ABOUT ME

Don’t expect a wild and glamorous girl living in London. My life is definitely not like the ones shown in shows such as MiC. I am a 30 year old female, who having lived in London for seven years, and successfully got through the trials of my twenties, wanted to do something pro-active and live my life doing the things I want to do. I am an ambitious daydreamer (always dangerous), hence some of my challenges are lifestyle aspirations. I want to share (and inspire) the fun, challenging and pleasurable moments with anyone who cares to read, in my own eccentric style. Finally - I want to explore London, review those places that don’t get a mention in magazines because they don’t have the right publicist. If you want a guide to London from the inside… look no further.
