As some of you may know, I recently moved to London from Norwich, and I tell you, it was a fantastic decision! It was no secret that my boyfriend (a Californian native) and I had a severe dislike for the place - mostly because it was in the middle of nowhere!!! Seriously, it takes an extra hour to get anywhere from there. And whilst it hasn't been as smooth sailing as we had wished (problems with apartment etc), it still was a great decision to come here.
Neither of us have lived here before, and quite honestly, until I brought him here for the first time 3 years ago, I would never have pictured it being a place I was going to live. My impression of London was that it was this big dirty, busy place that was ok for a visit, but not somewhere you would would want to stay. However, when you go somewhere familiar with someone who has never been before, you start seeing that place in a completely different light - that's what happened to me anyway. It stopped being this unliveable place full of busy people with no time to stop, and started being this amazingly historical hub with a million and one different things to see and do. Since moving here, this has become even more apparent, and whilst I don't want to live here forever (cue my dream house by the Pacific Ocean), I certainly intend to make the most of it while I am here.
Which leads me to the blog. I love to go to new places and explore and I also love to share my adventures with others, so I decided to start this, not only to involve others in my mini adventures (I use that term loosely) but also to inspire me to go out an explore more. So hopefully, I can inspire at least one of you and maybe show you some sights of london that you may not have realised where around :)
