A mum from Wales who started making TikTok videos to document her daughter growing up is now giving her followers a realistic insight into family life in New York.
She’s on a mission to show people in other parts of the world what it's really like living in the Big Apple, and it’s proven to be quite a culture shock compared with rural Cwmbran where she hails from originally. The family identify as working class, but have been living the life of their dreams in one of the most sought-after parts of the city- Manhattan.
Nicole Petito, 31, met her husband, Frank, 36 who is from Brooklyn, when she was visiting her sister in New York before the pandemic. After some time going back and forth between Wales and New York, she decided it was time to take a leap of faith and move there permanently in 2018. She then became pregnant with their daughter Aurora who is three-years-old and, feeling inspired, she decided to set up a TikTok account during lockdown to log what family life was like for them.
