London, 1 Month In

I've made it to the end of my first month in London and wow, what an experience it has been so far! When I woke up on my first morning of being in the UK it was snowing outside which was so magical! Everyone was telling me I wouldn't see snow in London but I've seen it fall twice now, so ha! If you didn't know already, I'm here as an au pair. I'm basically a live-in unqualified nanny, and in exchange for accommodation and pocket money I help out the family with the kids. The family who chose me have been absolutely amazing to me over the last month. I have felt so welcome in their home and have really made me feel like I am an extra addition to their family.

I'm Moving To London

I can't believe it is all finally falling into place but it is. I am leaving my home of Perth, Australia to head off to London at the beginning of December! My visa arrived in the post yesterday so everything is feeling very real now. This has been in the works since about April last year but only started gaining full momentum in July this year. And with my leaving date now under seven weeks, it's starting to feel more like a reality than an idea.
