It had been a long time since I felt an adrenalin rush - and then I found myself steering a tiny, six-seater plane in Mexico.

Last week, when I was full of tacos and tequila, salsa dancing (ish) late one night in Mexico City, I was struck by a realization. I. Must. Move. Here. I felt a familiar pull to a brand new life in a brand new city, full of exploration and challenges and deep, deep breaths.

I'm leaving in two weeks for a three-month adventure. My plan is to visit the Surrealist Miro exhibit at the Tate Modern and then drink in pubs that serve savoury pies with friends in London.
