life in london – Il mio posto nel mondo

Hi guys!!

I know, I know, I said that I would have posted every week but since I arrived in London, I didn’t do it because I felt lost. Literally.

What happened to me? A lot of things but I don’t know why I couldn’t post them on social media. Thinking that my last picture on Instagram is from the 20^th of September and it’s now the 29^th of October, well.. I did a real social media detox!

It never happened! And not because I didn’t have things to say but because I felt overwhelmed! I think that the main reason is that I wasn’t in the right condition for me to write or do a video. The first two weeks (almost three) I was to my cousin’s house and my wardrobe was my two suitcases. Adding the fact that I found a job after few days that I arrived, the time to write or just being a tourist around the city was already not enough.

Nothing to complain, but for how I am, I need to find “my moment”, a couple of hours where I have everything under control and I can finally relax and stay at the computer. My first month here in London has been completely NOT under control because I didn’t have anything certain and I’ve felt completely lost. The only place where I could finally find myself it was at work. This was what actually “saved” me from not knowing anymore who I was.

And so, here I am. I’ve found that moment now.

Now that I also found a nice place to live, with my own room and an amazing view of the city! (If you want to see how I décor my room, have a look at my YouTube channel!)

See you soon guys, I’ll tell you better about the job and my new house!

My friends know very well that I can’t stay at home for long and a lot of them already knew that I would leave Italy again! LOL

To be honest I thought for real to stay here and move to Milan..I wanted to rent a room (or better my own flat!) and find a job in a PR and marketing agency! I have also prepared the resume but when I started to send my candidatures I realised that it would be quite difficult to find a job. Not because I don’t have the right skills or the attitude, but because I don’t have a lot of experience and at the same time I’m not in my twenties anymore.. And that means I’m “too old” to start now. Because in Italy the job market is different.

In Australia I had the feeling that you can change your career.. even if you’re “already 31”! The mentality there is different and the fact that you want to change can also be a plus, something more to add on your behalf rather than something that can put you down.

When I was in Sydney I studied marketing and I did some interesting internships but because of my student visa, I wasn’t allowed to work full time. This fact hit me a lot, I knew that I could do that job but because of a document my dreams were “broken”.
