Hello lovely people! In this episode, I chat with Judy from Tehran, Iran. She shares why she switched from Tinder to Hinge and how her relationship with London began on a rocky note. Judy reveals two things you'll NEVER see in public in Iran but are common on the London Tube, and she discusses a pet peeve we can all relate to! We also dive into UK driving etiquette, and Judy's simple yet fulfilling day-to-day life in Richmond with her golden retriever, Godot. She provides key tips for anyone moving to London from a country like Iran with a different language and culture.
Judy was so fun and candid about her experience - an all round beautiful person with a beautiful story!
Let me know in the comments if you're still struggling to feel like a Londoner, or share how you finally started feeling at home in London.
And yeah, like & subscribe if ya want & thanks for watching xxx
