WAS MOVING FROM LONDON TO ABERDEEN WORTH IT? 

Hi TotallyTrousered. Aberdeen has been amazing, thank you very much. I will soon make another video about it, a year later :). And... it is common sense that Scotland is extremely beautiful :).

Wow, that is super sweet of you. Thank you so much :).

Thank you for such a heartfelt comment! I am sorry to hear that you had to change your mind about studying here, but happy to know that not all is lost. You are right about exploring Aberdeen on foot, by oneself. I do that a lot and it truly clears my mind and soul. You seem to understand and love this city. I'd say: what are you waiting for?!! You now got me curious about Dundee! I'll watch a few videos about it and perhaps visit the city in the coming weeks! Good luck with your decision!

@@legalitetongue3276 Aww thanks for your Reply, it means a lot to me 😊, Yeah in my opinion aesthetically Aberdeen is beautiful , I got such different Point of view about this city, As you said, grey doesn't mean Sad or Depressive place, I find the grey aesthetic of the buildings really impressive, when is sunny they sparkle, and when is dark day they get laced with the atmosphere And it makes the city seems gothic and unique, pretty european and charming, (but of course not the type of beauty that everyone values and it's ok) but also Aberdeen has a huge nature resources and green and wonderful parks, beach, The housing's quality as you said, (i made a research and FUN FACT!: those buildings in Aberdeen have last more than a lot of old ancients constructions in London, Edinburgh or Glasgow. The granite is So STRONG material, they stand a lot of external factors, anyway Aberdeen has a melancholic Beauty and for sure is just a place for introverts (like me), and the issue is that the majority of Scottish people has the passionate spirit, so they always would prefer a exciting place to have a good banter and hang out after work or on weekends with friends and family, (Especially young people) and this is because generally we get kinda bored in this little country, so that's why a lot Scottish people avoid Aberdeen cause "There's nothing to do there" no jobs, no opportunities etc Aberdeen is the type of city that only would fit on people who just want to focus on themselves, have a daily and quite life, in my personal experience being a Uni student I got enough responsibilities in my head and I had to admit that living in a place that is characterized as "bored" or "quite" it really contributes to the mental health and calm" anyway. My pleasure to share opinions with you. 😊

Most cities are corrupt especially the heart of London which is full of corruption from the so called Royalty establishment to the politicians the courts and the police establishments but its all over the UK. I know this has nothing to do with this video but I need to have a rant.

That is so good to hear! Isn't Aberdeen peaceful? I very much enjoy the distance between people (physically -- not crowded -- which allows me to walk in the middle of the street, sometimes. Hahaha. Welcome and keep up the good vibes! :).

Thank you! Scotland is indeed a delight. Good luck with your moving. 😎

Hi Baz It’s the smallest town I have ever lived in! Great for writing, not be bothered at all. Love the empty streets. I’m surprised by the amount of young people living here - not just students. I am still enormously pleased with the move! Thank you!

How sweet of you, Lesley. Aberdeen makes me really happy. Thank you :).

I am very glad to hear that! Good luck with your decision! 🤗

Thank you so much! :)

Ooh, how sweet is that! Thank you very much! ❤️

May all go well! Still enjoying the peace! Colder than England, though. Not a myth -- to that I can attest, now. 😄

Hi Clara. 1. It all depends on your motivation to relocate -- it needs to be strong, if you are used to a busy city/life. 2. Aberdeen is greyer on videos than in real life, especially if you are talking about the energy (people). Meaning that grey doesn't have to mean sad. 3. You can always travel elsewhere for greater fun. To me, home feeling has always been what Aberdeen offers me -- quietness. 4. Groceries prices always depend on where you shop and what you consume. I don't see an increase in my budget. 5. Housing in Aberdeen is cheaper and better than in London. This to me, is a huge factor. 6. I am not here for the job market as I work from home, for London and the world. It would indeed be difficult to find competitive jobs as one easily does in London. 7. To conclude: Aberdeen is perfect for loners, couples and families alike, who want to essentially live alone and for each other. My days are longer than when I used to live in London. Mostly because the stress and noise are gone. I hope this helps a bit. Good luck with your decision!

Yes salaries in Aberdeen won't compete with salaries London, however the costs of rent or buying in Aberdeen are so much cheaper leaving Aberdeen residents with a higher disposable income, upto 2019 Aberdeen was known statistically as the wealthiest city in the whole UK based on disposable income

... and good value for money on rent -- definitely. I love the personal space that one gets here, in the streets, and the fact that I manage to reach everything at a walking distance. Walking 40 minutes to my favorite grocery shop is agreeable. I am inspired to take driving lessons, though, so to enjoy long drives within Scotland. All in all, Aberdeen is beautiful to my soul :).

At least our grey is the weather, not the traffic fumes and the people (lived and worked in London for a year, would never go back).

Silver NOT Grey, Aberdeen is known as the silver city, the world famous Aberdeen granite was once worked in 32 separate granite yards and exported all over the world, There are several pink granite types found locally too

Hahaha! That is so sweet and funny! Thank you and Happy New Year!

Yes,so many international students !! Aberdeen University and Robert Gordon University.

@@official-throwbacks3555 My University Is RGU ..... & yours???

Oh and the weather, its windy and that makes it cold. Living there so long people forget that (including me!). A few days a year in the summer when its not windy its great though (which is no consellation).

How will she destroy Aberdeen? Lol!

@@legalitetongue3276 good luck in Scotland

It's a dump

@@daviel6595 So far so good. Thank you!

Oh dear I was thinking about moving to Scotland to enjoy a white culture again. I’m not racist it’s just I feel like I live in an African or Indian culture in London. As a white person I don’t feel like I belong here anymore.

There are physically darker places in Europe and even worse -- emotionally darker than Aberdeen. "Biggest mistake you could ever make" is quite relative. In my case, for what I was looking for, it was the best decision I made, considering my circumstances when I made the decision to move here. Regarding those statistics... I am mature enough not to be deceived by them. Aberdeen checked 90% of my boxes and that was enough for me to make the move. Now, will I live here for the rest of my life? Probably not. And that has nothing to do with vitamin D intake! Hahaha!

I thought it was Tong Ting....

Sweet words! Yes, it's a clean and peaceful place to live in. May your life remain blessed! Merry Christmas!
