In this video I talk about my experience of moving to the UK from Hong Kong at 18 by myself. I moved abroad, moved to the UK from HK for university as an international student and it changed my life! I want to talk about my experience moving abroad, the challenges I faced and what I learned. I have also recently moved to London and I also briefly touch on that at the end. I hope you enjoy the video.

who is this random guy talking nonsense:
I am Jason, a law graduate turned management consultant in London! I was born and raised in Hong Kong in a comfortable bubble until life all changed when I moved abroad to the UK. I started learning and taking action on designing my own life and I would love to share my journey with like-minded people who are unsatisfied with living a typical life. I want to help people discover the endless possibilities of life design, and life setup that can bring about a more exciting, fulfilling, and unique life that is different from the default path. I'm doing that on this channel with life design, self-development and lifestyle videos that I hope will inspire and teach you something new!

Oh i am so sorry for what happening for you and hongkongers. Hope for the best for all hongkongers. Also bad time to move to London during financial crisis. cost of living is higher than other cities, even more in this crisis. But you're from Hongkong, i think London is the most similar city to Hongkong (financial hub and high cost of living). But if you consider to move to other city maybe you should try Brighton. I heard many gen-Z Londoners moves there in the past few years. Alot of new creative business and hipsters there. Cheers

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate the sympathy towards Hong Kongers. Yea London is going through a tough time now but despite all that I still it being the best place for me to kickstart my career. I love Brighton! Been there last summer and loved the youthful and liberal atmosphere there
