. Take care of yourself, whatever that looks like.
Hey Joey! ATLA and Korra fan here - In my opinion, it was very good but the ending could have been better! It might help to know the backstory of what the creators went through while creating Korra. Nickelodeon kinda tossed the creators back and forth with "you're getting four seasons!" and in the middle of season 1, saying "you have to wrap it up. It's only getting 1 season." and after wrapping it up, announcing "actually, you're getting another season", and so forth. So, the creators had to do their best to write their seasons while also adjusting to Nickelodeon's changes. It took me a minute to grow on Korra's character during the first season, but it was refreshing to have a new and firey spirited character like Korra. Some examples: showing different weaknesses, their strong suits, and their ability to fight and protect as the Avatar. I'm excited to see what the creators come up with in the near future now that they're cooking some new content!
I’ve missed you - so glad to see your face! Fellow Taurus, I get the need for your own space, but you’re living your best life, and I’m so happy for you!
I feel your pain Joey! It's very easy to feel isolated. There are definitely cities in the US that are walkable. It's certainly not as many as in Europe or the UK, but they exist! I hear this complaint about LA a lot so it's definitely not in your head. Austin, Seattle, Nashville, Chicago, there are lots of major cities that get overlooked here. Hope you find someplace that makes you feel happier and more connected. Good luck!!
Updates on escape the night? The Fundraiser ended and we met a goal and haven’t heard anything since. Also maybe try finding a roommate? My sister had the same problem about feeling lonely when she moved away and it really helped her ❤
Glad to see you back, really miss seeing your blogs,also your animal rescues,and of course all your animals .love Hunter the best, come back home and start rescuing again ,thank you
Joey thank you for the life update. It seems you are enjoying London. You really have had a lot going on. As you said you are working on your life and getting your focus. Be patient with yourself.
I also love the fact that you can make something so simple like going to the shops and walking down the street so entertaining.. I've watched you for over 10 years and still love every video you make 🎉🎉
As a town planner, I am impressed by your urban sensibilities - it is a totally new side to you that didn’t come across previously. ❤ Thank you for the update, I am glad you are well. I hope you find the right spot for yourself. An older neighborhood in an older American city might offer some of the social liveliness and walkability too :)
I'm so glad you made a new video...I've missed you so much,my dear Joey and your dogs too and I'm looking forward to new fostering adventures...I wish to you Health and Personal Happiness...Many hugs and kisses from Greece,my dear!!!
I love your vlogs! You been missed! Glad to see you thriving in London! Hope we can see more day to day adventures while you are there ! Take care of yourself we will be here for you! 🫶🏻💕
Omg I'd love to see more vlogs in London! I live in Utah and there is also so little access to 3rd areas and I would love to live in a walkable city where I can interact with more people. I can't wait to see where this next adventure brings you!
I completely understand why you’re loving the culture and lifestyle in London. I have spent a total of 5 years in Europe and I loved it so much I plan on retiring out there and moving as soon as I finish school in a couple of years.
I was *just* thinking I miss you! You posted, like, a second later. ❤ Sounds like a good idea, to be away again in London. Your mental health is so important. No need to be sorry. Sending love and hope to you, to figuring things out. So happy for a new vlog. 💕🤗Looking forward to the next ones, when you're up for it. Will still be here. 💗
First of all thank you for making this video , joey your health is your wealth, you need to do what’s best for you , all of us followers will be waiting for you when you make your epic come back , I can’t wait to see your pets and foster pets when it’s right for you , you are an amazing person with a heart of gold take care am glad your ok
Nice to seeyou back joey.there are so many places in England to visit especially Cornwall where I am I love in the countryside with fields on one side and the sea on the other in a tiny little village. pure heaven.
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogsPlease don't forget Snowdonia and the Lake District. And OMG don't get me started on the crazy gorgeous villages in Wales, and the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Scottish Coast.❤
it's so interesting for me as a European to hear you talking about the comparison between the American and the European way of living, and that you resonate more with the lifestyle in London for so many reasons. Hoping you will figure out where you want to end up living eventually, genuinely wishing you all the best!! :)
It is your life. Enjoy your travels. It was wise of you to rent your house in LA. Maybe you could set up an apartment in your house to rent and rent to someone who could be your 😊😊 assistant for day to day things.
I'm sorry you've been in a bad way recently, and I'm glad to see that you're actively trying to make your life better! I hope you find a guy who is into fostering animals, and with whom you can make a happy home. I spent some time in London back when I was in college. I got my first work experience over several summers, and I remember fondly the "bookshelf" buildings, the buses and trains that took you EVERYWHERE, the corner stores and chip shops and all. This video brought back a lot of those memories. Thank you for that!
@@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923 it says it somewhere in that video I believe. But she went to someone else as she was very early in her pregnancy and Joey would’ve had her for a while, he was going away or something so the timing wouldn’t work out. (someone correct me if I’m wrong)
I think you'd love it here in Sydney! Especially near the beach. Expensive, but from what you were saying about third places, Australian's probably have 3/4/5 places! Take care of you boo x
Those houses outside seriously are so cute. But i do prefer a nature view personally c: Deciding whether or not to move is a tough decision. I guess the main question about London is how things would work out with your doggos and with fostering. The USA def has a lot of opportunities for fostering and you can go to states that are cheaper to live in and have cheaper housing, so you could get a nice yard for the pups. If you do really like the UK, even though London is fun and walkable, you might need to get a bit further out to find a place that could accommodate the doggos.
