I love the fact you stood your principal grounds and made owner pay for repairs. Most would simply give in. Goodluck with your future endeavours. Please share any link for Balouchistan tourism if you have any. I love driving and would love to explore.

[@AngelaCarson]

Thank you. My channel has 37 Balochistan videos, including travel guides. Just type in the area of Balochistan you want to visit in "search" on my channel to see them all or click this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL88xCnJRARRnzCv7hACMQJPcaPNWZi0tW

Thank you for sharing your rare experience in Pakistan. CIA? Hope that you will find the most effective solutions to overcome your challenges. Have a great week ahead.

[@AngelaCarson]

Thank you, I'm so glad I can share a real-life experience like this and not fear being deported haha 🙏🏼 It's all worked out, I hope. Very happy in this new apartment

[@Yasin_Affandi]

​@@AngelaCarsonGlad to hear that you managed the situation very well. 😀

[@fnjr578]

Hi Angela, this is Faiza from islamabad and I've been your subscriber since 2020.Im glad u had a good experience moving to Isb.I liked ur msg in the end that only women of Pakistan can bring a change in this patriarchal society.

[@AngelaCarson]

I appreciate that ... should have put that at the beginning instead of the end :-(

[@jajapani]

If i remember correctly, i saw your video a year and half ago when you were undecided if you wanted to go back to Malaysia or not. im happy to see you still in Pakistan. Thanks for your trust in Pakistan. i hope you enjoy your stay and make great videos about the country.

[@AngelaCarson]

Ohhhhhh thanks, yeah that was 2021 and I DID go back for exactly 2 years to Malaysia. I explain in the video all the rest and why I was in Islamabad since Feb 2024.

[@alisaiem5941]

Banger of a view! Hope Karachi treats you well. Good luck and thank you for all you do.

[@AngelaCarson]

Thanks! I'm trying to stay optimistic though this process.

[@vlogswithrehan1446]

Hi Angela im truly sorry to hear you had to go through all that hassle trying to rent an accommodation they weren't honest nor helpful.also the struggle you hav faced trying to do your business i really hope you make it a success

[@AngelaCarson]

Thank you so much! Yeah me too. I still believe in everything I'm doing with tours to Balochistan ... now just need the world to see it too and come explore that pretty part of Pakistan.

[@vlogswithrehan1446]

@AngelaCarson appreciate your efforts best wish's

[@Pasha-z7p]

Wow glad Angela actually was able to relocate to Pakistan, remember few years ago her very good, videos showing her trips to Pakistan. Karachi similar to Mumbai is ideal, well planned city, easy to navigate.

[@Hayan-eq7os]

Karachi is not similar because in Mumbai very much greenry

[@tqhussain]

It’s good to see you cross the hurdles and carry on with your objectives. Wishing you the best!

[@AngelaCarson]

Thank you so much! Was so stressful and scary but ... I knew that wasn't right. Appreciate you

[@Jan.99]

It's truly disheartening to hear about the challenges you faced with renting and maintaining the apartment. It's unfortunate that some individuals prioritize greed and materialism over facilitating others. Their actions undoubtedly tarnish their country's reputation. On a brighter note, I'm thrilled to hear you've settled in Karachi. Your contributions to the tourism sector are invaluable, and I appreciate your efforts. I'm planning to visit Karachi soon and would love to catch up with you over a cup of coffee, if you're available.

[@AngelaCarson]

I appreciate your kind words, thank you.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Happy new year angela, love from malaysia

[@AngelaCarson]

Happy new year to you too! 🙏🏼 Ahhhhhh I miss a lot about Malaysia, hope all is wonderful there for you

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@AngelaCarson what prompted you to stay in pakistan?

[@Dr.AsadJavaidKhan]

Hi , I felt really bad what you went through. You have done a big favour for Pakistan . Government should give you all the facilities which you require. There are really nice people who will admire your services for Pakistan, and they'll help you . Our support is with you always

[@AngelaCarson]

I’m not sure about that (struggling to get business really launched here still), but it’s great to hear people are supportive. Thank youuuu

[@HT77892]

Hi I just stumbled across your yt channel. Im from the uk 4th generation my family origins are from Kashmir and I must say I want to leave the uk after watching your videos your lucky❤

[@AngelaCarson]

Thank you so much 😊 Truly, you put a huge smile on my face. Always makes me happy to share how I see Pakistan (especially Balochistan) as I do see it with a different perspective to someone living here their whole life. But that's the same in any country. I don't see the USA as a great place to live but others really do.

[@HT77892]

@ have you been to Kashmir?

