How I moved to London without a job as an American (HPI visa)

In this video I'm sharing my experience of how I moved from the US to London, UK under the UK High Potential Individual visa. I moved to London with no jobs, no apartment lined up, no friends, and no family. If you're about to move abroad, then some of the processes that I shared here will be applicable so I hope that you'll find this video helpful! Thank you for watching!
