Living in London is a dream. I fall more and more in love with this city everyday. It is still surreal to me that I have been here for almost a month. Adjusting to living with three other people was challenging at first, but I am glad that to be living with my friends. Sharing…
Category: UK: CEA CAPA London
Silver Catwalk and a Bar of Ice
A London Fashion show? Never thought I would be saying I went to one. This past Saturday, my flat mates and I (5 of us) went to see the Silver Catwalk show at the Saatchi Gallery. A beautiful venue on the outside, large white pillar (Greek column style). Walking in, everything was white! Designers set…
My Happy Place
This past weekend I spent the most incredible weekend in the stunning countryside in Wales. Not only was it the most amazing weekend I’ve experienced in the UK thus far, it was also such an amazing experience. I went through a company called Preseli Adventures with two of my flat mates and I can honestly…
Other than Banksy
London is absolutely gorgeous. It disappoints me the more I live here to hear it reduced to an international metropolitan hub. The title strips the city of its humanity and culture. Westminster area is noted for its beauty while the rest of the city is reduced to urban sprawl, too many people in not enough…
Down the Rabbit Hole
London, with its magical Underground that whisks you off from station to station, is more akin to a microcosm than just a city. Considering that a third of its 8.5 million population was born overseas, the city represents a merging of languages, cultures, cuisines, and arts that has no parallel within the country, and very few…
It is still so surreal to be here. I am settling in, getting used to the work and class routine, using the tube stations, etc. I am very comfortable and feel confident in what I am doing. The adjustment period has confirmed things about myself that I already knew (routine and rhythm), but it also…
Time Flies
I can hardly believe that I’ve already been here for three weeks. I suppose when I sit down and think about everything I’ve done I can understand how in just one week my first month will be over, but in the whirlwind of all things London, it doesn’t feel like three weeks at all. I…
Just a thought
I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately. I know this may sound a little repetitive since my pre-departure post was based on time as well, but now that I’ve been here for almost a full month, time is back on my mind. This all started a few days ago when I was on the…
Meeting Niall from One Direction!
My friend Ana and I decided to go to South Kensington for dinner, since it is only two tube stops away from our house. After dinner we were walking around when we spotted Niall Horan from the boy band One Direction. There was no crowd or commotion around him, which is what I would’ve expected,…
Just a Mid-Sized City Girl, Living in a Mountain World
She took the 9:15pm Plane, Going to Heathroooooow. Pardon my singing, but it’s been a long trip and I didn’t warm up. Let me start this off by saying I started this blog post on the plane while watching Inside Out. I can’t believe it’s only been ten days since that sleep deprived ride. Living in…
