This weekend I made a trip to Scotland. I have a friend who is currently studying in Glasgow, so I decided to stay with her for the 3 day weekend. When I booked my flights, I never realized how time consuming it is to actually get to the airport. I left the house at 4am…

Bonjour! #ParisWeekend
This past weekend was unreal, going to Paris for the weekend was something I never thought I would be able to experience. One of my favorite activities was biking through Paris. Riding on the roads and getting to see many famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame was awesome. Also, riding on…
Into the English Countryside
Despite using my previous post to tout the virtues of staying in London, I am as guilty as anyone else of using my weekend to take day-trips to explore England. Nothing is quite as relaxing as napping on a tour bus while taking a two-hour journey out of the city. One of the benefits of…
Weekend in Istanbul
Yes, you read that right. This past weekend, my best friend and I made a quick stop in Istanbul, Turkey. It would have never crossed my mind to experience this wonderful place, but there are absolutely no regrets in going. The week leading up to the trip had been very stressful and trying. I had lost some…
London Baby!
Fall is here and it is gorgeous. As a native Floridian, I am excited to experience a “proper” Fall. Just like September, I know October is going to fly by. This past week has been super busy, but eventful! Last Saturday, I student rushed for tickets to see Jane Eyre at the National Theatre. It…
#SightseeingSaturday
Saturday, October 10th CAPA took us on a day trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon and Kenilworth Castle. I always love day trips, so I knew this was a must! We took a little over 2 hour bus ride to Stratford-Upon-Avon… aka William Shakespeare’s birthplace. This was a beautiful town, where we got to go in the home…
IBIZA IBIZAAA
This past weekend, I went on a trip to IBIZA, Spain with my roommates. First we all flew from London Gatwick to Madrid, then from Madrid to Ibiza. The flight from Madrid to Ibiza was a small, fun-sized plane in which we boarded from walking outside. As we approached Ibiza, I saw sunny skies and…
Free Museums are a Dangerous Thing
I think I’ve repaid the amount of my plane ticket from the US in free museum visits alone. I don’t know who decided that museums in London should be free, but they deserve their own bank holiday. And a parade. If you only have one day in London, spend it reliving the Great War. America,…
Work Hard, Play Hard
I am so glad that I have been keeping track of what I am doing everyday. Honestly, some days are so busy and exciting that I forget to update the note in my phone. It is fun to recall all of my adventures a few days after. And reflecting on my experiences through this blog…
Getting Into the Flow of Things
It’s official, I’ve been in London for over a month, and to say time has flown by is the understatement of the year. Days and weeks pass by seamlessly as I juggle between classes, work, travelling, and exploring London. Getting into a routine has undoubtedly helped me adapt to my new life in one of…
