US Expat living in London
Budapest was on my list so I added it to my itenerary for this December trip. The best way to get there, I decided was to take an overnight train. For about £90 I secured myself a single bed cabin (with my own toilet and shower!) plus snacks via Polrail. The Chopin is an overnight... Continue Reading →
I get a lot of questions about where is best to go in London. I'm going to try to add to this list as I find more great places to go and things to do but here's what I can think of right now. Firstly it's important to know where you'll be staying - I... Continue Reading →

I live in a spot that's not terribly close to a tube station. It's 15 minutes walk one direction (OLD STREET) or 20 minutes to... Continue Reading →
After sleeping like the dead the night I arrived I met up with two of my lovely friends over at Victoria Park. We took a nice hour and a half stroll around it before heading back to one of their flats after the weather took a turn. There's just something so great about sharing charcuterie...

The last 2 months have been some of the absolute craziest of my life. I feel like I basically went to sleep after I accepted my new job, and woke up in London a month later. So much stress has happened in the last few weeks and I think I've essentially blocked it out. Which... Continue Reading →
