Testimonies

The Baller

Hello, my name is Aymeric. I’m a student and i’m working as well, I work in a store called FootLocker and I really enjoy my job. The only problem is that having a job and being in uni can be very draining at times.

Before covid I used to know all the places to go and have fun by playing ball with different people. But now that the pandemic is over and that life is starting to go back to normal, it is very hard for me to find a place where young ballers are all going to be gathered and play together.

I really wanted to meet new people as I used to do before and that’s when one of my friend told me about WalkInYourCity. He said that WIYC was an app that could help me find the best spots to go to on the days I wanted to ball.

I decided to dowload the app and this was life changing for me. Now I know where to go at any minute if I need to play basketball and that makes me so happy. It also helps me to find new parks and make new friends as well, I love this app.

Mike the explorer

Hi, my name is Mike, i’m 15 and i’m currently studying in college. If there is one thing in this world I love the most is travelling.

Everytime my parents organise a new trip I get all excited and want to know every single activities we are going to be a part of during the trip. I would like to be able to go on solo trips one day but my parents keep telling me that I need to be 18 first lol.

They trust me enough to let me go out with my friends on sunny days ( which we do not experience much living in London). But I do appreciate their trust and always try to bring a thing home when I go out in town.

Me and my friends usually stays in the neibourghood when we go out. But recently we’ve been wanting to visit the whole of London and know more about this amazing city. Thanks to WalkInYourCity, my parents are able to know my wherabouts without being worried. I post a lot of pictures when I go in central to let them know what we are doing. And also we’ve been visiting beautiful botanical parks in London which made me fall in love with flowers.

I should probably think about getting a career in gardening…

Lisa the gamer

Hey! My name is Lisa, i’m 22 and i’m a gamer, are you?

I’m always loved video games to be honest my family would probably use the term obsessed but I think is exaggerated…

Most of the time I’m home on my computer geeking. I do go out from time to time but I like my personal space much more. During Covid it was not that much of a struggle for me to stay in quarantine with my family, I actually enjoyed it because it made me spend more quality time with them on a daily basis.

But I’d have to confess that after lockdown, I had very bad anxiety going out and facing the world. It was difficult for me to have this transition from, being at home with 4 people to, being outside with countless human beings going left, right and front.

My sister talked about an app while we were all eating dinner with my family. The app was called WalkInYourCity. She said that it was an amazing app to discover new places in London, and helped people with their anxiety and mood swings. I decided to go out one day and use the app.

And eversince, I’ve been using this app when I feel like I need some fresh air and when I need to clear my head out. It honestly helped me with my anxiety and I would recommend it to all of the people I know for sure!
