In this video, "10 Shocking Realizations Americans Have When Living in the United Kingdom," I share the most surprising cultural differences and unexpected truths that Americans—especially those under 30—often discover after moving to the UK. From daily life quirks and British etiquette to language surprises, weather shocks, and navigating the pub culture, this episode offers real-life insight into what it’s really like to live abroad.
Whether you're a Brit curious about how Americans view your culture or an American thinking about making the move, this video breaks it all down with humor and honesty. For more tips, travel vlogs, and in-depth expat advice, visit our website at hicksondiaries.com.
