My Last Week In London Plus Returning Home

Image
PS this photo is from my first week in London Well all good things must come to an end and last week my time abroad came to an end. My time in London went by so much quicker than I anticipated it would, but I still had the time of my life and I am thankful for every moment. Since I had final exams during my last week, that took up some of my time, but other than that I was determined to use my last week to visit all the stuff in London I had not had time to see yet. On Monday I spent the day in Notting Hill. Sadly since it was a weekday Portobello Market was slightly limited but it was still so much fun to stroll through all the antique shops and stands. I also adored all of the pastel colored houses in the neighborhood , it was definitely very picturesque. Also this week I finally went to the National Gallery. I had been to just about every other museum in London but I had always missed this one. I am thrilled I was able to go because there is so much amazing art there from a...

A Chill Weekend in London

Finally a break! While I have had an amazing time during my travels these past few weekends, it was nice to stay in London this weekend. Even though this weekend was very relaxed I certainly did not waste it. On Fridays I don't have classes so I decided it would be a perfect day to knock out one of the many museums on my To Do Lists so I took a solo trip to the London Natural History Museum. Museums are the perfect places to take solo trips because you get to walk through the exhibits at your own pace and go to what interests you most. I adored the museum, I have been going to a lot of art museums the past few weeks so it was nice to throw some science and history in the mix...and dinosaurs, lots and lots of dinosaurs. Also worth noting is no lie I had the BEST tuna melt ever at one of the cafes in the museum! I spent Friday night hanging out with my roomie as well as FaceTiming with one of my friends from the states, another thing I haven't had a lot of time to do with my c...

Week 1 in London!

Ello! Sorry I have been gone for so long its been a very hectic couple of weeks. As most of you may know I am currently studying abroad in London! I arrived about a week ago and I am very excited for all the adventures and experiences I am going to have. During my time here I will be focusing more on my travels as opposed to fashion or other similar subjects, So I hope you enjoy following along on my adventures :) During my first week it was all about getting used to everything. I spent most of my time in orientations or getting to know the other people in the program, but I also spent a good amount of time sight seeing. One day we took a bus tour where we drove around parts of the city as well as walked around sites such as Buckingham Palace, The Globe Theater, and St. Paul's Cathedral. I had seen most of these sites when I was previously in London in high school but it was just as amazing to see them all again! The weather was also perfect and sunny that day which also ad...