Oh take your time Joey! I get what you mean, I would like to travel places if I have the money. I like my home, but, there's days you want to go out and enjoy a different environment. I also wanted to go to London for a long time but that'll be a while, It seems beautiful from your specs of footage of it! Enjoy your time there and I'll be excited for the pup/cat videos. 🙂
It’s okay Joey! You don’t need to apologize 🙂. You have been busy with other stuff. Taking a break is a great thing to do. So you’ll be refreshed! And you have a life outside of RUclips. Just happy that you are doing okay 😁. Take your time with making RUclips videos. We all can wait.
Oh man! I can't tell you how much I resonate with this. I moved to Italy for work (temporarily) and the lifestyle is so different. In the U.S. myself and everyone I knew only focused on working and advancing careers, forgetting that's there's so much more to life. In italy, I have work, but the culture allows me to go for a promenade around town just because and just breathe the air. It's so hard to describe to people that haven't had that opportunity. Also, I've been to London and LOVE it also. 😅my first weekend there, I was already thinking about plans to get citizenship
Joey, you do what helps you feel better, and if that is London, go for it. We do miss your vlogs, but that is only because we miss you. Take care of yourself, and we will see you hopefully sooner than later.💕👍
I agree! He needs to do what's best for him! It was heartbreaking listening to him talk about being isolated in LA and how bad the vibes are. Unfortunately, it's everywhere in the U.S.
Whyyyyy?! Absolutely no reason anyone needs to apologize for taking a break or needing to take care of personal issues. Just take care of YOU and if people genuinely are fans and care, then they accept people are people and deserve time and space with no explanation given. ❤
I'm so happy to see you finding yourself. Definitely take advantage of the time you have now. Maybe check out some small towns in Colorado. Lots of them have walking distance places and dog friendly. I live right on the border and work in a Colorado town. I love it there. Anyway good seeing you!
OMG OMG, i'm loving this new content: England baby!!! First of all, Welcome back! You've been missed, and thank you for being transparent on mental health. As a digital nomad myself, it is a little challenging to balance between work and play, so I really appreciate you openly talk about this. I hear you on LA culture: people go in their car, go to the gym, go to erewhon, go home, and that's it. It's not just in LA, most cities in the states are like that, except NYC. NYC is more vibrant than any other cities here in the states. I'm curious what would you do next to your home, i mean inflation is not going down, that means mortgage rates are still absurdly high. Maybe you'll figure out next with buyers who offer the right price. I'm excited for the next contents on this channel. I think it's going to be exciting when you spend time in the UK/states. Cheers to you.
7:20 as a European expat living in the United States, I can totally relate to this! One of the loneliest countries/nations that I have ever lived in. As Joey says, culture, systems and infrastructure all feed into it. So sad, I hope it gets better!
Whether you choose LA or London you must do what makes you happy! I know it may not be the ideal situation but have you thought about having a roommate /boarder (at least temporarily)to help make your house feel more homey(less spacious). Hopefully you will find just the the right partner in the near future and you'll both be happy together! XOXO
I think maybe you’ve been stagnating for a while and not moving forward in the different aspects of your life. So taking action is a really good step forward for you. Glad to see you’re on a path of personal growth. Hopefully you’ll start to figure out what really makes you happy. In the meantime, have fun in London and enjoy all that London and travelling has to offer.
totally get it, Vegas is a mini LA minus the beautiful weather, nothing is walkable here and everyone is rude and crazy drivers, I love Europe but I do not like snow even though I live on a treed acre in Vegas (really rare) I love California like San Diego and Napa or even Tahoe (minus snow)
When you were talking about LA being isolating, I totally felt that. I live in Vancouver but it's the exact same vibes, I'm convinced it's just 'North American culture'. It's insanely hard to make friends and overall just cold vibes. Definitely took a toll on my mental health so I'm also tempted to move to Europe.
People are just shitty anymore tbh! It isn’t like earlier years when people actually knew and were even friends with their neighbors. No one just says a happy hello anymore or anything. Hell, people don’t even know who their neighbors are at all and they might have lived in there home for over 15 yrs. People don’t even look up form Their phones anymore to even take in all the beauty surrounding them, none the less another human person. This world has become cruel and cold, and very idk imaginary I guess. People live in phones not appreciating companionship or being physically social. So it’s very hard to actually put trust in a single soul. The only thing I trust is my dog. She loves me for real. I mean I love my family, but hell being family don’t even mean anything anymore I have seen families do shit to eachother even it’s disgusting! But much love to anyone who reads this hope you have healthy and happy life! ❤
Missed you Joey! Use this time as some breathing space. The right decision will come to you, but just stay in the moment and enjoy yourself. 🥰 While you are in the UK, you should come up to Edinburgh for a few days, you would love it. The U.K. is so small so it is so easy to travel around here!
Awh I miss these type of vlogs of yours! Just your every day to day life like you posted agessss ago!! Please continue your vlogs with your life in London! Xx
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogs You're so not! We just love to see and hear from you! So glad that you did this update. You have the sparkle back in your eyes. Please take us along and tell us about your life over there. 🫂 and 💙 from the Netherlands
Yas yas yas! I am an advocate for better urban design. Aka making walkable cities with great public transportation. I was literally clapping at your realization of how urban design can effect your mental health. If you wanna learn more about this check out strong towns, not just bikes and city nerd. City nerd makes great lists of best American cities based on these metrics. But I’d still choose London if I were you. Great job of putting yourself first. I knew you were burning out and struggling so I was happy you weren’t on for some time. Obviously we all missed you but your health is the most important thing. Glad to see you back but don’t jump back in full force. Keep taking care of yourself.
