How a month of travel made me appreciate life in Britain even more | American Abroad

I'm American, and I always will be. But a month back in the US gave me a fresh look at the version of life I actually want to build for my family — and it made me appreciate Britain even more.

This isn't a "which country is better" video. It's an honest, unscripted chat about the things the UK quietly gets right, from the perspective of an American who's built a life here.

Highlights include:

🚶 Not needing a car to get around — walkability changes your whole relationship with your neighbourhood🏠 An appreciation for smaller homes — and why "enough" beats "bigger"
🌳 Access to green space — parks, paths, and nature woven into everyday life
🤝 A sense of community — the contrast I felt most on this trip

If you're an American thinking about moving abroad, or just curious about the US vs UK quality of life, this one's for you.
