Oh, Mara, now you’re making me nostalgic for when we lived in London. To think, you and I were actually in the same city at the same time and we didn’t even know it! In Autumn 2003, I had just finished my masters and was embarking on my new job at a financial magazine. And to think, I regularly used Angel Islington station to travel to work. We could have crossed paths on that escalator for all we know…

Victoria – makes me very happy to know I”m pleasing the locals! We may be in London next summer – although it sounds like you may not be

Megan – thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll find some resources here to help you out. We definitely travel on the cheap. I’m thinking of doing some posts on that very topic soon.

Mara,
Just discovered your inspiring site! You are a woman after my own heart. My project this year: to figure out how my family can still travel and see new places this year on a shoestring budget

My brother lives just around the corner from Stokey (I'm in South London, Battersea) and it's lovely to hear such a glowing write up from someone who lives the other side of the world now. It's a fabulous post, and sums up what London's about for me. Your description could be transposed to many different residential areas of London, we all have our own mix of nationalities and cuisines. If you ever need any tips on what to do with your boys in London when you bring them, let me know! .-= Victoria ´s last blog ..Bambi =-.

Amy – renting an apartment/house is really the way to go in many European cities – I love finding a great neighborhood and parking it.

Lora – that’s a great description – it *does* still feel like home.

Taylor – welcome! Thanks for stopping by.

Carolina – we are so on the same page. I’m firmly of the belief that if I have a good place to get coffee and pastries I don’t really need much else. Perhaps that’s why Paris is my favorite city in the world?

I love all this coffee/tea and pastry talk. I feel very passionate about this topic.
It is cool that you get to immerse yourself in a neighborhood and make it your “own” even when you only get to visit it again.
