And Traveling the World
Spring has arrived in London! The daffodils are out in the parks and the days are getting longer and warmer every week. If you’ll be traveling to the UK capital in the next few months and want an insider’s guide to what to bring, here’s my spring packing list for London. These 5 things will help you pack light and arrive ready to live (and look) like a local.
I can smell the tarts before we’re inside. My mouth waters as the scents of cinnamon and powdered sugar drift into the street. The walk to Belem has been worth it, and now I’m ready for my reward: the renowned Pasteis de Belem. I’ve come all the way to Portugal to taste them, and no weekend in Lisbon would be complete without one. Or ten.
Today is International Women’s Day, and I want to do something different. Instead of talking about London or travel, women’s rights or gender equality, I’d like to share some personal stories with you. These are stories of women in my family that have inspired me and influenced my life choices so much that they’re the reason you’re reading the A Lady in London blog today.
I know what you’re thinking: a weekend in Leicester? And you wouldn’t be alone. Even the locals thought it was a bit odd. But I’m in this underrated city in Britain for two good reasons, and while I’m here I find a whole lot more to make me want to stay.
