The city to turn a new page

London is one of the main places young travelers come to change their story.

Life is a blank sheet of paper. You can write on it or leave it but one day you´ll have to decide what to do with it. Not every sheet is written for the same reason, however.

Some people draw their attention to cash, or as we say in Spanish – ‘green’. Green-paper searchers are foreigners who come to the city to earn money as their main objective. If you are of this type, you probably don’t know where to find Camden Market or Portobello Road and haven’t been to Soho more than twice. It may sound hard but avoiding these areas is the best way to save as much money as you can. Perhaps working 12 hours per day is the best use of your time.

after one month they have learnt the whereabouts of every single pub in Brick Lane – but don’t ask them about the closest library

Flyers – multi-coloured, floating around freely – are another sort. These are the people who announce one day to their parents “Learning languages is so well-valued in the real world, so I’ve decided to move to London”. Nevertheless, after one month they have learnt the whereabouts of every single pub in Brick Lane – but don’t ask them about the closest library. They consider themselves open-minded but they don’t care in which language the music is sung.

In reference to the third kind kind of person, we talk about another need. They leave their home country to make a definite change in their life, to turn a new chapter. Or even to find a new notebook to write on. These are the people who fight against the actual virus of the human being: the boredom.

Finding yourself in the midst of a bunch of punks, emos and goths may be hard work.  Maybe you don’t belong to any of the ‘urban tribes’ but sometimes you have to lose yourself first to find what you are looking for.  Go with the flow, open your mind, let yourself experience everything around you.  No one can promise you’ll see the future reflected on the Thames. Nevertheless, if you stay true to yourself and what you want to achieve, life will give it to you.

Here begins a journey towards discovering your ambition and London is the starting point.
