I’ve seen Coldplay play in Vancouver and at the Pemberton Festival in Pemberton, B.C. Now that I’m heading to London for awhile, what better opportunity to see this amazing British band play in their home country?

How I did it: I've always wanted to be more independent and live on my own in another city or country. To test the waters, I decided to travel on my own first. I planned a two-week trip to Europe -- the first week with a friend and the second week solo. Having a friend to navigate the city with during the first week really helped. Moving on to a new city in the second week, alone, was a little bit scary but exciting. It really helped to plan things… Read how I did it…
After two years of dreaming and contemplating leaving Vancouver to live in London, I have finally prepared myself to go. My visa is intact, my flight has been booked and London awaits. In a about two months, I’ll be starting my adventure in a whole new city. New places, new faces, new spaces. I’m looking forward to checking this off my life list.
Update: I’ve been living in London for over a month now and love it!