Joey! You make such a good point about third spaces! I would love it if you spoke more about the importance of third spaces on your platform. Especially for kids under 21, but even for adults. Perhaps even show us what you mean by going to such spaces and describing to us why it's so important to have third spaces within walking distance (or via public transportation) for our mental and physical health! 💖💖💖
No apology needed. You have your own life beyond RUclips & if you need to take time to take care of yourself, so be it. I understand mental health issues. I’m just happy you recognized the problem and did what you did. Much love and bright blessings!!!!
I hope to see more fostering:) I've been watching since Lark and her pups... Even before that tbh... Idk if it was Lark or Sakura who was your first foster but I was watching before your first foster basically
I’m also in a bouncing around and trying to find where I belong phase. It’s hard but also an adventure. I’m just trying to hold onto these crazy moments because they won’t last forever! Good to see you doing good Joey ❤❤
In elementary and middle school I always used to hate my curly hair and always wanted straight hair exactly like how ur old hair was and now you have curls!! It makes me want to give my younger self a big hug I’ve learned to love my curls bc people would kill to have them
Joey you're such a kind soul who will meet the nicest guy in the world 1 day and live your best life. Relationships are hard work and it can be crushing when they dont work out but thats because they arent the 1 and Mr Right will come along one day when you least expect him to. There are lots of dogs and cats needing rescued in the Uk so you could keep going with your fostering here as well. There are also such beautiful places out of London for you to see and maybe consider living for a bit which might suit your fostering life better if you decide to stay permanent, as a Scot I recommend Scotland of course 😊. Whatever you decide, just make sure it's a decision for you, based on whats best for you. Looking forward to more videos, wherever they are made. Love from Scotland x
So great to see you on here again! And welcome to London! I was on your channel literally yesterday to see if there were any updates. Have a great time and good luck figuring out your future.
I am so sorry been feeling depressed sad lately and don’t apologize it is important to take a break and force on you and get ur health back on track and you always come first no matter what hope you feel better soon LUV U Joey 🌈🩷💛🌺💛💙💜🩵
Omg hi from Hampshire South UK, so happy to see you back! I love love to know what happened to the last pregnant dog you fostered? The doberman girl? So glad to see your posting again! ❤
Oh my gosh, I just watched Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time after watching the new live-action version and I LOVED IT!!! My partner and I are also starting The Legend of Korra.
OMG I was just thinking about you today and how I haven’t seen a video in what feels like FOREVER! Please don’t quit RUclips Joey! We need you more than ever since Matt left! ❤
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling Joey, you always come first, never apologies for putting you first, I think you would love Glasgow Scotland :) if you took a couple of days trip there x
I’ve been watching your content for about a year now and you are such an amazing person by taking care of so many animals and do not need to apologise for focusing on yourself and not posting ❤ as long as your okay that’s all we care about and you should be able to post whenever you feel like it, thank you for all the care you’ve done for all of our world tho and I hope you feel heaps better soon 🥰❤️
Hi, I had wondered if you were ok so it's good to hear that you are over here and soothing your mind. Will you be travelling to any other places here or is it just London? Definitely miss seeing the pooches and the fostering but you and your beautiful soul need to do and be where is best for you. X
I'm so glad you came back on as I miss your vlogs. I understand mental health so doing something new is good for it. I look forward to the animals videos and you having fun with your friends. Have a great day.
Do the move! I can’t relate more with you! I have a house for a family of 4 and it’s just me and the dogs. I got laid off and I decided, now is the time to sell my house, downsize and move to another state/city. Taking that money and living and enjoying my life again ☺️. Yes, the housing market sucks everywhere, but meditate on it. The universe has your back and will answer and deliver. You will be SO much happier with whatever decision you go with ✨💜🙏
Don’t ever apologize Joey! Wherever you’re the happiest is where I want you to be! I completely understand why you needed a change of scenery, since covid and the breakup you haven’t really gone out that much and you’re interactions with humans were scarce. Without even meaning to do it, you isolated yourself from the world and like you said for Tauruses like us who thrive off of other people’s positive energies we need that!! I felt this exact same way after covid hit in 2020 and I spent a whole year away from people other than myself, my boyfriend, his brother and a handful of other people!! I love and support you wherever you are Joey, always & forever ❤
I have so many memories playing Hay Day with my dad when he was sick recently downloaded the app last year just for the memory started fresh I stopped playing after he passed in 2014. The app is going on around 2012.
I love that you found Bill’s! Such a great place! I really recommend you coming to visit Brighton; it’s only an hour from London and there’s the beach and pier, among other things. ❤
Hey Joey I don't Normally leave comments and if you don't read this it's fine. But I look up to you and don't have friends or family to talk to. I've been super depressed since my landlord informed me I have to move with my two babies 2 dogs a 3 cats in January(long story I won't share in ur comments) but i wanted to thank you for posting such amazing content I have read your first book. Then binge watched this channel and your main channel and it was literally the only thing that could make me smile and laugh after my mom passed away(march 18) I love your content alot but I really miss your daily or weekly vlogs and hopefully you can do them again someday soon. Would also love to see you write a tribute to your first book. I also grew up with a alcoholic mother. If you read this far thanks for hearing me out and I hope for nothing but the best for you. ❤
The flickering you see at 2:08 (at least what the camera sees) is a 50 cycle AC frequency. If you have a camera that’s setup for 60hz, it’ll show the 50hz flicker if you are in a country with a 50 cycle frequency or vice versa. Not sure why most countries use a 50hz/cycles frequency, but it’s just one of those things about going overseas. Yeah, I hear you about Los Angeles. Been there a few times over the years since I live in the Southern California area. Don’t mind going there for the day, but seem to get a better value for my time whenever I visit San Diego since I basically grew up there (mainly in north county). While San Diego may be a major city, has the friendliness and convenience of a small town. If I only had a choice between moving to Los Angeles or San Diego, for sure would choose San Diego.
