On the 7th of January:
"Ten years ago on this day, before sunrise, a taxi picked me up from my house in Athens to take me to the airport.
It was really important for me to go to the airport alone, so I hugged my parents goodbye and got on the taxi.
I had a one-way ticket to London, and a bachelor's degree in music to do. I didn't know anyone in London. I secretly cried during the whole flight.
Ten years, 2 degrees, a lot of hardships, but also a lot of fun and a few odd jobs later and I've made some friends whom I consider family, and found myself an awesome partner in London.
Still struggling to survive -as London is not an easy place to be- but being here for all these years has shaped me into a stronger, wiser and more patient person than I was before.
Happy London Anniversary to me!!!!
Ps. And what a coincidence! Today, ten years later, I'm flying from Athens to London again."
