[@lg206]

It’s amazing how where in the world you are, a group of black women just feels like home

As someone strongly considering leaving the US for London, I loved this!!

[@PaigeMariah]

So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@allywelsh5761]

my partner and i met here in the US (im from miami and he’s from london) and i similarly was like “i’m done with dating apps. don’t with these guys.” but went on one last date bc it was already scheduled and met him ♡ now we’ll be moving into our first apartment together in london this september!

[@PaigeMariah]

Yesss I love it!

[@PinkIslandJewel]

How’s London life going so far?

[@career5690]

How is it going for you?

[@nongrockle]

I've been an expat in several countries, and find the closest friendships are always with other expats not necessarily from my home country, it's generally that these people have the same outlook and quest for new experiences. 4 Years in Switzerland, 6 years in France and 8 years in Ghana.

[@PaigeMariah]

So true!!

GREAT video and very interesting - as a Brit I really appreciate you’re being here because you enrich the fabric of our society - Americas loss is very much our gain 👌 - more please 🙏

[@kalamazoocitygirl]

Very good video. As an American in London for 20 years, most of my answers were different than all of yours. Looking forward to part two. :-)

[@PaigeMariah]

Thanks so much for watching Christina!!

[@murieljames4022]

That’s what I like about you Paige, you always know how to meet people. I know you’re future adventures are going to be awesome, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next. London will surely miss you but we are so excited to have you back!🇺🇸

Great video! I was having a bad day until I watched this video. Jessica from Chicago really cracks and had me laughed so hard when she called for someone to help her with air conditioning. I lived in England for several years, and when I once again heard someone say to Jessica on the phone: HI YA, I almost couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for making me laugh.

Hahah I think you’re referring to Brittany but that really was a great story!! 😆

I’m literally so grateful for this video , I have always wanted to live in London since I was a child. I’m feeling that vibe that it’s time for me to pivot again and this time out of the country. I’ve been praying on it and decided to check on KZbin to find other professional black women who also made this transition from the U.S to the UK . I’m currently a PhD student and trying to find a job in London hasn’t been easy . Do you have any tips that could help me ?! Any feedback from you ladies is appreciated!

[@tanishiahicks]

This was so good very eye opening, you picked a great group of friends to give us the real from all perspectives I really enjoyed this I can’t wait for part 2💕💕

[@PaigeMariah]

Awww so happy that you enjoyed it!! ☺️💗

[@daimaaustin5862]

Hi Paige, I have been following you since Covid and actually have my mom following you. We love you but I'm sad that your London adventure is coming to an end. With that being said, so any of your fabulous friends have KZbin channels? I'd love to continue hearing about their adventures but will still be tuning into your channel. You have been wonderful sharing your stories and life experiences. I have been to London several times and enjoy it. France is my main jam but London is very close. Good luck to you and I look forward to your USA adventures. Cheers

[@PaigeMariah]

Thank you so much for tuning in!! I believe Olamide will be starting a new channel but they are mainly on Instagram and TikTok. You can find links to their social media accounts in the description box 😊

[@daimaaustin5862]

Great video! It's so wonderful to see all of the beautiful ladies coming together. That is so cool to see the lovely community that you've created in London. I especially would love to hear more about the dating scene. I hope that Black British men are dating Black women.

Great video! How do you apply for jobs in the UK while living in the US? I would prefer to get a job first before moving.

[@PaigeMariah]

You would just have to search online and apply I assume! It’s definitely more difficult to secure a job here when you’re outside of the UK though

[@SassyveeSceneries]

@@PaigeMariah ok I appreciate the response

[@didyouknowamazingfacts2790]

I feel like that is a very female perspective of being turned off because a foreigner wanted to date you for being an American. I feel like most dudes would not be turned off because a girl wanted to date them because they are American.

[@cliffordelliston3444]

Don't forget paige they is other cities in England than London if people just visit London they will not see the rest of uk.

Hi Clifford, I’m sure people know that 😅 this video is focused on our experience living in London specifically

So what about London Research Salaries?

Also if possible can you tell me what site I need to go on to apply to the university there? Thank you kindly in advance ❤

[@kayfay7674]

It’s a “foreign thing”. American men only focus on your Britishness when you meet them.

[@rufdymond]

All Americans complain about the lack of AC lol…..I live in a pretty high end apartment which unusually for the U.K. does have AC. Guess what, in 4 years I’ve lived here I’ve never used it, probably no longer works. Might change in the future, but I really don’t think the weather is that hot here that we need it….plus that thing sucks power like crazy.

What about health insurance while you studied in school? How was that covered? Was it expensive because you were a foreigner or was it the same as what the British people receive?