No apologies necessary - so glad you're taking time to look after yourself. Wonderful to see you in London! If you have time, pop down to Dorset and the New Forest - some of the most beautiful walks you will ever take. Also, if you're here for 11th May, go find a Eurovision party to hang out at - it's Europe's Gay Olympics!
Great to see you, I hope you're doing better for some time off. And here in the UK! If you want to hit the South West , giimme a shout. There are plenty of animals needing love here too. 😊😍✌️🇬🇧
What a great view! And i love the wall of your bathrooms and also to see yr vlog in london. Its interesting when u said the public transport sys is grounding and u can be amongst people. I guess i get it, but i never thought of it much because i’ve always lived where there is public tpt. Its nice to know ur view as someone who live in a place with no public tpt :)
Wow, such changes to have to deal with! But being in London sounds wonderful. But without the puppies sounds terrible. Well, your life is changing and I know you’ll figure it all out. Love seeing you again. Keep in touch! ❤
Hi Joey, I've missed you and your vids. 😢 P.S. I also just finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I'm on the same episode your on, on The Legend of Korra. I hope you figure out your life and hope your mental health gets better Sending lots of love ❤️
There’s no need to apologise Joey! Every RUclipsr deserves a nice break when their mental health isn’t the best. We understand xx I hope your mental health heals more and you find the perfect guy for you since you deserve true love 💜
Not having a home base is really difficult. I'm glad you could travel and work on your mental health and I really hope it's helping. Joey it sounds like you may be ready to move on from California or at least the LA area. I know it's a lot to move and of course it has to make sense financially but maybe it's time to consider it. Perhaps you could could continue to rent your house and rent a smaller place in a different California area and see if you like it. Again it would have to make sense financially. You look wonderful and I know you'll find love again someday. Thanks for the update.
Joey you don't need to apologize. You do what you need to do for your mental health. The UK suits you, I can see you getting a big house with a garden (UK big house, not LA big house) in either outer london, Devon or Cornwall, bringing your dogs and Sakura with you and just living that british life for a few years.
I was literly thinking just last night. Hmmm i havent seen Joey in a while wondering if the youtube god took me off the subscriber list. Them poof there you are. Sooo glad to see you again and get your life update.
Glad to know all is well with you. I had no idea what happened. Welcome back to You Tube. You were truly missed. I love London. Although I have never visited, I just like the idea of it being my home in another life. ❤❤❤❤❤
So nice to hear from you Joey and you're looking well. Have you met up with other Brit RUclipsrs like Joel and Lia who are also transatlantic? If you decide to stay in the UK, Brighton might appeal - it's like London by the sea, but much cheaper and safer, and not too far from London
No worries, I totally understand where you coming from, I'm thinking like "gosh where are you joey, I missed your vlog". But Im glad you're okay, love to visit in London someday but if I were you should go to Edinburgh Scotland, its a favorite place to travel. Anyways, have a safe trip!
It seems like what you’re loving is city life. Public transportation, everything in walking distance, PEOPLE… Have you tried living in different cities stateside? The culture of the various cities here in the US from one to the other can be so different! Anyhow, love you no matter where you land.
How are you enjoying our Underground? I get lost in there every time I visit London as I can never remember which Line I need to start out from after arriving at London Waterloo 🤦🏻♀️
Will you come back, joey ? Take care of yourself first, and I understand what you go through, I will miss you. Whatever you decide to do or live, I will still support and watch you. I will just miss you with Wolfe, Storm, Moon, Sakura, and Hunter. 😢 xoxo, I still watch your old vlogs. I wish you well and happiness. ❤
Awe missed you Joey but I love you it’s ok I know sometimes you need to just focus on yourself and live life. ❤ I do miss you just vlogging whatever that’s how I started watching you back in 2012 but I do know it’s nice to just do your own thing without the camera constantly.😘
You should move wherever makes you happy! ❤ London is also my ultimate dream living location but it's just not financially feasible to move for me right now. I hope you'll be able to make a decison as to what you want and where you want to be, and of course where you feel best mentally! So important. Best of luck making these life decisons, Joey. I'll always be curious as to what you do next, regardless of any pauses in content. 🥰❤
fellow misplaced person here- I grew up in Illinois and always knew i would leave at least temporarily if not permanently. I personally still don't feel like I fit anywhere after 10+ years outside the USA🤣 but I have gotten used to it. I have a child now, and I just feel a lot more attachment to HER rather than a specific place. I think I could live ANYWHERE honestly. Go with the flow, enjoy experiences, see where it takes you..and NEVER stay somewhere you aren't feeling comfortable.
I can completely see you buying some land and starting a proper rescue center/ranch/farm thing. Be it england or america! If you did it in the UK there's less predators though so the animals could run more free 💕 including Sakura 💕 england loves you xxxxxx
I'm an older person and I started watching your videos for the pet fosters. I continue because you are a truly kind lovely person. I am glad you are doing well.
🙋♀️ so good to have a video from you! I'm glad you're doing your thing. I missed this video from a month ago because my mom was sick. So I'm in catch up mode. 😁
Thanks for all the love!
I'll always be here
I'm so glad you are making positive changes for your mental health! And as someone who DESPERATELY wants to leavethe US I totally support your London adventure! Be blessed!
What happened to the Doberman rescue
Is the Doberman OK give us an update of the Doberman please
Love the vlog! More vlogs!
You don't need to apologize,you been busy and that is good. Just glad you are okay and you still love doing RUclips videos. Hope you day is great and if you ever wants to play a new game,play Pokemon unite
Congratulations on 300!

