Leaving Riga to Arrive in London

 

Traveling from one country to another is often filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The prospect of a new adventure, new surroundings, and new experiences can be thrilling, but the uncertainties that come with it can be equally nerve-wracking. In my case, our journey from Riga to the London area marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life, one that would involve settling into a modern and vibrant city, and making it my home for the next 8 months.

From our second-story flat, we have a picturesque view of a charming neighborhood. Our location is nothing short of ideal, situated just across the street from the central shopping mall, making it effortless to access all our daily necessities.  

Getting to work is a breeze as well. We were provided with a vehicle for our daily commute. The Europe North Area Office is a mere 17-minute drive away. The roads in London are notably different from what I am accustomed to in the United States. Driving on the left side and navigating numerous roundabouts was initially a challenge, but it became an exciting part of the daily routine. It is a testament to the adaptability and resilience we need to embrace when moving to a new country.

The weather, as expected, was quite different from what we had experienced in Riga. London greeted us with a lot of rain, a quintessential aspect of the city's climate. Yet, the silver lining of this rain is the abundance of trees and shrubs that line the roads and neighborhood, along with the magnificent autumn colors that adorn the trees.

In conclusion, leaving Riga to arrive in London by airplane marked the beginning of an exciting and promising journey. Settling into our modern flat, living in a friendly neighborhood, and commuting through the bustling streets of High Wycombe, a neighborhood of London has been a memorable experience. The autumnal charm of the city adds a special touch to our new beginning. While the transition brought its challenges, it also brought with it a wealth of opportunities and a chance to immerse ourselves in the vibrant tapestry of life in England.Top of Form
