Meeting Plymouth

So I know it has been a while since my last post...maybe too long. Sorry I'm not really good with keeping up to date on technology, I feel it's important to be in the moment rather than documenting it. Yet recalling good times and remembering good experiences are also important and allow us to hang onto those moments when tough times come.

Anyway, I think I'm feeling nostalgic now because I am about to leave Plymouth and head out onto more adventures. Let me talk a bit about Plymouth and how I have found a love for this strange rainy place. Here are my top few things I love about this place...

Firstly, as I was on the train ride to Plymouth, I traveled down along the coast. While London was great and I did enjoy it, the further I got away, the more green I saw the more peaceful my soul became. I love nature and being immersed in it makes me happy.

Secondly, I think working and living by the sea anywhere in the world is amazing and allows me to feel connected to nature. The views are spectacular!

Thirdly, the people. They are a happy bunch. They have a laid back view of life, which can be irritating at times, but still their kindness shines through more often than not.

 All in all Plymouth reminded me of Cape Town at times, other times of Durban South coast, and then there were parts that were unique to Plymouth. I began to feel at home here, I can definitely say that a piece of my heart will forever be here.
