Moving to Chicago alone 7 years ago was the best life lesson I could have given myself. Forcing myself into uncomfortable situations in a new city, with a new job, and no social footing made me grow as a person in so many ways. If you get the chance to force yourself outside of your comfort zone, take it.

This blog isn’t about that initial leap, it’s about a new opportunity has come knocking with my future husband, Michael. He was presented with the chance to move to Ireland for a year to support his company’s global expansion. The thought of passing up the chance to move abroad, experience new walks of life and explore Europe seemed insane – so here we are!

This month we’re exploring London. We have endless recommendations from friends and will be writing about our experiences here – although we’ll have a rough plan on our excursions, the goal will be to wander as much as possible and get off of the beaten path!

Looking forward to sharing our adventures. And if you take one thing from this, remember that opportunities are not endless. seize them!
