    What it's like living in America depends on where you live in America. I'm saying that as an American. The US is huge. I've visited 23 of 50 states in different parts of the country. The US is like living in several different countries at once The west coast is nothing like the deep south. The midwest is totally different than the east coast and so own.

      It was a really big deal moving from Wisconsin to Arizona. After giving it a try for about 1 1/2 years, I moved back. Joining the army later brought me to North Carolina. Although culturally quite different, the landscape was similar enough that it had more of a home feel to it with a much more appealing climate. NC is now where I call home while most of my family is still in WI and MN (about 24 hours non-stop drive away). I still see them from time to time, but mostly just communicate by phone or online.

      The Supreme Court just made the President a King. For 200+ years the whole point was that we would never ever live under a Monarch. That’s why the American Revolution happened, we hated having a King. But the Court just reversed our entire History. “The President shall make no laws” is a defining part of the Constitution. The weirdos sitting in judgement over us said the President could literally have people killed and never face prosecution. Don’t believe me? Look it up.

    6:00 the British liked to change how they spelled words and said words because they sounded to poor/ peasanty. Like Aluminum. Believe it or not here in the US we spell and pronounce it correctly with how the person who discovered it wanted it. Years later the Brits changed it to sound higher class. Lawerence did a video on it a few years ago.

    I dated someone whose parents were from England and honestly, I could barely understand a word they said. I didn't like being alone with them because I would just nod my head, smile a lot, and look for cues about what they were talking about. They probably thought I was some kind of idiot.
    Almost 2 million Americans live in Mexico, along with thousands of Canadians. In fact, I'm planning to move to Mexico. I've spent a lot of time there. The cost of living is great but the most important reason people cite for staying there is that the people are incredibly friendly, social, and welcoming. It blows me away how kind, respectful, and polite they are, especially compared to the US where mutual respect has been gone for a long time now. Old people here in the US often live very lonely lives. In Mexico, old people are considered important members of the community and people like being around them. That alone can extend your life expectancy. Neighbors go out of their way to know you and spend time with you. Yes, Mexico has problems but most people aren't affected by them and the social culture there more than makes up for it according to most.
    I recently spent a few months in Mexico at my parent's house (they moved there a long time ago). They were out of town for a week and I was alone at the house. One night I was watching TV with the lights off. The old ladies of the neighborhood just walked in calling my name. They told me that they knew I was there but they were concerned that the lights were off and were checking up on me to see that I was OK. They looked around the kitchen and knew I hadn't eaten and they began cooking for me. Then they made me some dessert. They ended staying for 4 hours and we just talked and talked. Those old ladies were so much fun to talk to and I was glad they came in. Staying at my parent's, it wasn't unusual to come out of the shower to find 23 people (I counted) in the house who came to see my 90 year old Dad on a Saturday afternoon. You will never be alone in Mexico.

    Good afternoon Adam… Again let me tell you how happy I am to be reconnected with you as a reactor as you’re one of the first reactors I ever started following back when you sound Dimash and Marcelito Pomoy😁 tell you that I have been fortunate enough to have lived all around the US the one thing I can assure you is most of the places that you see that are beautiful are very difficult to live in unless your occupation allows you to work from home or you work in some sort of outdoor capacity. There are some beautiful coastal towns as well as wonderful towns in the mountains such as Denver but everyone travels there so they are very crowded. I remember seeing you surprised that a lot of Americans do not have passports but the fact is that this country is so vast that a lot of the beautiful things that you see on your reactions are the vacations that we take without having to leave the country. Now to answer your question about living abroad. I could easily live in another country because while the United States has many tremendous qualities, Canada and a lot of European countries definitely are more cultured than the US. This country is extremely divided and there is a lot of hate. The United States is well behind Europe when it comes to the arts diversity sexuality and even just sex for that matter… Sounds funny but very true. If I were you I would come visit the United States as you’re going to soak in as much as you can glad you live in your seaside town in Northern Ireland because I’m sure people are warm and welcoming and for the most part probably just let you be you. please let me know if I’m mistaken and I’ll talk to you soon

    When I was in Spain I thought to myself, "I could live here". In truth, unless I had to move to another country for some reason like a job or something, I wouldn't live anywhere else but the US. I enjoy traveling and love seeing how other people live but I'm an American in my soul. I still plan to visit Italy and Ireland so maybe I will feel differently but I think it's unlikely. We should all be connected to our country in our hearts and be proud of where we are from. Certainly there are circumstances where people want to move for safety and a better life but that doesn't mean they don't still feel a love for their heritage.

