Today is the eight-year anniversary of the A Lady in London blog! It’s hard to believe it’s been so long since I quit my hedge fund job in San Francisco to move to London to see where life took me. If someone told me back then that I would be a professional blogger two years later, I wouldn’t have believed it. But it’s been a great adventure, and today I want to share some thoughts on how I got here.
