7 Ways British Summer was a Huge Culture Shock (to an American)
Kalyn, the warm and witty American expat behind Girl Gone London, is here to spill the tea (literally and figuratively) on the surprising quirks of a British summer. Having spent nearly a decade in the UK, she’s no stranger to the cultural nuances that make the land of tea and crumpets so unique—especially during the sunniest months of the year (or so they say!).
From navigating the quirks of British BBQs to understanding why the phrase “nice weather, isn’t it?” becomes the anthem of summer, Kalyn shares seven culture shocks that had her double-taking as an American abroad. This video is an entertaining and insightful must-watch for expats, travellers, and anyone curious about the UK’s distinct take on summer.
