Getting adjusted: laundry, meal prep + finding a gym // London Vlog #4 

I've received quite a few requests to do a Q&A about my London move in an upcoming video! Please reply with your questions below! 💕😊

The switch is on the wall so kids can't turn the stove on. Safety!

I am enjoying this journey

The wall fuse is a new safety regulation. We didn't have one growing but we recently had a new kitchen installed and we now have a wall fuse. it prevents kids or absent minded adults from being able to turn on the gas supply to the oven by accident. I guess it equals less fires and explosions.

Yes,please keep up the London vlogs, I really enjoy them, so exciting!

my son studied abroad this past summer in Scotland and Ireland and loved it! ! he's 17 and actually didn't want to come home lol I would love to visit again with him showing me around .

You’re adjusting well. They’re so many differences but you’re staying calm and getting through.Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I’m loving it! ❤️

Remember you can only use Contactless up to the value of £30 only on each purchase. If it’s over £30 you have use chip & pin. Also if you just use contactless on too many purchases for a few weeks; your card may decline. But if this happens don’t worry just say to the cashier I will try using the same card via chip and pin and then it will work. This is because banks sometimes block contactless use for precaution...but don’t worry, contactless will resume again after 24 hours once you have used the chip and pin method.

Yes I’d love to know what made you go to grad after working for a couple years, the application process and why London and not a regular US grad school program? Thanks for sharing your series as well!

You are dealing so good with everything but seeing how Americans are struggling with stuff that are so obvious for Europeans is sooooo weird sometimes! I just found you on RU-vid! I am starting at University of Greenwich this fall! I know its going to be a hard start cause I am not from UK but not as for you probably. Anyways it made me so happy to look at you being so positive and definitely I am staying here for longer!

I’m so excited to take this journey with you Paige ! Congrats on everything!

I'm so excited for you Paige!! I really enjoy seeing all the 'simple' things that go into your move. Can't wait to see more!!

It's nice to see how things are going well for you in London.

I am proud of you. You are in my prayers. Thanks for sharing aspects of your life.

Congrats on starting your classes! So exciting!

I love your videos! Just been binge watching 🤓💕

Go Paige go Paige! So happy to see you adjusting so well to LDN life, congrats its such a big move and you should be super proud of what you have achieved thus far. Can't wait for your training vlogs and its about to get real cold so wrap up :)

I am loving these vlogs. It has been my dream to move to London. I am living this adventure through you! ❤️

I’ve just discovered your channel , I’m loving your studying abroad vlogs. As well as your travel and just the whole experience of moving and getting adjusted because it’s something I’ve always thought about and it’s very enlightening to follow along with you.

I couldn't wait for the next vlog! You are so brave. I will be moving to England soon too and you are so helping gain courage!♥️😍

I feel like I'm just getting use to the chip too. Looking forward to a room tour 💜

Love it, this is taking me back to my days at Greenwich. Glad that you are settling in & the course is going well 😀

Really enjoy watching your videos! Please keep them coming. Glad I found your channel

You’re making me wish I had go abroad to get my masters degree. I love watching your journey. I can’t wait to see your fitness journey as well as hair journey. Will you be working in London as well?

Thanks for sharing your journey, I love watching your video! 😁

Nice, glad you're getting things sorted.

Two years later these videos are so helpful! Im moving to London next year for my bachelor's!

You are right. We don't have to turn on switches before using the oven, So I would have been lost just like you. Glad to know before I come visit the UK. Never know if I need to cook while I'm there! As always Great video; you are adjusting just fine

What a sweet girl! Best of luck with your studies. You are adjusting so well, congratulations! London

Loving your vlogs. 😍 I was born in the UK and miss it. I’m definitely due for a visit. It is an adjustment. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your journey.

I love how you are easing yourself into organizing instead of trying to do everything upfront. You aren’t overwhelming yourself. It’s inspiring to watch. Good luck with your studies!

Please do a Q&A video! I would love to hear about how you tackled the personal statement, etc. Looks like things are going well so far! I'm so happy for you! London is the greatest city on earth!

I just binge watched all your moving vlogs, loving them so far girl! I live in south east London not far from Greenwich :) interested to see more of your time as you settle in 💕

YOU are a breath of fresh air😃 I hope you are enjoying your time in London! I lived there many year ago in Harrow and i had a blast! Wish you all the BEST!!! 😃

I remember reading one of the twilight books years ago... the writer mentioned it was 100° and my 14 year old self was hella confused. How i are they even alive when thats as hot as the actual sun. Then realised theres more than one unit to measure heat. Its Fahrenheit not Celsius

Her voice would be good for an audio meditation lol she's so calm

I’m loving this 😌

Yes to the q&a!!

