Off and running....

It's been a big day, I moved from the hostel to my new flat and I landed a job! I'm the new Recruitment Assistant for Lonely Planet. I can't believe it only took me 2 days to find a job.

When I got ready to leave for London on Monday I was an absolute mess, saying goodbye to my parents and my sister was really tough. Then I found out that my airplane was delayed until the following day and I was actually happy about the delay, I really didn't want to leave. I ended up heading back home and was able to spend a few more hours at home with my parents and my munchkins. Feeling slightly less nervous I got on the airplane but starting to think that it was going to be a short trip instead of a long stay.

As mentioned before I hated the hostel so I found a short stay apartment, and it's perfect. It's quiet, has a full kitchen and everything else I need. It overlooks a very cute garden. So I am spending at least one summer in London, it's going to be interesting to say the least.

  2. Hi Alessandra - I actually found my job through an agency, it really is your best bet. I've been recruiting heavily in London the past 6 weeks, if you need a bit of direction let me know.
