I have grown accustom to London and its many quirks of public transport, crossing streets, and being okay with splurging on hot chocolate every now and then. I’m coming down to the wire in London and I’m doing my best to cross off things on my “Sights to see” list everyday as I am running…

Traveling around Europe
As I settle back into my little flat in London, I have taken the time to reflect on my fall break and the experiences I have had. I was lucky enough to visit a bunch of places in Italy and Spain. Here are a few tips I have learned while traveling around for Europe for…
Mid-Term Update: Fall Break abroad
This past week was Fall break, or the much anticipated week long break in the semester following mid term exams. I was lucky enough to get beautiful weather and hop across Europe with ease to Barcelona and Mallorca thanks to RyanAir and my european citizenship. Once I again I was able to jump into yet…
A Foodie in London
A Foodie in London As a truly global and diverse city, London has an endless amount of restaurants to satisfy any of your cravings. Your options range from the traditional English meals of meat pies and fish & chips; to the nation’s unofficial official dish: curry; and popular Italian and American dishes that are recognized…
Approaching Halloween, the end of spooky month
October has been a strangely repetitive month for me, but in the best way possible. I’ve always hoped I would find my sort of niche while abroad, and I have (a style of photography that is mine, solidifying my collage flair, going to shows alone but having a great time), so being repetitive about it…
First Month in London
Living in London is a dream and my adjustment to the British lifestyle was almost too easy. As someone who had very little experience living in a big city and navigating public transportation, I was pleasantly surprised to find London’s tube system straightforward and easy to use. I have met so many genuinely kind people…
Time flies when you’re having fun
One month down, two to go, and I’m already sad about leaving. So far, I have been loving London more than I ever imagined I would, thanks to my interesting classes, exciting internship, and awesome new friends. At first, I was really nervous to go to a different country knowing barely anyone, but it ended up…
London Update
Cheers! It has been just over a month in London and I am blown away by my experience so far. Not only have my cultural horizons been expanded, but I have been able to visit the city of Bath, Stonehenge, the Cliffs of Dover as well as countless nooks and neighborhoods of London. I may…
Visiting London’s neighbor cities: Statford upon Avon and Oxford
I had the opportunity to have a day trip to Stratford upon Avon which is the birthplace of William Shakespeare. In this calm yet lively village, I was met with an abundance of gardens and homes dating back to the 14th century. The streets had some homage to Shakespeare whether it was a statue or…
1 month update in London
It only took a month for me to adjust to the fast-paced life that is distinct to London. Even the streets of New York City don’t compare to the quickness of getting to and from and there is a general understanding of everyone who arrives in London that to not “embrace the pace” means receiving…
