Our First Trip Back to the USA Since Moving Abroad

We recently went back to America expecting nostalgia, homesickness, and a bit of uncertainty about our decision to move to England. Instead, we were surprised... Not by what we missed, but by how we felt. In this episode, we talk about the days leading up to the trip, what we thought revisiting our recent past might stir up, and the moment halfway through the week when our perspective quietly shifted. We were struck by just how big everything feels in the US (especially when driving), the cost of groceries, and—of course—the weather. We did everything we set out to do: Disney, the Orlando Science Center, performing comedy, and even a visit to our old house. And yet, through it all, something had changed. What we came away with was a simple but powerful realization: where you live matters less than the community you’re surrounded by. Stick around for Brett’s exclusive wedding reception dance moves, our thoughts on the latest series of The Traitors, and something about lipstick on a vicar’s teeth. We had a great time going back and experiencing the kind of week we once imagined before THE BIG MOVE — and this episode captures the moments where we realized why coming back to England felt like coming home!We are glad you're here!-Gemma & Brett
