Final comments
Be smart in your choices. I recommend to the fullest to go and try it, because you'll find another YOU. A better you. It helped me a lot in believing in myself more, boosted my self convidence, and had great, unforgetable experiences (including bitter and sweet ones.)It makes me more comforatble to communicate with people, which is very important for me. Not talking about traveling, and tons of pictures. I can provide some of these pictures upon request.

Personal spending habits
If I didn't go for spending more in overall aspects than I would've chosen to stay home in the same pace and speed of life. That's why I went away to explore more, ahich has its cost.

Personal comments
yes, My living expenses were way to more than what I thought, and what I was told to be. As per cost saving tips: Do not leave any money to be converted in London. Take most of your money in the Pound Currency because the converting issue killed me in the begining. Also withdraw fromn banks as few as you can because they charge you any time you make a transection. Follow and find the cheap good deals, and do not speed up in your decision. If you search a bit more you can save a lot.
