A Gen Z couple, Maisy Dewey and Harrison Kent, made the decision to leave the United States and move to London, where they now reside on a houseboat. Dewey, who holds dual citizenship in the US and the UK, and Kent relocated from Philadelphia to London in August 2023. The move was prompted by Kent's acceptance into Kingston University to pursue a Master's degree in furniture design. Initially, the couple lived in a short-term rental before finding a 65-ft widebeam houseboat, which they now call home. They signed a two-year lease for the houseboat, paying approximately $2,236 per month [2813c664].
Living on a houseboat has provided Dewey and Kent with a unique and picturesque experience. They describe their life in London as feeling like they're living in a children's picture book. Despite the higher living expenses, including public transit, the couple finds the experience worth it as they explore the city together. They have no plans to return to the US in the near future but intend to visit their families this year. Dewey shares their life abroad on TikTok, using the platform to provide a realistic view of moving abroad and living in London [2813c664].
