Next Stop… London.
After a summer full of traveling and exploring, my friends and family must all think I’m crazy to once again be embarking on yet another foreign journey.

One Week Later
My semester abroad is over. I’m not in London and not in Spain or anywhere else across the Atlantic but I am back home in New Jersey. I have loved getting to see my pets again. Both of them were thrilled to see me as well as my friends who were equally as thrilled. It’s…
