Being an expat is fun and it will not be easy to go back to my home country in a few months.
You see, being an expat is dangerous. At first, it is scary and all you want to do is go home, but soon enough you get over that homesickness and start enjoying your time overseas.
Wow, the last few weeks have flown by. It feels like yesterday that my mum and dad flew in. I can’t believe it is their last day here tomorrow as we fly out in the evening to go back to NZ. I am going home for about a month as my sister is getting married.
On Tuesday we were shown around Cambridge by one of my brother’s friends.
We spent quite some time at the Fitzwilliam before moving on and walking around Universities. The Universities are so grand in Cambridge, it kind of makes me want to go back to Uni here now.
On Sunday I went to Borough Market in London. It took me a long time to actually get there (9 months) and I am so glad that I finally went there!

Wow, what a weekend I had! It was so busy but definitely one of my favourite weekends I’ve had in the UK so far.
London is my go to place on the weekend. It is busy and there is always something to do at the weekend. This weekend I chose to go to Piccadilly Circus – I wandered around for ages and had a fantastic time looking at the beautiful old buildings and the shops.
So, my dream has at last come true. I’ve escaped Clacton and am now living in London.
It’s in a place that is on the outskirts of London as I am going to be doing supply teaching in schools in South East London.
