5 British TRAITS I’ve Adopted since Moving to the UK as an American – Girl Gone London x HelloFresh

Ten years is a significant milestone for any expatriate, marking the point where the habits of a host country often begin to eclipse the traditions of home. In the latest video from Girl Gone London, the focus shifts to the personal evolution that occurs after a decade of living in the United Kingdom. Moving beyond the initial culture shock, this retrospective explores the five distinct British traits that have become second nature to an American living abroad. From subtle shifts in communication and the famous British reserve to a completely transformed perspective on the unpredictable weather, the vlog provides a nuanced look at the reality of long-term integration in 2026.

The documentary captures how daily life in the UK alters even the most ingrained personal habits. Girl Gone London explains the practical adjustments required to navigate British social circles, where irony and understated humor often replace the more direct American style of interaction. The report also touches on the culinary shifts that happen over time, as local ingredients and cooking traditions become the new standard for a household. It is a story of adaptation and growth, showing that while the accent might remain, the internal rhythm of life eventually aligns with the heartbeat of the British Isles.

By sharing these reflections, the video serves as a thoughtful guide for anyone considering a permanent move to the UK. Girl Gone London focuses on the “micro-adjustments” that define the immigrant experience, such as the newfound appreciation for a proper cup of tea or the learned skill of never complaining about the rain. Whether you are a student planning a short-term stay or a professional looking to relocate for the long haul, this update offers a grounded look at how a new environment can quietly reshape your identity. It is a heartfelt celebration of the cultural exchange that happens when you truly call a foreign country home.
