These are the top items that I noticed Londoners wear around the city! 1. Trench. So easy to pair with black jeans or a white dress around the city and a great item to wear year round. 2. Black. Londoners really like monotone colors and black hides the soot from the city. You could wear […]Read Post ›
Hey. It’s been a while. These pictures were from almost a year ago (do you see my bangs?!) from one of the BEST nights I’ve had so far in college. I think small venue concerts are the best concerts, especially at Velour! The place is so eclectic and cool with funky neon signs, brick walls, […]Read Post ›
Changing of the Guard – SKIP. It’s so touristy that there are hundreds of people outside Buckingham. Unless you get there several hours early to get right up to the gate, you’re not gonna see much. The Tower of London – SEE. The Crown Jewels are absolutely STUNNING and there is a diamond the size of […]Read Post ›
Dumfries is the place of my heritage and it’s been my Grandma’s dream destination for the last 30 years. She’s been researching the life of Thomas Johnston, my Grandpa’s forefather who left Scotland and sailed to America. He is the person who has made my family American (bah humbug Thomas, I wanted to stay Scottish!) […]Read Post ›
Tour the Highlands. You can get a bus tour that leaves out of Edinburgh, or if you’re like me, you’re going to want to rent a car. Loch Ness is too far north from the city, but you can hit points like the Wallace Monument, Little Fawn Waterfall, Loch Lomond, Doune Castle, and pass pastures […]Read Post ›
Liverpool is one of THE coolest cities I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend visiting there! Its this college town full of beautifully renovated factories that now make up brick shops, pubs, and hotels. The best way to see Liverpool is by each area, so here’s a map to orient yourself and the major areas […]Read Post ›
I really loved my time in Ireland with my family, but I feel like there were a lot of lessons learned with what to do and with not what to do… to the point where I know I’ll go back to Ireland to really experience the best of it! Antrim Coast Highway. A MUST DO. It […]Read Post ›
My time living on Palace Court is coming to a close. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone! London has been full of adventure and fun, but it’s also been a time of great reflection and deep thinking. I’ve learned so many new attitudes and skills in these moments I’ve spent in the […]Read Post ›
One thing I’ve noticed about Brits is that they are very frugal and environmentally friendly. Most people, even outside the city, live in small townhouses. In those townhouses are showers that firstly, have an “eco” option of running water, and secondly, are so small that it encourages you to turn off the water when lathering […]Read Post ›
Exploring the Kentish countryside was a complete joy. It was wonderful to laugh with friends, eat wild blackberries, hear George’s stories of the London Blitz and World War II, put wildflowers in my braids, hear the town bells ringing in the distance, splash through puddles in my Wellies, and weave through fields of golden wheat […]Read Post ›