Hey Joey! ATLA and Korra fan here - In my opinion, it was very good but the ending could have been better! It might help to know the backstory of what the creators went through while creating Korra. Nickelodeon kinda tossed the creators back and forth with "you're getting four seasons!" and in the middle of season 1, saying "you have to wrap it up.

It took me a minute to grow on Korra's character during the first season, but it was refreshing to have a new and firey spirited character like Korra. Some examples: showing different weaknesses, their strong suits, and their ability to fight and protect as the Avatar. I'm excited to see what the creators come up with in the near future now that they're cooking some new content!

Omg I'd love to see more vlogs in London! I live in Utah and there is also so little access to 3rd areas and I would love to live in a walkable city where I can interact with more people. I can't wait to see where this next adventure brings you!
I completely understand why you’re loving the culture and lifestyle in London. I have spent a total of 5 years in Europe and I loved it so much I plan on retiring out there and moving as soon as I finish school in a couple of years.
I was *just* thinking I miss you! You posted, like, a second later. ❤
Sounds like a good idea, to be away again in London. Your mental health is so important. No need to be sorry. Sending love and hope to you, to figuring things out. So happy for a new vlog. 💕🤗Looking forward to the next ones, when you're up for it. Will still be here. 💗
First of all thank you for making this video , joey your health is your wealth, you need to do what’s best for you , all of us followers will be waiting for you when you make your epic come back , I can’t wait to see your pets and foster pets when it’s right for you , you are an amazing person with a heart of gold take care am glad your ok
Nice to seeyou back joey.there are so many places in England to visit especially Cornwall where I am I love in the countryside with fields on one side and the sea on the other in a tiny little village. pure heaven.
LOVE CORNWALL
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogsPlease don't forget Snowdonia and the Lake District. And OMG don't get me started on the crazy gorgeous villages in Wales, and the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Scottish Coast.❤
Slay on the 70s vibe! Missed your videos. Glad you’re back
it's so interesting for me as a European to hear you talking about the comparison between the American and the European way of living, and that you resonate more with the lifestyle in London for so many reasons. Hoping you will figure out where you want to end up living eventually, genuinely wishing you all the best!! :)
It is your life. Enjoy your travels. It was wise of you to rent your house in LA. Maybe you could set up an apartment in your house to rent and rent to someone who could be your 😊😊 assistant for day to day things.
I'm sorry you've been in a bad way recently, and I'm glad to see that you're actively trying to make your life better! I hope you find a guy who is into fostering animals, and with whom you can make a happy home.
I spent some time in London back when I was in college. I got my first work experience over several summers, and I remember fondly the "bookshelf" buildings, the buses and trains that took you EVERYWHERE, the corner stores and chip shops and all. This video brought back a lot of those memories. Thank you for that!
Welcome back! I've missed the rescue dog vlogs!
they will be back soon!! I promise!
I missed what happened to the last little junkyard dog you rescued, did she have her puppies with you? @JoeyGraceffaVlogs
@@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923 it says it somewhere in that video I believe. But she went to someone else as she was very early in her pregnancy and Joey would’ve had her for a while, he was going away or something so the timing wouldn’t work out. (someone correct me if I’m wrong)
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogsexcellent news!
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogsMe,Too!!!
I think you'd love it here in Sydney! Especially near the beach. Expensive, but from what you were saying about third places, Australian's probably have 3/4/5 places! Take care of you boo x
Those houses outside seriously are so cute. But i do prefer a nature view personally c: Deciding whether or not to move is a tough decision. I guess the main question about London is how things would work out with your doggos and with fostering. The USA def has a lot of opportunities for fostering and you can go to states that are cheaper to live in and have cheaper housing, so you could get a nice yard for the pups. If you do really like the UK, even though London is fun and walkable, you might need to get a bit further out to find a place that could accommodate the doggos.
Oh take your time Joey! I get what you mean, I would like to travel places if I have the money. I like my home, but, there's days you want to go out and enjoy a different environment. I also wanted to go to London for a long time but that'll be a while, It seems beautiful from your specs of footage of it! Enjoy your time there and I'll be excited for the pup/cat videos. 🙂
It’s okay Joey! You don’t need to apologize 🙂. You have been busy with other stuff. Taking a break is a great thing to do. So you’ll be refreshed! And you have a life outside of RUclips. Just happy that you are doing okay 😁. Take your time with making RUclips videos. We all can wait.
Oh man! I can't tell you how much I resonate with this. I moved to Italy for work (temporarily) and the lifestyle is so different. In the U.S. myself and everyone I knew only focused on working and advancing careers, forgetting that's there's so much more to life. In italy, I have work, but the culture allows me to go for a promenade around town just because and just breathe the air. It's so hard to describe to people that haven't had that opportunity. Also, I've been to London and LOVE it also. 😅my first weekend there, I was already thinking about plans to get citizenship
Joey, you do what helps you feel better, and if that is London, go for it. We do miss your vlogs, but that is only because we miss you. Take care of yourself, and we will see you hopefully sooner than later.💕👍
London is insanely expensive though 💀
I agree! He needs to do what's best for him! It was heartbreaking listening to him talk about being isolated in LA and how bad the vibes are. Unfortunately, it's everywhere in the U.S.
Whyyyyy?! Absolutely no reason anyone needs to apologize for taking a break or needing to take care of personal issues. Just take care of YOU and if people genuinely are fans and care, then they accept people are people and deserve time and space with no explanation given. ❤
I'm so happy to see you finding yourself. Definitely take advantage of the time you have now. Maybe check out some small towns in Colorado. Lots of them have walking distance places and dog friendly. I live right on the border and work in a Colorado town. I love it there. Anyway good seeing you!
