Hidden Gem: Belfast
My spring break was absolutely amazing! I stayed in London for four days and went to Belfast for three days. While in London I went to the Motown Musical, Tower Bridge, National History Museum, Hyde Park, Mother Africa Circus, Church, etc. I am glad that I stayed in London for the first half of my…
6 Weeks In
For the most part, the homesickness has subsided, partially because my sister is coming to visit next week. Generally, though, I’ve really started to see London as my home away from home. I’ve developed close friendships with my flatmates and have gotten to spend a lot of time with them. I’m planning to get out…

Learning more about the Irish culture, meeting family, and making new friends has made this an incredible experience so far. Classes are starting to pick up and are really interesting.

My job consists of helping create private wine tour packages, writing…
Eating My Way Through Hong Kong
Aside from my usual order of the BBQ pork and rice at the school canteen, I have tried to explore the wide variety of food available in Hong Kong. My first “foodie” adventure started when two of my mainland China friends invited me and two of my exchange friends to a hotpot restaurant. Now I…
The Lock Up- Feb 25th
Many of the people reading this know that back home in the States I have been known to enjoy being engaged in efforts to promote the arts in my community. Whether that be through getting involved at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum or through my therapy and teaching practice at OCA, I have a fond…
