Today marks my anniversary of living in London for two years. It’s an exciting milestone for me as an American expat in London.
Living in London for Two Years
All day I’ve been thinking about my first day in this amazing city and how special it was.
I’ve been thinking about my Eurostar pulling into Waterloo station, my boyfriend meeting me with flowers, my dinner at Mint Leaf, and the moment in the taxi when it finally hit me that I’d achieved my long-time dream of moving to London.
Goals for My Second Year in London
On my one year anniversary I set out some pretty lofty goals for my second year of living in London. While I didn’t exactly tack them to the wall and track my progress on a daily basis, I think I did pretty well in accomplishing them.
I added a few more countries to my list, a few new UK cities, and at least four new restaurants with three Michelin stars.
I squeezed in a handful of zoos, a smattering of visits from friends and family, and an improvement in the exchange rate (I take full credit for that one).
I’ve attended one more wedding and I’ve avoided moving flats a third time, which is a huge relief.
Sadly, the one goal I utterly failed to accomplish was making a pet of my neighborhood fox. I guess there’s always room for improvement. Maybe next year!
