I was in London (for but just a weekend) likely the same time as you!! Different vibes, as I had three small children with me, but we also took the tube and explored the city on the double decker bus and are our way around. It was so much fun. We visited Liberty London (myself and my second son are big Cruella fans) and took in a musical. Big cities are incredibly alluring because where else can we get a delicious ramen bowl and a churro within an arm’s reach but I also feel like they can seem so lonely to live in. Everyone is rushing, I don’t see the slowness of life, and nobody seems to know one another. Perhaps those are the necessary byproducts of everything being within reach! Cheers to your London trip! So loved ours ❣️ (also just wrote about it.. we traveled up north to Leeds and Chatsworth house!)
this came at the perfect time! I just booked a little trip for myself to Columbus—only a couple hours away lol—to push myself to start traveling solo more and it got me thinking about loneliness. I’m so lime green jelly you went to London! It’s definitely on my list. So far my favorite place I’ve been to is NYC. I haven’t been in over 10 years and I’m itching to go back. Your paragraph about falling into the rhythm of a new place reminded me of that. In NYC I was up from 6am to 11pm every single day, walking everywhere and taking so many trains and buses. It was so different from my regular life but I loved every minute of it.