[@AngelaCarson]

Yes, spent a week road tripping in 2021

[@HT77892]

@@AngelaCarson Thats nice last time i was in pk or kashmir was 2011 a long time ago but the uk is finshed alot of ppl left in 2024 and more this yr

[@Dr.AsadJavaidKhan]

Hi , whatever you have said is absolutely true it's very difficult to do something good in Pakistan mainly because of corruption and injustice, I run a ngo and do free eye surgeries in sind you can't believe what I went through. I am a surgeon and want that poor people should get good free surgery but just to deliver that I had to go through hell. I know you are trying to bring a good change, but the road ahead is pretty bumpy .

[@AngelaCarson]

I'm sorry to hear about your challenges, that has to be truly frustrating when all you want to do is good for the community....

[@faisalahmed6482]

Hoping for you to have the best of the times Miss. 🤲🙏

[@Zainmirza]

Hey Angela! Which spa do you recommend in karachi as a foreigner?

[@AngelaCarson]

Just moved here, don't have curtains yet .... haven't had time to visit spas ;-)

[@Zainmirza]

@AngelaCarson i am so sorry for being so impolite! Hope you get adjusted well and soon! Will visit in May.

[@AngelaCarson]

haha not impolite, just ... I have no idea :-)

[@Zainmirza]

@@AngelaCarson i remember your video that you made in Florida where you reviewed “a spa”. Anyhoo - i am planning my trip based on your videos.

[@AngelaCarson]

@@Zainmirza Nope, not me -- wrong person. I've only been to Florida 1x and I reviewed a very fun drag queen show at Proud Mary's but took video down + I shared a video with my Mom of a really weird but fun Xmas parade with us drinking alcohol from 10am onward. Wrong person, I've never reviewed a spa in the USA, only about 150 in Asia but always in hotels or resorts.

[@uzairasad8907]

I am from Pakistan and I never rent outside AirBnB because of these issues being so common. It takes up much more money in lost time.

[@AngelaCarson]

I'm guessing you're not staying for 2 years?

[@uzairasad8907]

@@AngelaCarson Well, it's been a little over 1 year and I think it was the best decision. I do not have to worry about any electricity bills, furniture or maintenance. I use the monthly stays section on airbnb and it is discounted compared to daily stays, and a pro tip is to further negotiate on chat if going for long term monthly stays to get further discounted rate, which almost always works.

[@AngelaCarson]

I'm not travelling, I started a company and am settling in permanently and setting up a home. But glad you found your short term rental solution, sounds great.

[@abdulrasheedphulpoto5957]

Angela keep the good work up..❤

[@ateebali7371]

Hi Angela how are you ? Nice to see you in Pakistan again looks like you had quite an adventure but I'm glad you sorted it out well that's all part of life it can happen to anyone at any place and at anytime believe me I have been through worst ..seem to me you got little throat issue ...take about 500ml water put little 1.green tea leaves ...2.Cinnamon sticks 3 few cloves 4.and little piece of ginger boil for about 5 minutes and drink that tea about 3 times a day your throat issues will be resolved within 2 days and the tastes good too ..take care ..

[@Dr_Mohsin_Sattar]

have you rented in Emaar properties by the seaside? hope you will have a wonderful time in Karachi.

[@AngelaCarson]

yes, thank you :-)

U r a strong woman but still if u need anything plz don’t hesitate to ask..wud lov to b of any help…😊secondly ur views bout us Pakistani women is a bit wrong..u will with time see th underlying powers th women have here..obviously we cant generalize but majority are th actual heads of their households…hope my beautiful bustling Karachi treats u with all th love and respect u deserve as our guest…tons lov.

[@AngelaCarson]

I have NEVER spoken about Pakistani women so I'm sorry but your views are "a bit wrong". Please don't put words in my mouth. You won't find anywhere I have written or said anything about the behaviour of Pakistani women. Stop please.

[@Venom47971]

U doing great job Ma'm ❣️

[@immdaad]

What is the rent of this appartment?

[@AngelaCarson]

I say in the video it's the normal average 2 bedroom rent, they are all around the same for unfurnished. Sorry not wishing to disclose exact details publicly.

[@sairapaul9013]

Thanks for sharing your bad experience Angela. I'm surprised you didn't experience this kind of discrimination in islamabad or other cities of pakistan in your earlier stays. But that is the sad reality of women here,regardless of her standing in society. Educated or nor wealthy or not. Sadder is that women here are too cosy in their own worlds run by men and financed by men. They don't want to disturb their status quo. Husbands are their strength against a society which is run by men and for the men. You've experienced first hand just how tough it is to manage the smallest of things without a man's support. Funnily it is the men who resort to unsocial behaviour not women and yet women are unable to rent if they are single. However hats off to you for sticking to your stance. You are indeed quite brave to come to this country without a man. Nothing will change unless women speak up but they why would they rock their cushy financial boat. Please do share your karachi experience with us.

