A Friend in England + Oxford
Well, I’m off enjoying some wine tasting today for my birthday, but I wrote a recap yesterday for you all to hopefully enjoy! 🙂 While studying abroad I was so blessed to have many visitors. If you remember, my dad flew over to England with me, and my second visitor was one of my best […]
Bath, England
Hello hello! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! I am headed to a Writing Center conference today…and I had to get up at 5:30. Not fun on a Saturday, but I’m thinking the conference will make up for that! (I wrote this post Friday night, if you were wondering! 😉 ) […]
Stonehenge
Good morning, everyone! And Happy Friday!!! My next recap of my study abroad trip will take us to Stonehenge. This trip was also a part of the British Life and Culture class that I took at Kingston Uni. We actually also went to Bath on the same day, but I’ve decided to split the two […]
Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace One of my absolute favorite places in England was conveniently about five minutes from Kingston by bus. Hampton Court Palace was built beginning in the 1500s for King Henry VIII, but was added on to in the late 1600s by William III, who intended to make it rival Versailles (source). This combination […]
Windsor Castle
Allllright. It turns out that pretty much from the start of my study abroad experience in London, my camera’s calendar was way off. Therefore, I probably will not be posting on the exact days that I took the pictures last year, as I had hoped to do, but rather around the time and day that […]
Brighton Trip
Traveling to London was such a great experience, but it wasn’t all fun and games. Because I was there as a university student, there was also some work to it. I had classes and homework, and couldn’t just spend all of my time wandering around towns and palaces and stuff. 😉 I took four classes […]
The First Day of August
Hello again! And Happy August! (Seriously?…where did July go???) I apologize for my lack of posting lately…as the summer winds down, I seem to be getting busier and busier while trying to fit in appointments, finishing up my online class (finally!), working, and finding time to spend with friends and family. WIAW Isn’t this a […]
Six Months Ago
Six months ago I returned home from the best experience of my life: studying abroad in Kingston-upon-Thames, London, England. To commemorate my amazing journey, I thought I’d share some pictures I took during a walking tour of London that my dad and I took one of the first days that I was there. I hope […]
WIAW + Thursday Thoughts
Hello! Happy day before the day before the weekend! A continuation of my (attempt at a) new trend, WIAW, can be found below, as can Thursday Thoughts, which I haven’t done in a while. Please feel free to leave some of your own thoughts – sometimes I feel like a crazy person, talking to myself. […]
Liverpool Recap: Day One
Well, it’s a pretty lazy Sunday afternoon around here, so I thought I’d do another travel recap post! During early November 2011, when I was studying abroad in England, my mom and I amazingly had the same exact week off of school and work. She had already bought her plane ticket to visit during that […]