    To answer your question:
    I feel like rather than dreaming of where we could move to, people should dream about how we can make where we are better and then visit other wonderful places to learn/grow/etc.
    While I'm sure there are places that I could exist quite happily, I also can not really see myself living in Europe. Don't get me wrong, it's lovely (what little I've seen of it). For me, it's just that I really am just happy with where our country came from and where it can go if "we the people" choose to make it happen... I also would truly miss the natural beauty (all of our National and State Parks) far too much to stay away long.

The habits and manners are far more similar than different. Truly, it didn't take long for us to feel "at home" there. The differences do stick out, of course, but for you in particular--I hope you'll take this in the friendly spirit I intend it--you are so very open and "American" in how you present yourself. There is stodgy, posh, emotionally constipated British (we have those in the US, as well; they just have a different accent), and then there is the average person in the UK who is open and friendly and just wants to go through his day being a good person and get along with others. You seem like the latter. You'd have no trouble *at all* fitting in with Americans. There would be things that felt odd to you, but you'd get used to them, and people in the US would respond well to someone as friendly and transparently kind as you seem to be.
    The idea of moving country is frightening the first time you do it, but what I always find (we've moved country five times in my life, and several of those countries were not English-speaking: that's much harder to do) Sorry, I rambled, but what I always find when we get to our new home is that all that stress is really unnecessary. People are people everywhere you go, and it's not nearly as strange or upsetting as we worry that it will be.

    Adam, I'm pretty new to your channel. But I love your content. It's great getting to "know" someone from Northern Ireland. And it's great seeing your reactions to all things American. I'd love to learn more about Northern Irelands culture as well. Keep doing what you do and I'll continue to follow like your videos. 😁

    Twice in my life I’ve moved to new states where I knew no one (aside from my husband) and started from scratch with a new house, new job, etc. Even having done that I don’t think I’d actually be able to move to a different country. I’m old now but looking back at it, I think it would have been fun had I done so, especially if I moved to a country whose language I understood. Being able to communicate would be key. Listening to you talk, Adam, about how much you love the US, I think it would be wonderful if you, your partner, and your baby girl gave the US a try. Even if only for a year. We have coastal areas with large towns or little towns, whichever you want. Thinking about the temperatures you’re used to I would recommend the Seattle area or the coastal areas from Virginia to Maine. I don’t think you would regret it.

    I lived in Oslo, Norway for three years. I worked on the economy, learned the language with a vocabulary of a two year old, and had friends with the American military community. It is impossible to make friends with Norwegians, even if you are Norwegian but are from a different city. It is nearly impossible to get a Norwegian to smile unless they are laughing at strangers. The country is totally beautiful. Couldn't wait to get home.

    Yes...I could live in the UK, but I have lived for a year and would go back tomorrow to Salzburg, Austria, and never leave if it was easier than it is or I had more money. I visit every year and it's my happy place. But I think I could live in the UK, if I could install air conditioning. I watch tons of British panel shows and love them and some of those soccer channels like Away Days and Stunt Pegg make me want to go to all the soccer grounds from Sunday League all the way up the pyramid. Would be a fun. And I love cold and wet. Plus the short trips to all sorts of different places. The different states have some differences but having been to each state at least 3 separate times and constantly driving cross country from my home in San Diego to see baseball (greetings from Eau Claire, Wisconsin right for instance) it's not the same as saying a short flight or good drive from the UK and being in Italy or Portugal or Serbia or Denmark, etc.....

    No matter where you are, the grass always looks greener on the other side. It's such a cliche but home is where the heart is. That's why you can go on vacation to the most amazing places, and yet after a while you begin looking forward to being back in your own bed and your own routine.