[@AngelaCarson]

I appreciate all of that and thank you for adding to the conversation. Women have DM'd me with similar thoughts on "how change will only come" and I hope one day the women do rally together and take a step forward for equality. I can bypass the system here as a foreigner but I understand the pressure women are under to not shame their families or raise eyebrows by neighbours. A lot of pressure is put on women here that cripples their own freedom and choice for how to be happy / live happily

[@aarishkhan4382]

Pakistanis want to go to USA and you being a US citizen came to live here. World is a strange place 😁

[@AngelaCarson]

I moved away from USA as fast as I could at 21. Mexico first, then 12 years Barcelona, Spain, then India ... now Asia since 2011 :-) No idea what people find so interesting about the USA aside from an amazing place to holiday :-)

[@AA-qk1nf]

​@@AngelaCarsonAttraction is mostly for Third Worlders. It is indeed a land of opportunity and welcomes people of all ethnicities and allows people to succeed through hard work. However, it is a lonely, work-oriented, existence where all you friends, family, favorite restaurants, malls and halal grocery stores are always "45" minutes away.

[@dgurmani]

​@AngelaCarson as a person who lived in both countries and in Pakistan with privilege. America is a place where you work hard you can climb to the top, and your hard work and money is respected. It doesn't matter what your background is. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, a lot of things are running with the might is right motto. As foreigner Pakistan looks interesting but more your in the system more you will start to realize your in a John Wayne film. I respect you for coming and trying.

[@AngelaCarson]

@@dgurmani well, I haven't worked in the US in decades and I grew my career outside the US mostly (aside from my 1st two jobs), so I have no idea. I worked for tech startups and grew to be CMO in Spain, India, China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Then I started my own company and worked in Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and now Pakistan. I never use the US as a positive reference for a favourite country I've lived in :-( But I am happy you are enjoying it. We are all different and I've been happily living abroad for over 30 years now :-) Hoping Pakistan turns out to be a success for me with my work life, let's see.... All the best to you

[@dgurmani]

@@AngelaCarson Well you have a US passport, and that US citizenships provides weight wherever you are going across the global. So, there is a positive reference for you. I enjoy both countries.

[@dgurmani]

Thank you for giving Pakistan a continuous try. Have you watched Charlie Wilson War? It is an interesting film about Congressman and his tour to Pakistan, featuring Tom Hanks. There are laws in PK, but not properly implemented or understood. You're luckily didn't go to court cause court here can be hectic and time-consuming. Unfortunately, to cut the deal, we sell heaven, and then after that, everything is nothing but hurdles. Lack of discpline is what is the root cause of this.

[@AngelaCarson]

ohhhhh that was a lot to unpack haha But thank you. Yes have seen the film a couple of times but forgot it took place in Pakistan to be honest. Wishing you a happy 2025 :-)

[@muozzamshami4778]

Have a blessed life

[@AngelaCarson]

thank youuuu

[@qaisarsiraj2743]

This is weird. You should have had an estate agent do this for you and not rented the place without visiting first.

[@AngelaCarson]

I explain that in the video

[@maniyousaf5341]

Welcome to Emaar.

[@LaraibAsif-t3c]

Well it's strange that you wanted to move to Pakistan while many Pakistanis trying to move to United States and in other countries. I've myself always admired the US and the freedom that country gives to it's citizens. Apart from freedom, United States has many beautiful cities like Miami, NYC and others. It true that the US is not perfect and it has it's own share in different issues but I think those issues aren't difficult to solve. Now as for Pakistan and you have decided to move to Pakistan I wish you best of luck for your future life here and in everything you do. However, I'm interested in knowing what made you so interested in Pakistan? If you want to share something about it? Thank you so much for the read and happy New year 🎉

[@AngelaCarson]

I actually answer your question at the start of this video so I think you've only commented and not watched hehe ;-) Happy New Year to you, too!

[@climatechange8307]

What happened to your voice 😢?

[@AngelaCarson]

sorry, it's my voice, been that way since my 20s

[@climatechange8307]

@AngelaCarson it's ok mam I just wanted to know nothing else

[@AngelaCarson]

no idea :-( happens when i sleep the wrong amount of hours

[@bobwa399]

I think it all happened because you are a foreigner and people you faced wanted to do the process with due diligence. Keep one thing in mind that Karachi people are the most brainiac in Pakistan. I would suggest living in Clifton block-7 or Bath Island which is just 2 KM away from U.S embassy Karachi.

[@AngelaCarson]

I've never bothered to check where a consulate was in any of the countries I've lived in (embassies are in capitals FYI, karachi would have a consulate as it's no longer the official capital). You carry too much fear with you. Also, I think you didn't watch the video. No due diligence comes into play with refusing to speak to a woman directly.

[@buggeroo22]

For the love of God...leave.

[@AngelaCarson]

over agreement compliance drama, nooooooope. these things are easily fixed. finding an apartment i want to call home for a couple of years, that's harder and worth a little drama in the end
