Found this quote while doing minimal travel research...

"You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford" - Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

My soundtrack to London.

Are you excited? Where are you going? How long are you going for? Are you going alone?

I'm interested. I'm going to London, Ireland and hopefully eventually all over Europe. I bought a one way ticket and yes, I am going alone.

Not that long ago somebody shared something profound with me that stuck, even though I can't remember the exact wording. He said that life is like a tree and the choices we make are the branches that determine which direction we grow.

Another question I've frequently received is, "why are you going?" Which I reply, "Why not?" I'm looking forward to seeing different things, old things, and meet new people with different stories and and lots of dry humour.

I just hope I can understand it all through the accents.
