What I Really Miss About The UK After Moving To Russia (It's not what you think!)

Moving from England to Russia has been an eye-opener! In this vlog from Nagatinskaya in Moscow, I walk the streets, grab a Russian craft beer, and get real about the few things I genuinely miss about the UK From proper pub culture and British banter to Greggs sausage & bean pasties (yes, really!) and the countryside walks. But honestly? Not much else. I feel safer here than back home (sarcasm on UK stabbings aside – it's just facts), Russian healthcare has been better for my asthma, and the unapologetic history preservation is fascinating (Lenin and Stalin statues in a craft bar? Only in Russia! I also chat about cultural differences like dry humor not landing, modern vs. Soviet apartment blocks, baked beans being impossible to find, and why Russian bakeries just aren't Greggs.
