London

I will never forget the feeling of landing in London and finding scenes that I have only seen in my Student’s Book before.

London as a Remote Worker

My first visit was in February 2018. I went with my friend Facundo. We were both going to Australia, but we decided to stop in Europe because

I made a whole post about this London Winter Outfit.

If you were wondering, I got the one on the right. My idea was to review everything and then do the exercises, but my anxiety decided that I would take the tests and review the topics I failed on.

I was working remotely, so I visited Starbucks and other shops like Joe & The Juice. Also, some libraries and museums. I lost all my photos on my iPhone from that period, so some things only live in my memory.

My friend left for Australia, and I took a weekend off to visit my friend Manu, who was living in Oxford. She is the mind behind Verde y Consciente.

I had the English Breakfast for lunch many times.

This second-hand sweater was warm and cozy, perfect for the -11 degrees I had in Manchester. Unfortunately, it was 1kg, and I was traveling to Australia, so I had to leave it there. I still cry.

One morning in Liverpool, I visited the TATE Museum and found the *Roy Lichtenstein* exhibition. Incredible.

Traveling alone sometimes includes going to have dinner by yourself. It looks hard, but once you get used to it, you start enjoying your solo time.

In June 2018, I had a stopover in London and visited the city for 48 hours. I got a disposable roll camera and took some quick pictures.

I visited the Azzedine Alaïa “The Couturier Exhibition” at the Design Museum. A friend told me I would love it, and damn, he was right.

In the same museum there was a design exhibition, I had to visit it.

When I found “My First Sony” collection I had to take a picture, I felt we were matching.

Visiting a friend in London

In August 2024, I went back to London to visit my friend Lelu.

While scrolling on Instagram I found out that Sophie Hird was at Selfridges upcycling football shirts, and I had to get a shirt customized. I love the result!

With Lelu we met Lucila, another argentinian friend, and we went shopping. We visited some shops but my must-visit from now on are TK Maxx and Bravissimo, my new favorite shop to get unique bras that are actually my size. I made a full blog post about choosing the right bra size. I highly recommend it if you are a cup D+. That night, we all went together to see one of my favorite bands from Argentina: Miranda!

I feel this post is a mess, but I will be able to make it better next time, thanks for reading!

With love
