015 Why Do You Put Beer In The Batter? - RITA ABREU talks about The London Pull

RITA ABREU is a photographer, a writer and a multilingual tour guide in the UK. She was born and brought up in Portugal and from an early age she has been fascinated by maps and travel. After University, Rita moved to Lisbon, then to Ireland and finally to London, and through her work as a tour guide she has travelled extensively throughout the UK and abroad. Although Rita moved out of London for a couple of years, the pull and energy of London has brought her back.

 

THIS IS RITA’S UNIQUE STORY ABOUT LONDON, THE WORLD AND LIFE.

"It’s about being curious and open,

And immersing yourself,

And being curious in the way, ok, how do you do this?

You can compare it to yourself,

It’s more about, show me how you do this, let’s do this together.

And also, why do you put beer in the batter for fish and chips?

Why do you have Sunday roast every Sunday?

What makes British be British?

The discovery, this childlike curiosity, of seeing things fresh.

I think London changes you a lot,

If you want that change, it changes you,

The energy, the pull,

If you want to make something happen, you can.

In the middle of foreigners you feel home."
