I've watched you fixing up your home on the island, surviving the pandemic, move to London and then move to Korea and I wish you all the best with whatever is to come ❤

[jacquiheywood]

Thanks for being honest. Most foreigners who live and vlog in Korea, don’t mention some of these things,

[BThirstyPretzel]

Aww when you got upset it just broke my heart. Thank you for being honest and vulnerable with us. I've loved learning about living in South Korea from you and your videos. Excited to see what happens next with you, Hayley, and your doggos. Safe travels.

[lisaschreiber]

❤ I hope you both are incredibly happy wherever you settle.

We honestly do not realise how lucky we are to live in the UK IMO. I lived in a couple of other countries and the things you mention about Korea were true in those countries too. My biggest shock was living in America, where although you are supposedly protected by anti discrimination laws you definitely suffer from discrimination because of our race, gender or sexuality. It's just that people are good and hiding their prejudices there due to people being so litigious there. I think I was so shocked as because we look alike and speak the same language we expect the people to be just like us, they are not! I am glad I had my experiences of living abroad over a couple of decades but I am now happily, and permanently, back in the UK. I wish you and your lovely wife nothing but great things on your journey through life together x

I am so sorry that you had to witness the Haloween incident. Its cleary visible that it affected you greatly. On another note, i wish you both (or 4 ;-)) all the best for a fresh start in the UK!

I am Italian, but I have been living in the UK for 10+ years. I had never been to Pride before, I hadn't even come out yet, so my only experiences have been at super huge Pride events like London and Brighton. In 2023 I was so lucky to attend Pride in Seoul (I came to SK a few times over the past few years, I love the country) and it was such a crazy, humbling but also empowering experience! Of course, it's different from Pride in a country like the UK, I had never been part of a parade with police around to keep you safe for example, but the people I met were all amazing. I have only great memories from that day. But I do get your point completely, as an Italian I wouldn't even live in my home country, let alone a country that has almost fewer rights than Italy. Anyway, love your video and love hearing you chat! All the best, moving is always a crazy adventure :")

Really interesting to hear about the realities of living in Korea. You need to feel safe, go and be loved up at home and see lots of your lovely Nan. Thanks for sharing, your videos are always so great to watch xx

[nova-caine]

i live in new zealand and felt so seen when you talked about feeling isolated on an island during covid. the second i could i booked two different vacations overseas withinn 2 months of each other! all the best for your next chapter <3

[Scriptorianaut]

For what it's worth (regarding another comment), your audio quality has never bothered me! Although it never hurts to upgrade your equipment when possible, but I haven't noticed/cared about a microphone in previous videos.

[shelaghjackson]

Best of luck with the move! Looking forward to seeing your channel as you both settle into the UK. Back to your own house?….with the pink fridge!😊

[KK-yrvc]

I had forgotten that you were based in South Korea recently, I've just booked flights to go visit there! You have me convinced to check out a Daiso 😊 Hope your move goes smoothly and that you and your little family feel safer and more recognised wherever the world takes you next ❤

[DaintyDiaries]

Wishing you both safe travels as you head back to the UK! What an exciting new chapter ahead—may it bring you all the joy, adventure, and happiness you deserve. Sending lots of love for this fresh start! xx

Hi Hermione, Thank you for being honest. Wishing you all the best and safe travels ❤❤

[thinkingbout]

I totally get why you didn't film much while packing. Even though it seems effortless for the viewer it is a thing on top you have to keep in mind while making important decisions (camera angles, moving the camera with you how to sit in order to be seen properly) and it may hinder you in your ability to move freely. And that sucks if you don't have that much time and need stuff to get done! So no need to apologize for not showing much :)
And thank you for your honest view on living in Korea. I'm sorry to hear you've gone though such a horrendous situation and am glad you made it safe though it and are better now! ❤

[mariannerady]

wishing you all the best for the move, hope the long journey will go smoothly for all 4 of you💚🏳‍🌈

[InshasChoice]

It's crazy how much has happened since you moved to Korea. You can say you're embracing life and making the most out of everything. It's inspiring for sure. And thank you for sharing it with us 🙂💜
