10 Things I Learn In London

"Our wandering is meant to lead back towards ourselves. This is the paradox: we set out on adventures to gain deeper access to ourselves; we travel to transcend our own limitations. Travel should be an art through which our restlessness finds expression" - Stavans and Joshua Ellison

London has indeed brought a new light to the way I see things and how I truly am as a person. I discovered more about myself and learned to be more appreciative of where I am now. Even if it's just a a week vacation, it has already thought me things that I will continue to live with each and every day.
