I’m so impressed that you quite literally just moved across the globe and you’re still creating content! Please remember to take time to rest and maintain your peace!

I tried Florida. It was my dream too, the first place I ended up. I couldn’t take the heat in the summer! Lol. You are probably used to it from where you grew up! My late mum told me something invaluable before I left the UK: “Son you don’t leave your problems behind when go go somewhere else, you simply take them with you” Make sure Poppy that your problem isn’t a general sense of restlessness from within, since Utopia doesn’t exist! It’s always going to be a trade off! The weather is much better in Florida, than London. Although you might wanna change Drizzle’s name to either ‘Bernie’ or even ‘Hurricane’ I LOVED seeing him again! GOD BLESS HIS COTTON SOCKS!!!

Dear Poppy, I see a lot of myself in you... Now I know I am not the only one who has not figured things out by 30. What you said about what happened in 2009, was spot on. When that happened to me I felt like my life was falling apart... Now I am back in my home country. My finances aren't that great. However, I've found my passion... I have done a little bit of everything. Was in providing facility services, sales, marketing, admin, tourism, and customer care consultancy... I recently joined teaching and love every bit of it. Now I realize it was falling into place, not apart... Love from Sri Lanka 🥰

You have to buy a lamp for the room. One of the switches on the wall controls whatever socket you plug that lamp into and it’ll turn on the lamp

Absolutely loving how you're sharing specific details and inner thoughts. Most people glaze over anything financial, so it's really refreshing. So excited to see how this progresses for you.

You're so brave for taking a a leap of faith and pursue a completely uncharted path. Being a generalist is actually quite amazing and I'm glad you get to tap into your accumulated knowledge and experience. I'm excited to see what's to come for you!

Thank you, Poppy! I am at the same point in life and personally find your videos so inspiring and insightful.

Hi p’Poppy. I am also Thai and currently lives in Canada. I’m sooo glad I found your channel! I’m extremely inspired by you. All the best to your big move naka!!

Damn I'm about to go to bed, but after tomorrow morning's jump rope session, and food prep it's nice to know I'll have this to look forward to while I'm eating breakfast. Your videos, and commentary on life help keep me on my path of trying to turn my life around. I'll be back with another comment later. Thank you buddy. 🙂

Been following you since the accounts days! So happy for you in this next chapter!

I’ve just started watching you and love your content! I hope you enjoy Florida!! I have lived in Jacksonville, Miami and now Orlando for almost half my life and hope it is a great change for you ❤

Hello Poppy, sending love from dubai. I recently came across of your Chanel and it made me feel that I’m not alone who starts the journey again. I really admire and appreciate how you helping me to understand it’s okay to take risk and start over in 30’s. I recently stepped in to 30’s but age is just a number. It’s uncomfortable yes and I really feel it cz I’m going through the same. I support women and it’s beautiful. Much love. 💕

Congrats on moving and buying a new business! I would love for you to maybe talk about the process of buying an existing business. I'm currently researching and looking to buy one myself. I think it just makes more sense in a way because the original owners did most of the heavy lifting. So you are just taking over the process/or improving it.

hi poppy, thank you for sharing your journey so honestly! i just moved to amsterdam as a stepping stone without a solid plan; just going with the flow and i got challenged (survival fears etc) SO much but this helps me to awaken that self trust, abundance mindset and confidence in myself that i yearn for - through facing contrast on the physical plane and to following my intuition/my truth no matter what others are saying, believing or think is the truth (there's only our own unique truth). sending love and strength xo (+ i'm going to look as hot as you in my 30s and beyond :-) )

You are inspiring ❤ I love your calm demeanor

Your channel is growing!! ❤

Thank you for sharing such pivotal time in your life with us. Content like this is really helpful and encouraging for someone like me, as I have made the decision to move states (in the US) very soon after feeling overdue for a big life change in my 30s. Good luck, and I wish you the best in your new life chapter! ❤

Your vlogs are the best Poppy. I love your storytimes❤

I'm taking this a a sign because my husband have been considering moving to Florida for a while now so this was perfect timing ❤️

I resonate with your story 100%. I also moved to the US from Bangkok less than a year ago to start all over again at 38!! I want to let you know that I see you and your contents made me feel seen and heard as well. Thank you! P.S. we have ceiling fans in the Midwest as well. This kinda remind me of home back in Thailand. 😆

Congrats on the change and move! Best wishes 🎉

This was such a lovely vlog to watch. Thanks for being so transparent

im in love with your channel, keep making these videos❤

Hey Poppy! This video was so about time. I’m in my mid 30-s, lived in 6 countries but thinking to move to another one again.. to start over from literally zero. Thanks for being so inspiring.

