Profile photo for Vanessa Foudouli

I moved to the UK (London) when I was 27, to do a Masters degree - but to be honest, this was just a pretext: I just wanted to live in London.

Looking back, I would have definitely preferred not to have the exam pressure.

Apart from that - I wish I had travelled more within the UK. London sucked me in, and although it’s a magnificent city, I wish I had spent more time in other parts of the UK as well.

What I saw many people do that I would never have done: hanging out only with people from their own country. I completely avoided that (though naturally I met some Greek people, there are many in London), and got to know different cultures. In retrospect, I could have been even more social!
