As I prepare for the arrival of a dear and very American friend at my temporary home here in London, I brace myself for a hurricane of differences and learn so much about how different cultures embrace travel, holidays and life in general.
Above all, I remind myself to stay curious.
We may disagree about taking public transport vs Uber from the airport, but I’m sure we all agree that staying open-minded is one of the key elements of mental well-being.
With that, I’ll leave you to embrace the new year and the new challenges that might come with the same attitude I embrace my friend’s arrival: no matter what, stay curious and count the good things (and have some wine!).
