After finishing my degree at the university of Portsmouth, I
moved home to the border of London. My aim was to get a job that I wouldn't
mind leaving in a year's time in order to go travelling before I settled into a
career. Therefore, I took a job in retail and slowly began paying off my
student overdraft. However, after one particularly interesting trip into
central London something occurred to me; I live on the edge of a City that
people travel from all over the world to come and visit. How is it then, that I
can have focused all my energy on travelling the rest of the world when I've
barely seen anything of the place I come from? The answer is we take for
granted what we have right in front of us and therefore, right then and there,
I decided I needed to explore London more- hence the reason (and name) for this
blog. Whilst trying to save every penny for my exploration around the world, I
will put aside a small amount of money each month to try and see a little bit
more of London. Not only will this year be dedicated to money making, it will
also be a chance for me to see what tourists see when they come to this amazing
City. London offers so many exciting avenues for exploration which up until now
I have somewhat ignored. However, from now on I vow to become a fully fledged, camera carrying, tube riding, tourist (minus the backpack).
