Back in 2015 I was travelling around Europe, the city I was wondering around in that time was London to be specific. As I am a huge fan of London because of the stories written around that beautiful place, the food, the people, the architecture, etc. I decided to start asking locals about stories they knew about, some of them were quite excited to tell me some such as, “hidden” places to enjoy marvellous food and have a sip of the best tea around town. Late, that week I recall I was leaving next morning to Prague so I had to get the best out of the city, I called a local guy I met earlier that week “Matt” was his name, we Met in the tea place near Thames River and after that we hang out all week long, the last day we saw each other he introduced me to his girlfriend and some of his friends to show me some underrated but really cool places around London like where to go bowling, the bakery they liked the most, restaurants with great and cheap food, the best biscuits artisan local shop, some Harry Potter film places, we even went to Cambridge that funny old morning. All of them I will remind them beautifully and some day I expect to see them again, they included me as if I were one of their own that is why travelling always gets the best out of people, you even return with friendships you will never forget about.
