Welcome to The Hickson Diaries! 🇬🇧🇺🇸 On this channel, I share the real side of moving to the UK in midlife, raising a family here, and rethinking what I used to believe was normal in the US. Moving abroad completely changed my life in every aspect by highlighting the truths about life that I always knew but could never practice fully living in America. Some of the biggest culture shocks for me living in England still hit me every single day—especially when it comes to education, healthcare, food, but most of all- quality of life. I want to use my personal experiences as evidence that changing your perspective can change EVERYTHING!
