How to Survive Living in London
So, about a month ago I moved to London for the first time, full time. I'd been going back and forth from my countryside home to the city to visit my partner over the course of many months, so when we decided to move in together, I thought, well, this won't be that much different from just visiting, surely?Oh how I was wrong.London is a whole different ballgame once you live here and so that's why I've compiled a list of tips to help any newcomer get started in this hectic place.

Who Is Europe?
The question sounds strange, I know. You would expect a “What is Europe,” not such a personal pronoun—who. But the answer on how to identify Europe could be too simple, too strong the temptation to just define the Old Continent as the cradle of Western civilization and leave it at that. And certainly we can’t start from the EU, this messed up jumble of unrelenting bureaucracy and high hopes, to explain the present of countries that, despite their geographical proximity, have chosen to approach in very different ways this ambitious project of political and economic unification.

Paris’s Sacred Heart
As I reached the 299th step, my first thought was that I may never take a full breath again. My second, however, was that I had never in my entire life seen this exact shade of lavender. The sky stretched out across the horizon; a gentle blanket of gray woven with the warmest purple. Below us, Paris spread herself as far as I could see, rooftops and rush hour traffic bathed in the last glimmers of sun and the glow of streetlights. This vista felt removed from the chaos of the city, the faint horns of rush hour only audible in the lulls of the wind, the catcalls of passerby and the elbows of tourists a faint memory. Here, at the top of Sacré-Cœur, I completely understood how this massive cathedral got its name.

Pretty in Pink - Getting My Ruby Latte Fill at Elan Cafe, London
Every now and then I see something online and decide I want to try it. Pink Lattes are one of those things. Being a lover of all things Pink, London, Coffee & Cake dates, and the chance to try something a little different, I couldn't pass up the chance to try a Ruby Latte from recently opened Elan Cafe.

Tales of a Maldivian Girl in the United Kingdom
One of the many perks of traveling abroad as a tourist, a student, or whatever is the thrill of experiencing the new atmosphere, meeting new people and seeing different things. Well, at least for me; traveling to the United Kingdom as a student has been one of the best trips of my life and it had been life-changing. After 20 hours of traveling from the Maldives with two transits all by myself, I must say, it gave me self-confidence and drive. My transits in Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam gave me time to explore a bit and I enjoyed every second of it, and I was able to avoid getting lost and getting on the next plane on time.
