About The Hyde's Florida Life
We're just an ordinary British family who packed up our lives and moved to Florida.
What started as documenting our visa journey has become something much bigger.
This channel follows what happens after the paperwork is approved.
The exciting days.
The ordinary days.
The wins.
The mistakes.
The moments that make us laugh.
And the reality of building a new life thousands of miles from home.
Whether you're thinking about moving abroad, already living the expat life, or you're simply curious about everyday family life in Florida, you're very welcome here.
We upload weekly vlogs, Shorts and honest conversations about life in the Sunshine State—all from our own lived experience.
If you'd like practical information about visas, moving costs, settling in and everything we've learned along the way, you'll also find free guides at hfl-usa.com.
Thanks for following our family's story.

One thing we've realised after nearly a year of living in Florida...
No place is perfect.
There are things we genuinely love about living here, and there are things that have challenged us more than we expected.
Neither of those things makes the other any less true.
This week's vlog is probably one of the most honest conversations we've had since moving to Florida, and we'd love to know...
What do you think makes somewhere feel like home?
The new vlog is now live if you'd like to watch the full conversation ❤️

I thought I was just buying a few plants.
Looking back, I was making this house feel like home.
When we first moved into this house it felt temporary.
Somewhere between getting my hands dirty, planting everything up and putting the bird feeder together, I realised we'd quietly started building a life here.
What's the first thing that makes a new house feel like home for you?

I hope you can all understand that sometimes curves in the road mean we have to prioritise us without having to share the why's and the where for's.
Working on a video to be out ASAP.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢
I'm sorry to any of our loyal, new or decided against subscribers!
I made a terrible editing blunder in this week’s vlog.
I have tried to explain how it happened above, but I appreciate that it is my fault and whilst timing was the reason. I should have paid more attention during the editing process and took into account that we were contradicting our own conversation within the vlog.
If you have been watching us a while you know that is not our style. It was a genuine mistake on my part in trying to get the vlog out on Saturday and rushing to get the vlog finished, exported and uploaded. As we were going out with friends and I wasn't done with the edit.
It will never happen again like that. I would rather the vlogs are delayed than risk offending or upsetting any of our subscribers.
Sorry again! 😔
