009 The London Bus Has My Heart - ABIGAIL CHAPMAN talks about The London Pull

ABIGAIL CHAPMAN is Canadian-Mexican and was brought up in the borderlands of Mexico. She joined Travelling Through in 2014 in its infancy as a barista and book sales assistant and is now an Assistant Librarian in the City of London while completing her Masters in Library Science. She was our star latte artist and along with many customers and friends, she supported me in the final weeks and hours of closing up the bookshop in June 2019. Although Abigail loves the rolling green hills of the UK, she says she would move to Japan in an instance given the chance.

 

THIS IS ABIGAIL’S UNIQUE STORY OF LONDON, THE WORLD AND LIFE.

“With the London bus, you get to see the city,

The bus has my heart.

London has a fantastic range of admittedly pretty high class street food,

It’s not your traditional… yeah… it’s high quality and it’s very good.

It still hurts me to pay £12 for five tacos in London,

Whereas in Mexico you’d get ten tacos for £2,

I’ll never get used to that in London.”