OMG OMG, i'm loving this new content: England baby!!!
First of all, Welcome back! You've been missed, and thank you for being transparent on mental health.
As a digital nomad myself, it is a little challenging to balance between work and play, so I really appreciate you openly talk about this.
I hear you on LA culture: people go in their car, go to the gym, go to erewhon, go home, and that's it. It's not just in LA, most cities in the states are like that, except NYC. NYC is more vibrant than any other cities here in the states.
I'm curious what would you do next to your home, i mean inflation is not going down, that means mortgage rates are still absurdly high. Maybe you'll figure out next with buyers who offer the right price.
I'm excited for the next contents on this channel. I think it's going to be exciting when you spend time in the UK/states. Cheers to you.
7:20 as a European expat living in the United States, I can totally relate to this! One of the loneliest countries/nations that I have ever lived in. As Joey says, culture, systems and infrastructure all feed into it. So sad, I hope it gets better!
Don’t you dare be sorry! I’m so proud of you for making a change! I totally get you about the isolated way the states feel right now. Do you, boo! ❤
So happy youre in london! i used to live so close to there !
its such a magical city!
Whether you choose LA or London you must do what makes you happy! I know it may not be the ideal situation but have you thought about having a roommate /boarder (at least temporarily)to help make your house feel more homey(less spacious). Hopefully you will find just the the right partner in the near future and you'll both be happy together! XOXO
I think maybe you’ve been stagnating for a while and not moving forward in the different aspects of your life. So taking action is a really good step forward for you. Glad to see you’re on a path of personal growth. Hopefully you’ll start to figure out what really makes you happy. In the meantime, have fun in London and enjoy all that London and travelling has to offer.
totally get it, Vegas is a mini LA minus the beautiful weather, nothing is walkable here and everyone is rude and crazy drivers, I love Europe but I do not like snow
even though I live on a treed acre in Vegas (really rare) I love California like San Diego and Napa or even Tahoe (minus snow)
When you were talking about LA being isolating, I totally felt that. I live in Vancouver but it's the exact same vibes, I'm convinced it's just 'North American culture'. It's insanely hard to make friends and overall just cold vibes. Definitely took a toll on my mental health so I'm also tempted to move to Europe.
The ONLY good thing about LA is the weather…..but you can find good weather other places
People are just shitty anymore tbh! It isn’t like earlier years when people actually knew and were even friends with their neighbors. No one just says a happy hello anymore or anything. Hell, people don’t even know who their neighbors are at all and they might have lived in there home for over 15 yrs. People don’t even look up form
Their phones anymore to even take in all the beauty surrounding them, none the less another human person. This world has become cruel and cold, and very idk imaginary I guess. People live in phones not appreciating companionship or being physically social. So it’s very hard to actually put trust in a single soul. The only thing I trust is my dog. She loves me for real. I mean I love my family, but hell being family don’t even mean anything anymore I have seen families do shit to eachother even it’s disgusting! But much love to anyone who reads this hope you have healthy and happy life! ❤
Missed you Joey! Use this time as some breathing space. The right decision will come to you, but just stay in the moment and enjoy yourself. 🥰 While you are in the UK, you should come up to Edinburgh for a few days, you would love it. The U.K. is so small so it is so easy to travel around here!
Awh I miss these type of vlogs of yours! Just your every day to day life like you posted agessss ago!! Please continue your vlogs with your life in London! Xx
I’d love to see more vlogs from London! Seems like you’re having a great time, so happy for you.
omg okay ill try! i feel like im so boring but maybe i need to get over that
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogsyou aren’t boring at all I would watch anything you posted!
@@JoeyGraceffaVlogs You're so not! We just love to see and hear from you! So glad that you did this update. You have the sparkle back in your eyes. Please take us along and tell us about your life over there. 🫂 and 💙 from the Netherlands
Yas yas yas! I am an advocate for better urban design. Aka making walkable cities with great public transportation. I was literally clapping at your realization of how urban design can effect your mental health. If you wanna learn more about this check out strong towns, not just bikes and city nerd. City nerd makes great lists of best American cities based on these metrics. But I’d still choose London if I were you.
Great job of putting yourself first. I knew you were burning out and struggling so I was happy you weren’t on for some time. Obviously we all missed you but your health is the most important thing. Glad to see you back but don’t jump back in full force. Keep taking care of yourself.
Joey! You make such a good point about third spaces! I would love it if you spoke more about the importance of third spaces on your platform. Especially for kids under 21, but even for adults. Perhaps even show us what you mean by going to such spaces and describing to us why it's so important to have third spaces within walking distance (or via public transportation) for our mental and physical health! 💖💖💖
No apology needed. You have your own life beyond RUclips & if you need to take time to take care of yourself, so be it. I understand mental health issues. I’m just happy you recognized the problem and did what you did. Much love and bright blessings!!!!
