London always knows how to ring in a new year in style. Since I was little, I’ve always watched London’s dazzling fireworks display on TV – it’s the best in the world – but I’ve never been able to go and see them in person…until this year.
2020 is a big year. It’s a new decade. So if there was any year I went to see the fireworks from the prime spot right opposite the London Eye, it had to be this year. And I am so glad I did!
Welcome to the launch of Roam with Rakhee and to my first blog post! My name is Rakhee and as the name suggests, I love to roam! I live in London and since the age of 8, I’ve had a sense of wanderlust, so you’ll probably find me being a tourist in my own city, on a plane, or in a country somewhere in the world.
My favourite subject at school and college was Geography and then I went on to pursue this at degree level – it meant I learnt about the world around me and could travel as part of my studies including to New York and Hong Kong for my undergraduate dissertation.
I am now 24 and have visited 28 countries so far – the aim is to keep the number of countries I’ve travelled to higher than my age!
