London experience
Last year I won an Erasmus + Traineeship scholarship , so I packed all my things and flew to London for the summer.
I chose to attend my Internship in a law firm and I worked with Immigration law and flight claims compensation. This had been the best experience of my life.
First of all ,because for the first time in my life, I did everything on my own.
When I was younger I went to study in Spain for 9 months too but at that time one of my closest friends was with me and we had been a great team together. When I went to England on my own was, of course pretty different, but interesting.
I had nobody to ask for an advice: I started my adventure by renting a room and finding my way to work and at the beginning I was quite scared.
I quickly got used to my weekly routine, and in the weekends I started to go out with some of my colleagues. My favorite was Amy a Chinese girl that worked with in Flight claims department with me.
On Saturdays and Sundays I did sightseeing on my own and I had discovered very nice corners.
My favorite place was Cuttysark next to my flat near Greenwich, where I often walked by in the evenings when I was on my own and I wanted to listen to the buskers and eat an ice-cream.
I quickly felt at home and when my boyfriend came to visit me in August we had a lot of fun together discovering the rest of the City.
We are now talking about moving there permanently but because of the Brexit we are scared.

We are now talking about moving there permanently, but because of the Brexit we are scared.
There is some uncertainty at present about what will happen to EU nationals in the UK after Brexit, but I think the outlook is good if you come soon, before the proposed 'cut-off date' is announced, after which existing conditions are not guaranteed.