Funny how your video popped into my feed as I finished writing my diary about restarting/preparing to restart my life at the age of 37 :) My change is not as big as yours but kudos to you and good luck with your new journey!

Welcome to the US. We don’t do lights on the ceiling fans because it’s such a harsh light overhead. We use table lamps. Those extra wall switches connect to the outlets the lamps plug in, so you can turn the lamps on and off. Hope this helps! 🏠💡

Welcome to Florida!! I moved here in 2022 and love it so much!!! I hope you do as well.

I figured you wouldn't post a video for a few weeks with this huge change in your life. Thanks for answering the furniture question that I had. I thought about moving throughout my life, but just the fact that I would miss my family stops those feelings.

Hey this latest vlog was great. Thanks for spotlighting your new livelihood in the USA. Good luck with your business endeavors. Your growth inspires my growth. You have a nice place, and a cute dog. BTW, it looks like we share the same breakfast lol. I usually go with two eggs, choi sum, and a piece of wheat toast alongside an apple, and some peanuts. Quick, and reasonably delicious :)

Cool video. I'm going through a very difficult transition and this is quite motivational.

As someone who is having a mid life? Quarter life crisis (36) I am constantly looking for content like yours. I sincerely feel like some people are just naturals at creating content and I feel like you could be a full time content creator / lifestyle vlogger. There is something very genuine and refreshing about your perspective. And I really dislike "influencers" because they tend to fabricate this perfect life that's not realistic. Your videos feel attainable, relatable, and I think there's still an untapped market for content like this,.

Your video really resonates with me so much.. Thanks for sharig your story and your encourangement. I am 45, born & raised in Austria, lived 20 years in Australia, and have been living in Spain for the last year. Like you, I felt there was a change needed in my life. Living in Australia didn't serve me anymore. While it is an incredibly beautiful country with lots of oppotunities, my wife and I were not able to create a lot of wealth & freedom for us. For the last 5 years or so, housing prices have skyrocketed - And because of this, we decided to move back to Europe. Moving to Spain has been really scary for me, because 1) I dont speak Spanish. I have been learning, but it is a slow process, and 2) I also wanted to change my career, and like you, I have been on the lockout of purchasing a business, because I am actually also a generalist, and have done all sorts of things in the past.. worked in IT/Tech corporate 9-5 for 15 years, was a restaurant manager for 5 years, and have dabbled wiith internet businesses doing sales and marketing. I feel like, I constantly need to reinvent myself :) It's exactly like you said, scary, but I simply cannot see myself going back to my old self... Congrats to you on moving countries and also getting into business almost at the same time! That certainly takes a lot of courage and discipline, so I really admire that! Wishing you all the best, and I am sure I'll be sure back to your channel to see more of your life updates. Kind regards from Mabella, Spain!

I like your videos.🌻🌻 You have inspired me a lot. Thank you very much.

Depending on the apartment, we have to buy overhead lights in Japan too. Also, I stumbled on your channel because I'm contemplating an international move in, not even my 30s but early 40s! It's a lot, and I wish you the smoothest transition possible.

Definitely hit home, the part about would you be happy doing what you are doing for the next 10 years.

Welcome to my state!!! I love it here too! ❤

so courageous ! good luck in your new place! take care!

I'm 33, turning 34 soon, pondering a move for change. Freelancing for a few years, then a new country, perhaps. Terrified. Lived abroad before, but now, older, it feels tougher. Life's grown dull, drifted from old friends (married with kids, in relationships etc, dont see life the same). Just feel like a robot.

Your videos are so inspiring ❤

i'm a USRN from the Philippines, hope to move in the US soon. I'm considering Florida now because of your video

Great video. Thank you for the insights.

Great video Poppy❤🎉

I have moved 18 times across the US. I am about to start another move😅. Each one has its own challenges. Maybe I will run into you since I have a dog and I live in FL. Congratulations on your new business.

