THE ULTIMATE TRAVEL GUIDE TO LONDON

Prepare yourselves, this is going to be a long one.

I felt it was about time that I created an ‘Ultimate Guide’ to my favorite city in the world. I am actually extremely proud of how many things I accomplished while living in London. It’s true that you will never find yourself complaining of boredom in London. To create this guide, I simply sat down one night and began listing the places I visited and the meaningful experiences I shared, and so began the guide to England’s largest, and most diverse, city.

What to Know Before Visiting Auschwitz

Visiting Auschwitz concentration camps in Oświęcim, Poland last year was by far, the most educational experience I’ve ever encountered in my life. I do not believe I will ever manage to put into words just how much of an impact it made on me. Recalling my visit now disheartens me, and it is honestly difficult to write about. But I feel it is important for us to reflect on history, in the hopes that it will never repeat itself. Continue Reading
