The past two weeks, I’ve attended social media conferences in London. Last week, I was in good ole Blighty from Tuesday to Saturday (I added a couple of meetings on after the event); this week, it’s just a flying 36 hour visit. However, my experience has been similar on both trips: squashing into packed, sweaty underground trains; sprinting across huge roads; playing human dodgems as I get swept up in the fast-moving stream of people that flood downstream along the pavements… people, people, everywhere!
I love coming to London - I get inspired professionally every visit - but in terms of quality of life, it makes me realize just how far I’ve come. Not just from when I used to live in Blighty, but even from my time in Dubai.
