London at night is a different world compared to London during the day. It is a world I rarely experience as the sun doesn’t set until 10 PM {seriously}, and my bedtime is about 9:45 PM {actually}.
As I innocently attempted to be a tourist this weekend, and check ‘Trafalgar Square’ off my 30 day list, I stumbled upon an Anti-Brexit march. I had no idea more than 10,000 people would be joining me on my excursion to this famous London landmark.
The irony of being in Britain, on a day we celebrate gaining American independence from Britain. All the while, wrapped up in the middle of Brexit, and Britain determining their own independence from the European Union. What a time to be alive people.
But today also marks my own independence. My last California girl is leaving me this week, so I am holding it down for America solo from now on.
With all of the craziness involving Britain leaving the EU, and the presidential election back home, I am looking forward to four months of vacation in countries less involved in the madness. It is a monumental time to be alive, whether you agree or disagree with the direction your country, or the world, is moving.
For all of those at home BBQing by the pool, floating down the Russian River, and lighting illegal fireworks in the street: I envy you.
Enjoy all of the freedoms we, as Americans, are granted. Rather than taking them for granted.
Today’s blog post is full of inspiration, updates, and memories. Just an opportunity to sit down with you guys and chat before I board my plane to Sweden tonight. Fear of flying leads to procrastination and diversions.

But for now, here is my second installment about my weekend spent in Bath! Continue Reading
This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting family in Bath. I arrived Friday evening and spent 48 exploring the village. Unfortunately, while on my visit, my phone completely shut down and died. RIP iPhone 5c. Luckily, my new phone is ready to be picked up back here in London!
But who needs a phone when you have an entire weekend of exploring? I am going to share my 48 hours in Bath to give a quick summary and {as usual} a photo overload. Here is Day 1! Continue Reading
