For many, freedom is the ultimate goal in life. The highest aim. The freedom to explore, to make our own choices, to push the boundaries. To be, who we know in our heart of hearts, we can be, if only the world would let us.
Jordan DaviesPublished 7 years ago in WanderHow to Live Like a Local In London
When you’re visiting a new or unfamiliar city, it can sometimes feel a little difficult to really get to grips with the place within a relatively short period of time.

Aromatic scents and even the smell of oriental food hang in the air, enveloping you almost everywhere you go.
