A Little Culture in the City

Hedda: Oh courage… oh yes! If only one had that… Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.

--Henrik Ibsen

In my quest to take in as much theatre as possible, this weekend saw the appreciation of a little culture. Where else in the world can you visit a working palace, ancient houses of parliament and see an Ibsen play all in the same day? Must be London.

 

In my quest to follow my own path and do what's right for me I also exercised a little courage this week in giving notice to quit my job here in London. It seems as though this whole year has been one of change and there is only more to come as I will have 2 more months of work and then be heading home to Canada at Christmastime.

 

It wasn't really that long ago that I arrived in London looking for work, a place to live and a life to create for myself. As much as I will be sad to leave this gorgeous city and all its incredible culture and sophistication in a few months' time, I also feel the need to go home and sort out what the next direction will be for me. I've really been going hard since I arrived here and plan to pack in as much adventure as possible over the next few weeks and months. I've already been so inspired, amazed and rejuvenated by this adventure and this city in so many ways that I feel it's time to use this new momentum to carry me forward.

 

That said, I will sorely miss the land of tea and scones, classical theatre and beautiful buildings. Which is why I've been trying to really be present on these gorgeous autumn days in Londontown - walking through the park, drinking tea and breathing in the brisk British air.

So bring on October and the month of Mega Adventures with all the amazing memories that are sure to be made!