This is so awwsome!!

Really enjoying your vlogs!

New subscriber from London....binge watched your vlogs.

Aww you seem like such a sweet soul Paige!! 🤗😊

I've just binge watched all of your London vlogs. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 please keep it coming! Love it! I'm in Australia and can't wait to move over with my family.

I enjoyed sharing this experience with you.

U are so funny and courageous. I'm so proud of you!

I will rock your master's degree I am sure. ❤ I just returned and finished last semester my MBA after working for years. Best of success to you dear.

That Celsius vs Farenheit would confuse the heck out of me especially with weather temperatures...like what bruh give me a sec to get my Google on!!!! Glad you're getting adjusted.

Truly enjoying your vlog and learning so much in the process. A Q&A would be awesome. Oh, btw I'm from the USA Thank you until the next time.

Hey, thanks so much for sharing your journey. Your attitude is inspiring, your positivity and honesty are both great. It’s so easy for vloggers who are living in another country to be really judgemental about their host country’s culture and ways of working. You are the complete opposite, interested, excited and easygoing. I’m also studying for my masters at a London University part time, whilst working full time at another University. It’s really interesting seeing what London is like for someone who isn’t from here and all the annoying life admin that international students need to do to get sorted. I’m going to make all my colleagues watch so we are more understanding of international students. Thanks again,

OMG I am very interested in learning about how your process was. I am thinking of doing schooling over there.

Watching this reminds me so much of my own journey. I got to the UK in September 2018 and gurrrrl I understand ur struggle! I be askng all my flatmates how to use the oven, the stove, the laundry everything. I low key felt kind of dumb lol. But its just a process. I remember how weird i thought it was for even the plug sockets to have switches much less the stove!

Great video. Thanks!

You're doing great. Hang in there.

I love watching ❤️❤️

That detergent looks super convenient though and I love that it's still a liquid. Also wish I could pay for my laundry through an app🙂

Can you please do a video explaining your gym routine over the week. Like do you only focus on one area each time you Go? How many times do you go and what type of exercise do you do each time? I love watching your videos, you inspire me to do better, aim higher and achieve more so Thank you and thank you for creating the Facebook group! 🙌😊

Cool vlog! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations i see your fitting in. You'll be fine it's a new experience enjoy sis👍 much 💘

Please do a q&a video. I am really excited to watch your journey in London and want to know more about how you applied for grad school there.

Yaaaas to moving to London and doing YOU! What are you getting your Masters in?

Just discovered your channel and I've binged watched since this morning haha loving the London vlogs. I wonder what are the requirements for grade school in the UK ? when doing the admission process (I'm not from the US btw 🇫🇷)

I came across your youtube chanel by an accident today and been watching your videos for almost 2 hours ....so girrrl...you got yourself a new subscriber :) I come from the Czech republic and moved to the UK in 2011. I absolutely loved it there but unfortunately I left last year. I found myself a french boyfriend and followed him to France. It's been tough and sometimes I wish I had never left England but its getting better :) I really hope and believe that you are gonna have the best time over there...because I did 😘 so good luck in your new chapter of your life...it will be worth it ❤️ btw. I am really happy you liked my country 😍

Yes do a Q&A about moving to London!

Loving the videos but what made you decide to move to London for grad school and are you planning on making London your home?

Yo I had the same issues when I went to Miami...It took a while but I got there in the end when it came to laundry and using the oven in Fahrenheit

Everything is so different in the UK 🇬🇧

Looking forward to the room tour you promised.

Yes, please do a Q&A 😊

Thank God I found your channel, it's been so helpful! It's been my dream to move abroad to England since I was little, & I want to move to Manchester! Recently I found out I'm actually a British citizen as well as a US one, so I'm gathering as much info as I can. Glad you mentioned getting a bank account, I've been wondering about what sort of banks are even there.

I studied at the Sorbonne. Enjoy your time!🙋

Just came across your vlogs. I'm a grandmother but really am enjoying watching you. My dream has to always been to go to the UK. My one granddaughter thought she would do her Masters there but it didn't happen $$. Oh by the way I'm in a Chicago burb and grew up in the city. It's so interesting seeing the shops etc. something I've always wondered about so please keep them up. Can you give a tour of your room, is it like a dorm in the US? My granddaughter graduates this Spring with her MBA in archival studies in Boston. Best of luck to you.

Here's a tip I cleared my phone and took a picture of each page of my main text book or just the part I was working with just in case it goes back you can skip through your phone as needed 😁 it stopped me having to buy them.

