London Bound

Thursday through Sunday I'll be in London.

Weekend in Edinburgh

This last weekend I went to Edinburgh with my friends Lauren and Will. The city is quite beautiful. And if you think England is green then you need to travel a little more north. We tried to see as much of the city as we could while still leaving plenty of time to just wander around. We took a free walking tour (guided) and it was one of the best things on the trip, you get to see a great deal of the city as well as get some history and fun stories. We also did a pub crawl that night with through the same company that was also excellent.

Bright and early tomorrow morning I make my way to Sunderland!

The City of Sunderland

I am making my return to the UK and this time I am going up north to the City of Sunderland. I will be attending the University of Sunderland for a semester. I chose the university for their design program and I am looking forward to the new perspectives on design. I leave this Friday and I am excited to jump right in to this new adventure. Until then I am organizing my life in order to leave the country for a few months and saying my goodbyes (most have already happened). I don't know how often I will be updating but I will try to post brief snippets and photos from my life abroad as often as possible.
