It’s been sort of difficult trying to sum up my whole experience abroad in London. The first week coming back to the states had to be one of the toughest things. I know, it sounds like such a cliche, but my study abroad experience has really changed me. I can say that being in a…

More to London
I can’t believe there are only 3 weeks left of the semester! It has flown by so fast and surprisingly, I’m not ready to leave! London has been an amazing experience for me personally. I’ve learned so much about the city; London is nothing of what I imagined it to be. This city is a…
Felling Like Home and Food Galore!
So after my first 5 weeks, London is starting to feel like a second home. I’m adjusting well to this new place- especially public transportation which was a huge fear of mine the first week arriving, but now it’s a breeze. I am now out of my comfort zone where I can explore outside of…
London Town
A month abroad already!!! To be honest, the entire experience is still most surreal. It’s been something of a struggle, to find myself in a place so unfamiliar, and to have such an unpleasant time-difference between myself and my loved ones, but overall the experience is proving quite positive. I don’t know why I didn’t…
I See Skyes of Grey
So after my big week of traveling, I was really looking forward to a weekend lie-in. WRONG. Remember back to September when you thought trips every weekend would be fine? Remember that? Yeah, don’t bother unpacking; it’s time for Scotland. Up until this week (and even now), the weather has been rather extraordinary. The sun…
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…
Stages of Preparation
I’m supposed to be nervous for this, right? Funny thing is, I’m not. At all. This is my first time off the continent and I can’t wait to get a move on. Other than the daunting 9 hour plane ride, I’m all grins. Thinking this a bit odd, I scouted the CAPA (and other study abroad…
Easter in Germany
This Easter I got to spend the holiday with my Aunt Katrin, Uncle Jackie, and my two cousins Lina and Gatlin. My uncle, who is my dad’s oldest brother, has been living in Germany for as long as I can remember. It had been a couple of years since I had last saw them. So…
Finishing the Chapter
I can’t believe that my time in London is now coming to an end.It seems just like yesterday that I arrived here, eager and ready to begin a great adventure, and now it is time for me to say goodbye. It doesn’t seem right or fair. No, I refuse to call this a goodbye, for…
Spending springtime in Scotland and Spain
While I am an advocate for traveling to other countries while abroad, I highly recommend leaving amble time for exploring your host country. London is a multicultural city where numerous languages are spoken and diverse British accents can be heard. From Covent Garden to Maida Vale, Kensington to Camden, the neighborhoods of London have their own unique personalities and treasures…
