He was a typical student who had just completed his master's degree: penniless and homeless. This is how Manolis Zografakis describes himself, referring to the time when inspiration "struck" him. The result is a survival guide to London, which in recent years has been the salvation of every immigrant in the city.
"If Rambo were a Londoner, he would definitely use this," says the team behind Broke in London, in their site description, where practical instructions are combined with humor. Whether you're a young man in London for studies, or just a city resident, it's a valuable survival guide.
On the website, one can find information about finding a job, housing, provides information about cheap ways to have fun and transport, has information about free events, and also provides absolutely useful survival tips in the city for newcomers.
It all started when Manolis Zografakis had finished his master's degree, was penniless and was moving from one house to another, with friends hosting him. When a friend informed him that his zodiac sign said he should turn this period of difficulty into something useful and creative, the idea came to him.
He took advantage of his experience from the endless search for work and housing and recorded all the websites he had "passed" on this journey. So, gathering all the useful information, he created his website that aspires to make life in London easier, of higher quality and of course cheaper.
