A cross-cultural marriage between an American woman and a Pakistani man is drawing widespread attention on social media, as the couple documents their everyday life in Pakistan. Taylor, who relocated after marrying her husband Akash, has been offering followers a glimpse into her new routine through Instagram and YouTube.
Now settled in a small Pakistani colony, she regularly posts videos that highlight everything from household chores to grocery shopping trips with her husband’s large family.
“I never thought I’d end up in Pakistan”
Reflecting on her unexpected journey, Taylor wrote, “I never thought I’d end up in Pakistan, but I am loving (most) of it!”
One of her videos begins with a playful caption layered over the clip: “Flirted too hard, now this is my life in a small Pakistani colony.” The light-hearted tone has resonated with many viewers who appreciate her honesty about adapting to a completely new culture.
From managing daily routines to shopping for a family of 11, her content sheds light on the realities of living in a joint household, a common cultural setup in Pakistan. Her videos also capture cultural adjustments, language mix-ups, and moments of faith that shape her new lifestyle.
Mixed reactions on social media
While a large number of followers have praised her openness and positivity, not everyone has responded kindly. Some critics questioned her decision to leave life in the United States and settle in Pakistan, with a few comments carrying racist undertones.
One supporter defended her, writing, “Imagine someone finding happiness in a different way with you and you rejecting it because of your own insecurities about whether you’re leading the right life. I bet she has more peace and sleeps better at night than any of the haters.”
Others expressed doubt about her choice. “It is so sad to see,” one user commented. Another wrote, “From everything to nothing.”
Building a life across cultures
On YouTube, where she introduces herself with “Salam G! Mera naam Taylor hai, I’m an American living in Pakistan with my husband, Akash! Our life here is full of awkward moments, funny mix-ups, and a whole lot of faith,” Taylor continues to chronicle her journey.
Through her pages titled Taylor In Pakistan, she shares stories of cultural differences, daily life challenges, and joyful milestones in her marriage. Her experience highlights the growing number of cross-border relationships made possible through global connectivity and social media.