    I am a veteran and have lived in a few different states. The US is so vast that there’s no one way. Things are different all over. That’s a big part of why Americans don’t travel abroad. We don’t really need to. I live in Tennessee. Born and raised. But I’ve lived from Florida to California. And it’s all about preference and comfort. I loved California so much but when I started having children, I wanted to raise them in the country like I was raised. I still miss the sunsets and ocean…. but every morning, these beautiful Appalachian Mountains make me happy to be alive.

    Actually, I think people talk about the weather because it affects a lot of what you do, such as what clothes you will where or what outdoor activities you are able to do. It is also a shared experience with everyone around you so it’s natural to say something about it. 😁

    The weather affects us all regardless, so it's the one common denominator outside of of being human that we can all speak about. When I worked with the public, I did notice that British people would lay their accents on as thick as possible in an attempt to seem proper or whatever at times, especially when they were asking for an item or complaining about something. Foreigners will also use terms and phrases that are unique to their culture, even if they don't normally use the terms in their normal way of speaking. This is normal human behavior in an attempt to have individuality. We like to have individuality in the USA, but I feel outside of the USA this is a negative action. We Americans (generally) don;t want to blend so much that we disappear.

    My husband moved from London to San Francisco, California in 1988 and has lived here ever since. We met in the mid-aughts and were married in the late-aughts. We live about 1.5 hours as the crow flies east of San Francisco now. He was very adventurous, and holds dual citizenship. My daughter - because we watched so much BBC TV on PBS when she was a girl could understand many types of British accents. When she worked at a local restaurant as a teen, she was often called up by her colleagues to help with British tourists accents. I grew up in cosmopolitan area but my daughters didn't out here in what my husband calls, "the back of beyond."

    I was a Russian Linguist in the US Army from 1984-1992. I lived in Moscow as the translator from 86-87. Yes it was the Soviet Union then. It was really strange, but I enjoyed it. Then my wife and I have lived in Abu Dhabi and London a few years back for about a year in each country. We love to travel and have been all over Europe. Our next trip is planned for Ireland. We recently found out that both of us are 82% and 87% UK/Ireland. We had no ideal and learned from two different genetics tests. Therefore, we want to go see the home country. I didn't enjoy London, but the rest of the country was great. We never got time to visit Ireland while in the UK.
    Now Adam (I am assuming this is your name, sorry if it is not), I have three boys and I am assuming you are near their ages. My oldest just turned 30. My second son will be 29 in August and my youngest son will be 22 in November. My advice to them was to travel as far and as much as possible. I am an attorney and most of my work is inside. However, I will take cases all over the world. I have a baccalaureate and a master degree in engineering and a Juris Doctorate in Law (last is the degree required to be an attorney along with passing the BAR exam). I use this background as well as being a Russian linguist to get work in the international business law. This allows my wife and me to travel around the world. However, as I started this paragraph, Adam, get out and see the world. Travel everywhere in the UK and surrounding areas. Enjoy life, because you will turn around (expression meaning will happen before you know it) and you will be my age (56) with adult kids and never have been anywhere. I see people my age or a little older that has never even been more than one state away from Arkansas and this just amazes me. It also allows you to see people and meet friends all over the world. Anyway, enough rambling. I really enjoy your channel and have watched Lawrence for a while, but just found you recently.

    Adam, I've never been blessed to visit any of the UK or any part of Ireland. What I have seen is really beautiful and surprising in that I thought it'd be much colder there like in our New England, or the Northern Planes and Minnesota. That was a shock. I knew it was rainy, like it is here in many different places which leads to all your greenery. I don't understand, not complaining or putting your opinions down at all, but why would you think it's shite to live where you live? It's your home, where those from whom you were bred have thrived for centuries. I love America, the pretty and the plain parts it takes it all to make a continent, but I don't understand why someone who lives in such a beautiful and historical land as the UK, just takes it's beauty for granted, and actually dislikes it so. Your a great young fella, very likable, what you've shown of your home is great too, why is it not special to you as it is home.....to you. Perhaps you should reconsider some of your homeward thoughts. It's easy to look elsewhere and imagine how it must be there, but if you move there, you'll find like everyplace you get used to it and suddenly it's got it's same ole', same ole' aspects as well. You should promote us visiting the UK as you often seem to promote your visiting the USA. We like you here, so like your home there, your accent alone is so unusual and fun where ours is so plain. Enjoy life, enjoy northern Ireland!