OMGoodness I am enjoying watching your progress, so excited for you. My question is hopefully not too nosy, but did you save up for grad school (internationally) ? so yes I am interested in the process. But even if you wish to keep that private, congratulations on this new chapter.

I found you in my suggestions and I've been hooked since! It's crazy to see the UK through an Americans eyes, kinda made me love my country even more and I hope you are loving it too! Also as if you don't have contactless payments in the States! I hope you aren't too homesick and are making lots of friends!

I really enjoy all of your London videos so much! But I'm definitely here for the Q&A video too! I'm really interested in how you're funding your master's program. I know you previously said you're living off your savings but are you also using any scholarships, financial aid, or fellowship grants too? And did you have a sort of international advisor to walk you through the whole admissions process or did you just do all the research and applying on your own? And lastly, how many schools did you apply to and how did you narrow it down to find a university with a credible marketing program? Sorry for all the questions! And thank you for your always lovely videos!💕

Love your vlogs it takes me back to my time last year. I'd suggest downloading the app citymapper it's literally a life saver helps with getting to and from one place to another in london. It tells you the exact bus stop or station. ♡

Love your videos 👌🏽

You can still use a chip! Contactless is only for £30 or under xx

All the best in your studies.

Thanks for sharing some academic details! I’ve been out of undergrad almost 3 years and just working too. Definitely anxious to jump back in. Are you interested in trying to stay and work on London?

Leaving the country was such a good choice rn ! Will you only be in school or will you be working too ? I’ve been enjoying watching your journey!

How crazy is that laundry system. 😁🐝👖👕Electric ovens ..hey...🙄 Do you have a planner/timetable/bulletjournal?

The communal kitchen is interesting! Did you have buy your own pots and pans or is it a free for all? So crazy! The card chip thing is crazy too! They've been using the chip for years before we got it in the US. I almost panicked when I was over there because I didn't have a chip and thought that I might not be able to use my card.

What camera are you using?! Your footage is beautiful!

Just stumbled across your videos by chance and can only say welcome to greenwich :D was super surprised we are studying at the same uni. Little secret tip: if you run out of the £7 on the app you can simply create a new account with a new email and they give you another £7 credit, so you can basically wash your clothes for free ;) Also the gym at avery is pretty awesome so you should definitely check it out! Do you think you could maybe do a room tour? I'm thinking about moving to this accommodation next year as I'll turn 25 and will be elegible for a spot there, however, I haven't really seen any of the rooms and the photos online don't really provide a lot of info so it would be great to see what I'll be getting myself into and just the general layout :) Love your vlogs btw so I'll def keep watching!💕

I live in London and I have both contactless and a normal debit card. The issue I have with contactless cards is that if you lose it, anyone could pick it up and use it before you cancel the card.

Im manchester uk , best washing power / gel us Bold and comfert or Lenor to soften then . Can ger these from any super market . X

I just started watching you and before I actually watched the vlogs I watched you and "Mike" AKA Jay British vs American video and if I'm in mistaking that sounded alot like Mike when you called someone to help you with the oven😂😂🤔

Would love a Q&A

Circuit laundry is literally satan himself lol, so many people have had issues with it including myself. Last semester I had to get rid of the whole app, get a laundry card from my accommodation reception and use that instead. loved today's vlog btw 💘

I've never heard of that bank, but I know there are a lot on online only ones so that must be one. But just a heads up, contactless cards are WAY cheaper that Oyster. They cap out at a certain amount per day instead of constantly topping up :) (I'm not 100% sure of amounts, especially during the week as I generally am only in London on weekends) but it should save you some pennies hopefully 😁 good luck with everything! I've only just found your channel and you seem to be adjusting really well 😊 xx

So excited and happy for you! You seem to be adjusting very well. Don’t be nervous at all! You’ll do absolutely wonderful because you are meant to be there! Keep encouraging and inspiring Queen! 🙌🏽💜🙏🏽

My hometown is Richmond, Virginia. How did you like Hampton? 💕

Great vlog! What are you getting your masters degree in? What job do you plan to do after school is done? Career? Thanks :)

I'm about to go to London on Valentines day for an internship and I'd love to hear more about the chip vs contactless money. Last time I was there my chip worked fine. Is it totally different now?

Ah I had a app simular to that, I hated it XD it never worked properly, so I just used a different machine they had to top it up instead

You make me wanna go to London so bad it’s ridiculous lol

I suggest metro bank as it’s easy too and you get your card the same day

hi i found you a few days ago. i like your videos a lot. have a nice evening today. :*
