Ciao McKenna :)
Io sono inglese e sto imparando l'italiano anch'io (I'm English and I'm also learning Italian)
I'm not great at Italian yet but I've found it can be really helpful to speak with people who're also learning to encourage and motivate one an other - send me a message if you might be interested in that! :)

E buona fortuna con il tuo apprendimento!

"Paradise" is a specific person's perception of a perfect place. Some might find paradise a place of beauty, calm and peace. Other's might find it a loud, party or something. It's subjective. However, "Heaven" is more of a unified religious concept of a specific idea of paradise. Often people relate it to the place their "God" resides and cares for, and it's often related to the sky. For example when people say "look to the heavens" they mean look up at the sky. So yeah, you're exactly right!

My trip to LONDON

My first trip.
I had been in London two days ago, I was there with my boyfriend for five days, to spend the New Year's Eve together in another country.
I had never travelled before, London had been my travel dream since I was eleven, and going there has been great.
When I got on the airplane I was a bit anxious but when the airplane took off I felt much better especially when I saw the clouds all around.
When we finally arrived in London, we suddenly took the underground to reach the hostel we had booked. We had some problems finding the hostel because it was badly located and it was distant from the center, but thanks to a good man who showed us the right way we reached the bloody (nice ;P) hostel, which was quite old and dirty. So we tried to stay away from it as long (or "for as much time") as possible, far from that house.
We visited the main London streets and we also visited many parks and the British museum.
The street that I liked most had been Camden town, it seems to me like a meltinpot, full of different things, shops and people.
We also went to bucking palace, to carnaby street, to green park, to embankment, to the tower bridge etc...
The thing that I understood is that you can never (or "can't ever") get enough of London, there is always something to do.
One of the things that I liked least was the food, so I usually go to a Starbucks to grub a sandwich or a muffin and a coffee.
It was a good first trip, traveling is fulfilling. It has been a great experience, and I can say that someday I'll come back there.
I truly recommend London to everyone.


Brava Amèlie, my corrections were nitpicky. The entire thing was understandable. Well-written! Nice to hear you had a good time!
Felice anno nuovo, e buona fortuna!

In this sense it means not to follow the person wherever they're going / whatever they're doing in their life! :P
