In My Non-Expert Opinion Real Life Across the Pond: From Building a Business to Navigating the Dating Scene in the UK with Jess Dante, Founder of Love and London
211: Americans idolize the Brits. They have ROYALTY! The QUEEN (RIP)! The drama of Meghan and Harry! We love to slurp the tea that comes out of the UK, and watch British actors play James Bond or princesses or lead characters in hit romance movies (Hi Notting Hill).
If you’ve got daydreams of moving to London constantly swirling in your head, you’re not alone. But what does the immigration process actually look like? How do you meet new people there? Does everyone actually think Americans are annoying?
Lucky for you, today we’ve got Jess Dante on, the Founder of "Love in London," an incredibly successful platform aimed at helping expats adapt to life in London. Since moving to London with her then husband, she has embraced English culture and made it her mission to improve every travelers’ experience there.
Jess took her love of a place and turned it into an innovative business idea. She literally went from being banned from coming back to the UK to making London her livelihood. Bad-ass!
We’re talking immigration and business today, but I also wanted to know what her experience has been like in the dating scene. What it’s like going on Hinge dates in London? What are the biggest differences between the guys in London vs. America? If you’ve ever been curious about life over the pond, this episode is for you!
In this episode, we discuss:
- The immigration process from America to London
- The strain that living in a new place can have on relationships
- Should we address or ignore haters online?
- How Jess’s platform “Love and London” creates financial stability and revenue
- An inside scoop on the dating scene in London