I hope to see more fostering:) I've been watching since Lark and her pups... Even before that tbh... Idk if it was Lark or Sakura who was your first foster but I was watching before your first foster basically
I'm so sorry you're going through a difficult time (as a fellow taurus, sames) but i'm glad you're trying new things, wishing you the best🫶
I’m also in a bouncing around and trying to find where I belong phase. It’s hard but also an adventure. I’m just trying to hold onto these crazy moments because they won’t last forever! Good to see you doing good Joey ❤❤
In elementary and middle school I always used to hate my curly hair and always wanted straight hair exactly like how ur old hair was and now you have curls!! It makes me want to give my younger self a big hug I’ve learned to love my curls bc people would kill to have them
Joey you're such a kind soul who will meet the nicest guy in the world 1 day and live your best life. Relationships are hard work and it can be crushing when they dont work out but thats because they arent the 1 and Mr Right will come along one day when you least expect him to. There are lots of dogs and cats needing rescued in the Uk so you could keep going with your fostering here as well. There are also such beautiful places out of London for you to see and maybe consider living for a bit which might suit your fostering life better if you decide to stay permanent, as a Scot I recommend Scotland of course 😊. Whatever you decide, just make sure it's a decision for you, based on whats best for you. Looking forward to more videos, wherever they are made. Love from Scotland x
So great to see you on here again! And welcome to London! I was on your channel literally yesterday to see if there were any updates. Have a great time and good luck figuring out your future.
Loved the little London part so much 🥹 move move move! Bring the animals!
I am so sorry been feeling depressed sad lately and don’t apologize it is important to take a break and force on you and get ur health back on track and you always come first no matter what hope you feel better soon LUV U Joey 🌈🩷💛🌺💛💙💜🩵
Omg hi from Hampshire South UK, so happy to see you back! I love love to know what happened to the last pregnant dog you fostered? The doberman girl? So glad to see your posting again! ❤
Oh my gosh, I just watched Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time after watching the new live-action version and I LOVED IT!!! My partner and I are also starting The Legend of Korra.
OMG I was just thinking about you today and how I haven’t seen a video in what feels like FOREVER! Please don’t quit RUclips Joey! We need you more than ever since Matt left! ❤
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling Joey, you always come first, never apologies for putting you first, I think you would love Glasgow Scotland :) if you took a couple of days trip there x
I’ve been watching your content for about a year now and you are such an amazing person by taking care of so many animals and do not need to apologise for focusing on yourself and not posting ❤ as long as your okay that’s all we care about and you should be able to post whenever you feel like it, thank you for all the care you’ve done for all of our world tho and I hope you feel heaps better soon 🥰❤️
Hi, I had wondered if you were ok so it's good to hear that you are over here and soothing your mind. Will you be travelling to any other places here or is it just London? Definitely miss seeing the pooches and the fostering but you and your beautiful soul need to do and be where is best for you. X
I'm so glad you came back on as I miss your vlogs. I understand mental health so doing something new is good for it. I look forward to the animals videos and you having fun with your friends. Have a great day.
Do the move! I can’t relate more with you! I have a house for a family of 4 and it’s just me and the dogs. I got laid off and I decided, now is the time to sell my house, downsize and move to another state/city. Taking that money and living and enjoying my life again ☺️. Yes, the housing market sucks everywhere, but meditate on it. The universe has your back and will answer and deliver. You will be SO much happier with whatever decision you go with ✨💜🙏
if you are going to stay in UK travel around 4 countries BC we have alot of culture that isn't London
Don’t ever apologize Joey! Wherever you’re the happiest is where I want you to be!
I completely understand why you needed a change of scenery, since covid and the breakup you haven’t really gone out that much and you’re interactions with humans were scarce. Without even meaning to do it, you isolated yourself from the world and like you said for Tauruses like us who thrive off of other people’s positive energies we need that!! I felt this exact same way after covid hit in 2020 and I spent a whole year away from people other than myself, my boyfriend, his brother and a handful of other people!! I love and support you wherever you are Joey, always & forever ❤
I have so many memories playing Hay Day with my dad when he was sick recently downloaded the app last year just for the memory started fresh I stopped playing after he passed in 2014. The app is going on around 2012.
I love that you found Bill’s! Such a great place!
I really recommend you coming to visit Brighton; it’s only an hour from London and there’s the beach and pier, among other things. ❤
No don't go to Brighton it's full of arty leftie loonies. I live near and avoid it like the plague.
Hey Joey I don't Normally leave comments and if you don't read this it's fine. But I look up to you and don't have friends or family to talk to. I've been super depressed since my landlord informed me I have to move with my two babies 2 dogs a 3 cats in January(long story I won't share in ur comments) but i wanted to thank you for posting such amazing content I have read your first book. Then binge watched this channel and your main channel and it was literally the only thing that could make me smile and laugh after my mom passed away(march 18) I love your content alot but I really miss your daily or weekly vlogs and hopefully you can do them again someday soon. Would also love to see you write a tribute to your first book. I also grew up with a alcoholic mother. If you read this far thanks for hearing me out and I hope for nothing but the best for you. ❤
The flickering you see at 2:08 (at least what the camera sees) is a 50 cycle AC frequency. If you have a camera that’s setup for 60hz, it’ll show the 50hz flicker if you are in a country with a 50 cycle frequency or vice versa. Not sure why most countries use a 50hz/cycles frequency, but it’s just one of those things about going overseas.
Yeah, I hear you about Los Angeles. Been there a few times over the years since I live in the Southern California area. Don’t mind going there for the day, but seem to get a better value for my time whenever I visit San Diego since I basically grew up there (mainly in north county). While San Diego may be a major city, has the friendliness and convenience of a small town.
If I only had a choice between moving to Los Angeles or San Diego, for sure would choose San Diego.
No apologies necessary - so glad you're taking time to look after yourself. Wonderful to see you in London! If you have time, pop down to Dorset and the New Forest - some of the most beautiful walks you will ever take. Also, if you're here for 11th May, go find a Eurovision party to hang out at - it's Europe's Gay Olympics!
Great to see you, I hope you're doing better for some time off. And here in the UK! If you want to hit the South West , giimme a shout. There are plenty of animals needing love here too. 😊😍✌️🇬🇧
Another South West girlie here and can confirm it's great in this neck of the woods ❤
What a great view! And i love the wall of your bathrooms and also to see yr vlog in london.
