To be honest with you I've never liked being a tourist. Now, don't get me wrong. If you've been reading my blog for long enough you know that I love traveling and exploring new places and cities, however, I don't like the idea of visiting specific places and take loads of common photos.
Whenever I am visiting somewhere new, I like to walk around and discover streets or places that are not known as 'touristic places'.
Does that make any sense to you? I don't know, it surely does to me.
Now, moving to London was a huge improvement and a big decision for me and I knew that it would have been a busy and chaotic city – because, let's face it, it really is!, but I also knew I'd love it unconditionally.
And I wasn't wrong.
So, as much as I dislike going to all the 'touristic places', I found myself walking around central London last night and I suddenly remembered why I fell in love with this city five years ago.
The simple beauty hidden in all these places is something unexplainable, something that makes me happy whenever I feel sad or out of place.
Yes, London is my happy place.
Yes, I pretended to be a tourist yesterday.
Yes, I took loads of photos.
And yes, I've enjoyed it immensely.
I know exactly what you mean. Whenever I travel, which I love to do, I always try to find the small unnoticed things about the city. And yes, I dream of moving to London some day :)
