Hello from London!
It’s been a really busy trip. I’ve been doing 18 hour days, with very little breathing room between meetings and conference calls. Oh yeah, and there was this dinner at Jamie Oliver’s Barbecoa. You may have heard of him.
It was awesome. Love Jamie!
So I’ve been pretty much indoors the entire time, seeing the city mostly via taxi rides… and yet I’m totally in love with it. There is so much energy; so many different neighborhoods. I love the quaint coffee shops and boutiques (had coffee + flapjack from a sustainable fair-trade place this morning), the super modern office spaces (seriously, I thought I was in the future when I visited our bank’s building yesterday!!) and the old charming houses. I kind of want to move here!!! (By “kind of” I mean “really really badly” but I’ll stop dreaming once I land home again).
It’s raining now (booo) so my plans for a walk around town may never materialize. Maybe I’ll duck into another little coffee shop later in the afternoon and start making my 30 by 30 list. You know I turned 29, right? The clock is ticking!!
What would/have you put on your list?


I hope you get a chance to enjoy the city some while you are there! I’m curious to see what is on your 30 for 30 list!
enjoy London!
I didn’t have a 30 by 30 list, but am curious to see what is on yours!
I too love London although the weather there is truly awful. It’s funny because I’ve always dreamed of living there but my good friend from college is married to a Brit and lives in London and makes it sound less than glamorous & wants to be back in the states so I guess everything is always greener on the other side! I’ve just always loved the British charm.
I would have travel to London on my 30 by 30 list!
Have fun in London! Don’t work too hard
Hmm, some ideas for mine: go overseas (London’s a nice idea!), get married, have a kid
Strangely, I don’t have many others that I “need” to do by 30…
I am just catching up on all your posts since you came back from your break! I am really glad you decided to keep blogging. You really keep things real and I enjoy reading your posts! Hope you have a great time in London. Its such a fabulous city!
I’m still working through my 30 by 30 list.
such a cool experience!!
umm, i wish i had done a 30 by 30 list, but i did not… and with two months to go i’ll have to let it slide
You are so young! Enjoy it! 29…. Wow. I just turned 40. Man, hard to even type it. :/
In a nutshell – enjoy your youth and beauty! My 30′s were great
