I honestly can’t believe I only have a month left in the beautiful UK! This semester has been so thrilling and I can’t believe it’s quickly coming to a close. I’ve traveled to four different countries (one more on the way), made tons of new friends, expanded and challenged my mind to try new things, eaten lots of great food, and occasionally done something out of the ordinary!

Since I last updated I have travelled to Dublin, Edinburgh, and Florence. All such beautiful places and each has something different to offer. I absolutely fell in love with all of them! Traveled with some roommates to Dublin and we had such an amazing time. It’s a must see and you will have the time of your life. I visited friends in Edinburgh and Florence which was also a great experience because they gave me an inside view of what it’s like to actually live inside the cities instead of being a tourist in them. Polar opposites, but both worth the trip!

Currently in London there are so many fun activities going on that none of us have wanted to miss out on.. rain or shine! The poppy’s are out and about for the annual World War 1 memorial at the Tower of London- it’s stunning and so cool to see how many people truly care and appreciate others for what they have sacrificed for us. The other night we went to Oxford St. to see the first set of Christmas lights turn on. It was a blast and really got me excited for the best time of the year. My aunt and cousin visited this past weekend and I finally conquered the London Eye and made a visit to Harrod’s, both were so much fun.

Gotta run!
