It’s hard to believe that I only have 2 more days left in London before I go home. I am not going to do a look back at my time until I land in the States and really think about the experience as a whole. However, I will catch you all up on what I…

Amsterdam
I decided to make one final tri[p out of London before my trip comes to an end in a week and a half. Some friends and I decided that we should go to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Amsterdam is a beautiful city and feels extremely European. There are man-made canals that circle the main…
Thanksgiving in London
It’s hard to believe that we are moving into December, which means the end of my study abroad experience. Therefore, I am trying to see and do as much as I can within the next 3 weeks. This past couple of weeks haven’t been insanely crazy for me but I have still gotten to see…

One Week Down
I am currently writing this blog while eating lunch in Kensington Garden overlooking Round Pond and Kensington Palace. I have officially been in London for one week now and I’m finally settling in. Since my last blog, I have visited some of the historic sites around the city, while also starting my internship and my…