Its interesting when u said the public transport sys is grounding and u can be amongst people. I guess i get it, but i never thought of it much because i’ve always lived where there is public tpt. Its nice to know ur view as someone who live in a place with no public tpt :)
Wow, such changes to have to deal with! But being in London sounds wonderful. But without the puppies sounds terrible. Well, your life is changing and I know you’ll figure it all out. Love seeing you again. Keep in touch! ❤
Hi Joey, I've missed you and your vids. 😢
P.S. I also just finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I'm on the same episode your on, on The Legend of Korra.
I hope you figure out your life and hope your mental health gets better
Sending lots of love ❤️
thank youuuu omg what do you think of Kora?
Why do i absolutely love that the kitchen/living/dinning is all upstairs. So cool.
There’s no need to apologise Joey! Every RUclipsr deserves a nice break when their mental health isn’t the best. We understand xx I hope your mental health heals more and you find the perfect guy for you since you deserve true love 💜
Not having a home base is really difficult. I'm glad you could travel and work on your mental health and I really hope it's helping. Joey it sounds like you may be ready to move on from California or at least the LA area. I know it's a lot to move and of course it has to make sense financially but maybe it's time to consider it. Perhaps you could could continue to rent your house and rent a smaller place in a different California area and see if you like it. Again it would have to make sense financially. You look wonderful and I know you'll find love again someday. Thanks for the update.
NYC is similar to what you're talking about in terms of London culture/3rd spaces/public transit! And you could bring the dogs. :)
Joey you don't need to apologize. You do what you need to do for your mental health. The UK suits you, I can see you getting a big house with a garden (UK big house, not LA big house) in either outer london, Devon or Cornwall, bringing your dogs and Sakura with you and just living that british life for a few years.
I was literly thinking just last night. Hmmm i havent seen Joey in a while wondering if the youtube god took me off the subscriber list. Them poof there you are. Sooo glad to see you again and get your life update.
Glad to know all is well with you. I had no idea what happened. Welcome back to You Tube. You were truly missed. I love London. Although I have never visited, I just like the idea of it being my home in another life. ❤❤❤❤❤
So nice to hear from you Joey and you're looking well. Have you met up with other Brit RUclipsrs like Joel and Lia who are also transatlantic? If you decide to stay in the UK, Brighton might appeal - it's like London by the sea, but much cheaper and safer, and not too far from London
No don't go to Brighton. Horrible place. It's a dump.
No worries, I totally understand where you coming from, I'm thinking like "gosh where are you joey, I missed your vlog". But Im glad you're okay, love to visit in London someday but if I were you should go to Edinburgh Scotland, its a favorite place to travel. Anyways, have a safe trip!
Omg that house looks so cozy 😍 also welcome back i've missed your videos!!
Good to see you, Joey. Of course I'm still here ❤Pls don't apologize, things happens, life happens, work happens. Love you always.
It seems like what you’re loving is city life. Public transportation, everything in walking distance, PEOPLE… Have you tried living in different cities stateside? The culture of the various cities here in the US from one to the other can be so different! Anyhow, love you no matter where you land.
How are you enjoying our Underground? I get lost in there every time I visit London as I can never remember which Line I need to start out from after arriving at London Waterloo 🤦🏻♀️
haha i use my phone to navigate it!
Will you come back, joey ? Take care of yourself first, and I understand what you go through, I will miss you. Whatever you decide to do or live, I will still support and watch you. I will just miss you with Wolfe, Storm, Moon, Sakura, and Hunter. 😢 xoxo, I still watch your old vlogs. I wish you well and happiness. ❤
Joey I live in the UK (about 40 minutes from London), I think you would LOVE Brighton. x
Awe missed you Joey but I love you it’s ok I know sometimes you need to just focus on yourself and live life. ❤ I do miss you just vlogging whatever that’s how I started watching you back in 2012 but I do know it’s nice to just do your own thing without the camera constantly.😘
You should move wherever makes you happy! ❤ London is also my ultimate dream living location but it's just not financially feasible to move for me right now. I hope you'll be able to make a decison as to what you want and where you want to be, and of course where you feel best mentally! So important. Best of luck making these life decisons, Joey. I'll always be curious as to what you do next, regardless of any pauses in content. 🥰❤
Do not be sorry!! You deserve a break !!
thank you! ill be fully charged for a giant litter of pups!
Move to Salem, Mass..you’d love it.
Thank you Joey for the update! So glad you are looking after you. Love and blessings to you xx
That’s a white blossom tree. All the blossoms are out at the moment, they will all be gone in a few weeks time
fellow misplaced person here- I grew up in Illinois and always knew i would leave at least temporarily if not permanently. I personally still don't feel like I fit anywhere after 10+ years outside the USA🤣 but I have gotten used to it. I have a child now, and I just feel a lot more attachment to HER rather than a specific place. I think I could live ANYWHERE honestly. Go with the flow, enjoy experiences, see where it takes you..and NEVER stay somewhere you aren't feeling comfortable.
I can completely see you buying some land and starting a proper rescue center/ranch/farm thing. Be it england or america! If you did it in the UK there's less predators though so the animals could run more free 💕 including Sakura 💕 england loves you xxxxxx
I'm an older person and I started watching your videos for the pet fosters. I continue because you are a truly kind lovely person. I am glad you are doing well.
🙋♀️ so good to have a video from you! I'm glad you're doing your thing. I missed this video from a month ago because my mom was sick. So I'm in catch up mode. 😁
I’m happy you are taking care of yourself! Stay safe!
