As a passionate traveler, sitting at home in self-quarantine is TOUGH STUFF right now! It’s only day 6 and I already miss hanging out with my friends near and far!
To help me stay feeling connected, I decided yesterday to hop on a video conference call with my British friend Graham Shellswell and have a chat about what his daily life currently looks like in England. I’m so glad we were able to record the interview and post it to my YouTube channel!
It was specifically fascinating to hear how England is approaching the novel coronavirus outbreak in a slightly different manner than we are here in the US.
On the whole, I’d say that both of our countries are making great strides and sacrifices in the name of flattening the curve, but there are certainly some nuances that I learned about where the approaches are different.
In addition, I learned what food staples were running low in British supermarkets, details about Britain’s National Health Service, and the fact that Brits don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with nearly the same vigor as Americans (MIND BLOWING)!
With that, I hope you all enjoy watching our chat and learning about another culture while we’re all stuck indoors.
Cheers!