Congratulations and love your content 🎉

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Might consider pursuing my dream businesses. And yes, I am on my early 30s now too. I think, this age or phase is about making major career choices and great decisions in life, that will greatly affect our future financial status! 😊

Am UK/USA dual... I used to live in Florida/USA for many years... Now back in Europe for several years now... Enjoy and wish you the best in your new journey/life in Florida/USA! :-))

Your doggy is adorable. Love bull terriers❤

hey I watched all the video, please trust your gut lol, mine never failed me so far, this is going to be an insane journey for sure, my dream is to move to the us too, and soon will happen , really enjoyed the vid, keep it up

Thank you so much for sharing your story my dream is to move to the US and also in Florida, I felt in love with Florida last August can wait to go back wish you the best with your husband and dog 💖 and thank you so much for te info about E2 visa i felt it was out of reach without veryyyy good money 💖

Good Luck on your journey 😊

Welcome to the US!

The sign i needed to pursue creating a startup from scratch

You motivate me so much

Great video. Best wishes.

Omg I’m so glad and inspired with your story .I have same feelings like you have mentioned and will Appreciate if you can do a video of family moving to LA.I have 3kids one will need day care what is the cost etc.🙏

Congratulations on your big move! It takes courage and vision to make a significant transition like moving from the UK to FL. But it looks like you're settling in quite well despite the challenges of acclimating to a new country and a new system. You have an amazing attitude, and I'm glad you have your husband to support you. Look forward to a progress report soon. 😊

Take care of you 🎉❤

Hi, from Texas! The light thing is definitely NOT a US thing 😂😂 I would be so confused not having a light too. That’s so silly not to have one 🤣 welcome to the south ! 💕 Also, Florida is such a great state here in America. Most of my family and my husbands live there. It’s beautiful, nice people, and great food

Wow, Poppy, just found you channel and subscribed right away as I relate a lot living in London and all that comes with it! So much great information you’ve shared I def want to keep in touch if that s ok xx

Yes it’s true, most apartments in the US come with no light in the bedrooms. However, if a fan is provided in the ceiling these usually have a light attached, not sure why this one does not.

oh you're married! i didn't realise that!

That was a bold move. Respect.

In the middle of the fan there should be a light I think it may be burnt out. You will need a special bulb! But I would try and get il there and takeoff the plastic middle to expose where a bulb could go!

Thanks for sharing! Will you be expanding on you financial goals now that you're in the US?

You're so right about seeing tax as an expense! I'm from Lisbon, Portugal and the taxes we pay are ridiculous, plus the VAT is 23%.

Try pulling the rope on the Fan. some old fan models have that feature were the lights are in the fan

U have to pull the string for light and to manage the speed of fan u know that right😅

You would make a great Motivational Speaker.

lol utility/ laundry room is not common in US apartments. That’s a suburban thing. And they definitely messed up the lights when they put a fan without a light or without connecting the light. But sometimes the light switch would turn on a lamp that’s plugged on the wall and not the ceiling.

I am hoping you will compare about food uk and us in your next video. so much different. I miss my best italian gelato from Wimbledon (London). It seems to be there is no food control in US. So many junk and dangerous foods are available in many supermarkets. We are shocked when we see them first time.

Thank you for your vlog! Even you moved to US, are you still available for one to one session abt living in UK?

I'm wondering how you moved with your dog? Was it hard for a pet? I've heard that they keep them for week on a quarantaine when you come to the US. Isn't that shocking for w dog? We may move as well with our corgi so that's why i'm so interested:)

🔥

I love you 😘

Omg I just upped and moved out of Florida few weeks ago. I moved to NC to be more surrounded by nature because FL is just not my scene. Also I've never seen an apartment with no overhead light and I rented many in florida. That is really strange.

Hello ❤

That’s weird cause I know places with light with the fan I would check that out

What you decided to do with your London property? Have you sold it or rented it?

I lived in Florida for 4 years and just moved to another states, if you live in Tampa and need some recommendations for places to explore, let’s me know. I would love to share with you. Welcome to Florida 🎉

I Love your Bull terrier

IKEA is popular and may be near you. Some electrical outlets in the bedrooms may be on a wall switch.

Do you think you'd moved another country if you were single? I'm in my early 30s and been moving around a lot throughout my life and (still!) sometimes I kinda wanna settle somewhere haha

Have you tried to pull from the chain of that "light".

I can get fans with lights

Hmm, I'm confused I assumed you have been single all those years. On this video, you mentioned you have a husband so your not alone

Love u are u married??

Say do you watch anime?

You're in the US now... Your patio furniture will get stolen.

The United States is the last place I would move. However, you are a social media influencer so you are probably love all the bullshit.
