i spent 72 hours in London.. then spontaneously moved here | VLOG

[@AM-dz2sh]

Stumbled across this video.. And now I'm a subscriber! Loved this video and your determination to step outside of your comfort zone. As a fellow Londoner, I can tell you that you will LOVE London.. pricey but one of the best cities I've ever visited/lived in! Wishing you the best 🙂

[@overseaswithkey]

That means sooo much to me, thank you for the support!! 🥺 It was definitely hard to do so, but I'm finding that once you just take the risk.. it's hard at first but always gets easier after. And worth it. London is definitely overwhelming (the most people I've seen in one space in my whole life 😅😂) but so much amazing inspiring energy! If you have any recommendations for me please let me know! Thanks for such a lovely comment 😊

[@titussoul64]

Welcome to London!! I really enjoyed your vlog; such an exciting adventure. You'll love the city, especially in the summer, when it truly comes into its own. I hope all goes well with settling in, the new job, new friendships.🙂

[@overseaswithkey]

Ahhh thanks so much!! 🥹 I can't wait to experience London in the summer! But Christmas time in London is just 😍🤩 It's definitely been a little tough and lonely settling in, but I'm hopeful it will eventually get better. Thanks so much for the well wishes, very sweet of you 🥰

[@hughtube5154]

Agree with the sentiment but have to add my own hellish experience. It was summer. There was a heatwave. I was on the Central line - and it stopped between stations and didn't move for 40 mins. Underground, sirrounded by hundreds of other people, during a heatwave, with no air conditioning. Sometimes it pays to take the bus.

[@anaarfilm]

I've been thinking about moving from Canada to the UK a lot lately so I decided to watch some youtube videos and vlogs about it! And to watch a video where there are clips of protests in support of Iranian women is such a wonderful coincidence (I'm Iranian!!!!). It made me super emotional and now this feels like a sign from the universe lol Hope you're thriving in London! :) Thanks for including the protest in your video

Just found your channel and now I'm immediately along for the ride. As someone who has let fear hinder my dreams for so long, I'm hoping to draw inspiration from your bravery and your videos. Thank you!

[@overseaswithkey]

Wow, I love this so much. The thing is, I still feel that fear.. it's such a tremendous effort to overcome it. It feels impossible before you start, but I always find once you say screw it and start anyway, it's not nearly as scary as what your fear made you believe it would be! So happy you're along for the ride with me, happy to have you 😊🙏🏼

[@Lixmage]

I stumbled across your video completely by accident but was entranced by your filming and editing skills. I am not vegetarian but you convinced me to try some vegetarian/vegan options in my own city of Manchester. I admire your courage to just move across the world to seek pastures new. I am British but actually lived in Quebec when I was very young, in Montreal and then a tiny place called Rimouski (about 400 km NE). I was lucky enough to do a similar thing to you in my early 20s in France and Belgium and never looked back! Can't wait to check out your videos on how this all came about. You must have clearly got some kind of working visa. I wish you all the very best in your new life Key and hope you make some solid friendships soon. Subscribed!

[@overseaswithkey]

Wow, everything about this comment!!! 🤩That's just amazing, love that I've inspired you to try vegan/vegetarian.. it could be fun to explore/learn and see what it's all about!! Also I'm shocked.. I don't know many Brits who've been to Quebec, let alone lived there.. that's so awesome!! In your time in Quebec, France & Belgium have you picked up some French?? 😊 Thank you so much for the support though, means the world! Will definitely be posting videos in the future of how I came here, what visa I'm on, etc etc. Glad you stumbled across me ☺️

[@Lixmage]

@@overseaswithkey Oui, je parle couramment le français avec un mélange effrayant d'accents - canadien, belge, français et anglais! I was only five years old when I was in Quebec but omg I remember the Winter.

After saying on way to London Bridge you had images of Tower Bridge my personal least favourite as used to use it for years going to/from work waiting while the let boat through London Bridge alot newer and wider a lot of people make that mistake

[@overseaswithkey]

Oops!! 😅 can you tell I'm new to London?!? I really didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know haha

[@andrewlaw]

@@overseaswithkey Yep London Bridge is the boring, flat, uninspiring bridge that runs parallel with the much more ornate Bascule Tower Bridge that raises to let large ships through. Don't worry it's a very common error a lot of Americans make. 😀

[@overseaswithkey]

@@andrewlaw I'm Canadian but I'll let that one slide! 😂

[@raymondhoward9173]

What made you pick Oxford ahead of London probably for financial reasons because London is very very expensive place … Oxford very quite place much smaller town while London is massive

[@overseaswithkey]

Exactly.. but turns out it's pretty much the same price wise... I thought I would like it but to be honest I just got bored

H P sauce as opposed to tomato sauce

Recommend you watch Al Murray’s comedy sketch Bacon proves the existence of God Am only pulling your leg it’s up to you what you eat luv❤

[@Lixmage]

@@overseaswithkey Brown Sauce, or to give its correct name HP (Houses of Parliament) Sauce is a truly British concoction, not entirely dissimilar to the American A1 barbeque sauce, but MUCH better. As far as I am aware HP sauce is vegan so I cannot recommend it strongly enough. It typically goes on a full English breakfast or a sausage or bacon sandwich so would be perfect with any vegan equivalent of the above.

[@overseaswithkey]

@@edwardherron3881 oh I love HP sauce! I grew up with it in my household. We have that in Canada! 😉 haha one love ❤️

About time vegans stopped misappropriation of meat dish names.

[@overseaswithkey]

So when I'm looking for a copycat "chicken" sandwich (since I'm vegan and don't eat chicken but want something like it) what am I supposed to look for lol? ☹️ it just makes it easier for us to identify what it's trying to imitate. Serious question but why does this bother you?

[@robharris8844U]

@@overseaswithkey I find it baffling if vegans are for other than meat they apparently have to give it a meat product name.Is it that vegetables and grass are not appetising? I respect your choice and anyone elses to choose to not eat meat but I hate the misappropriation of meat products names. I am not in the meat industry or any other connection. I am a occasional eat meat eater, as it is stuffed with protein and good for you. They human being is omnivorous we can eat both. Anyway, I am not here to lecture my point of view as best. Just do think plant eating does little fir sales pitch by misappropriation of meat names, of course other than to deceive for maximum profit. Why do you eat plants and cheat yourself to believe something its not? (Ps. Yes I know there are Vegans and Vegetarians but both generally preach the same.)

[@robharris8844U]

@@BuddhaNature As I said I have no connection with the meat industry. I am just sick of the misappropriation of meat product terms by the vegan /vegetarians which appears just to try and deceive buyers. It means I have to constantly look close to the packaging as the packaging at times is pretty close to trade discription limits. I do think it is about time vegan- Vegetarian food found its own names for similar looking plant products.
