Why I started over in life & moved country in my 30s (Honest Vlog)

I’m so impressed that you quite literally just moved across the globe and you’re still creating content! Please remember to take time to rest and maintain your peace!

Dear Poppy, I see a lot of myself in you... Now I know I am not the only one who has not figured things out by 30. What you said about what happened in 2009, was spot on. When that happened to me I felt like my life was falling apart... Now I am back in my home country. My finances aren't that great. However, I've found my passion... I have done a little bit of everything. Was in providing facility services, sales, marketing, admin, tourism, and customer care consultancy... I recently joined teaching and love every bit of it. Now I realize it was falling into place, not apart... Love from Sri Lanka 🥰

I tried Florida. It was my dream too, the first place I ended up. I couldn’t take the heat in the summer! Lol. You are probably used to it from where you grew up! My late mum told me something invaluable before I left the UK: “Son you don’t leave your problems behind when go go somewhere else, you simply take them with you” Make sure Poppy that your problem isn’t a general sense of restlessness from within, since Utopia doesn’t exist! It’s always going to be a trade off! The weather is much better in Florida, than London. Although you might wanna change Drizzle’s name to either ‘Bernie’ or even ‘Hurricane’ I LOVED seeing him again! GOD BLESS HIS COTTON SOCKS!!!

You have to buy a lamp for the room. One of the switches on the wall controls whatever socket you plug that lamp into and it’ll turn on the lamp

Absolutely loving how you're sharing specific details and inner thoughts. Most people glaze over anything financial, so it's really refreshing. So excited to see how this progresses for you.

Hello Poppy, sending love from dubai. I recently came across of your Chanel and it made me feel that I’m not alone who starts the journey again. I really admire and appreciate how you helping me to understand it’s okay to take risk and start over in 30’s. I recently stepped in to 30’s but age is just a number. It’s uncomfortable yes and I really feel it cz I’m going through the same. I support women and it’s beautiful. Much love. 💕

Hey Poppy! This video was so about time. I’m in my mid 30-s, lived in 6 countries but thinking to move to another one again.. to start over from literally zero. Thanks for being so inspiring.

Congrats on moving and buying a new business! I would love for you to maybe talk about the process of buying an existing business. I'm currently researching and looking to buy one myself. I think it just makes more sense in a way because the original owners did most of the heavy lifting. So you are just taking over the process/or improving it.

I'm taking this a a sign because my husband have been considering moving to Florida for a while now so this was perfect timing ❤️

You're so brave for taking a a leap of faith and pursue a completely uncharted path. Being a generalist is actually quite amazing and I'm glad you get to tap into your accumulated knowledge and experience. I'm excited to see what's to come for you! <3

Welcome to the US. We don’t do lights on the ceiling fans because it’s such a harsh light overhead. We use table lamps. Those extra wall switches connect to the outlets the lamps plug in, so you can turn the lamps on and off. Hope this helps! 🏠💡

Thank you, Poppy! I am at the same point in life and personally find your videos so inspiring and insightful.

You are inspiring ❤ I love your calm demeanor

Thank you for sharing such pivotal time in your life with us. Content like this is really helpful and encouraging for someone like me, as I have made the decision to move states (in the US) very soon after feeling overdue for a big life change in my 30s. Good luck, and I wish you the best in your new life chapter! ❤

Your video really resonates with me so much.. Thanks for sharig your story and your encourangement. I am 45, born & raised in Austria, lived 20 years in Australia, and have been living in Spain for the last year. Like you, I felt there was a change needed in my life. Living in Australia didn't serve me anymore. While it is an incredibly beautiful country with lots of oppotunities, my wife and I were not able to create a lot of wealth & freedom for us. For the last 5 years or so, housing prices have skyrocketed - And because of this, we decided to move back to Europe. Moving to Spain has been really scary for me, because 1) I dont speak Spanish. I have been learning, but it is a slow process, and 2) I also wanted to change my career, and like you, I have been on the lockout of purchasing a business, because I am actually also a generalist, and have done all sorts of things in the past.. worked in IT/Tech corporate 9-5 for 15 years, was a restaurant manager for 5 years, and have dabbled wiith internet businesses doing sales and marketing. I feel like, I constantly need to reinvent myself :) It's exactly like you said, scary, but I simply cannot see myself going back to my old self... Congrats to you on moving countries and also getting into business almost at the same time! That certainly takes a lot of courage and discipline, so I really admire that! Wishing you all the best, and I am sure I'll be sure back to your channel to see more of your life updates. Kind regards from Mabella, Spain!

Damn I'm about to go to bed, but after tomorrow morning's jump rope session, and food prep it's nice to know I'll have this to look forward to while I'm eating breakfast. Your videos, and commentary on life help keep me on my path of trying to turn my life around. I'll be back with another comment later. Thank you buddy. 🙂

I’ve just started watching you and love your content! I hope you enjoy Florida!! I have lived in Jacksonville, Miami and now Orlando for almost half my life and hope it is a great change for you ❤

im in love with your channel, keep making these videos❤

As someone who is having a mid life? Quarter life crisis (36) I am constantly looking for content like yours. I sincerely feel like some people are just naturals at creating content and I feel like you could be a full time content creator / lifestyle vlogger. There is something very genuine and refreshing about your perspective. And I really dislike "influencers" because they tend to fabricate this perfect life that's not realistic. Your videos feel attainable, relatable, and I think there's still an untapped market for content like this,.

Hi p’Poppy. I am also Thai and currently lives in Canada. I’m sooo glad I found your channel! I’m extremely inspired by you. All the best to your big move naka!!
