Almost 2 years ago I made a decision to leave the only place I ever worked and lived (NJ / NYC area) to move to London for a new job. It wasn’t an easy decision as I had a good job and had just met the most amazing woman in the world in NYC we are now married :). I took some personal risk and went outside my comfort zone by moving overseas by myself and it has been the best decision of my life. While it has been hard at various points, it has taught me so much about myself. My wife, Katie, has been so supportive and we have enjoyed every second of travelling, experiencing London and of course the large amounts of time spent in the BA lounge. I have learned to love London. It is a place with amazing history, excellent food (yes there is) and so much to see and do. I love walking around on the weekend and experiencing the pubs, the people and the infectious British way of life. I still love NYC more than anything, but London has captured my heart. It is something that is hard to explain in words, but something you need to experience in person. It is bittersweet that I am leaving and I hope we (Katie and I) will be back at some point.
In the coming weeks, I will be writing short posts on London and my experiences here.
Cheers
