Today’s my first full day in London! Today I worked on updating and uploading new images to my website, you can see my new images from my time at Lifetime Brands Inc. under the Product tab, in the main bar at the top of the website! I’m so excited to share that work with everyone. I also gave the About section a much needed update.Then I took a walk at lunch time to get a coffee at Jonestown Coffee, took my latte to go and walked around Shoreditch to look at some street art and pop into some shops.
So how did I end up in London you ask? A couple of months ago, I decided that I’d move here and in with my boyfriend, Evan, on a tourist visa. Big step! I left my job (which was very hard because I really loved working there and I worked with a great group of people), subletted my apartment, left my friends and family to start over new. But, I’m also so excited to be here and can’t wait to see what the next 5 months bring. I’ve already got a trip to Morocco with Evan planned in April, I’ll be visiting my sister in Austria, and going to a beer festival with Evan, his sister, and her boyfriend in Copenhagen in May. it’s all very exciting. I feel so lucky and privileged to have this opportunity come my way. It’s kind of wild (exciting and a little nerve racking) to have the whole day to myself, and all of London to explore. I really benefit from structure and a schedule, it’s weird to think I don’t have to go to work everyday. Don’t get me wrong, it feels nice to sleep in on a Tuesday morning, but you know what I mean. I’m so excited to gain from my experiences and put it into my photographic and design work!
