Best of 2017

December 27, 2017 || 1 Comment

Last year, I wrote a massively long Best of 2016 post and I still reread it constantly, every time I want to reminisce on how awesome that year was. I don’t know if anyone else found it as interesting as I do, but either way I really enjoyed writing it. This year, I was thinking […]

York May Be My Favourite Part of England

September 1, 2016 || 1 Comment

I grew up on British humour like Fawlty Towers. If you haven’t seen Fawlty Towers, please watch it – it is literally the funniest thing in the history of comedy. It’s a show by John Cleese (the funniest member of Monty Python) and basically all of my family’s jokes come from the show. My dad […]

A Walking Tour of the City of London

April 25, 2015 || 1 Comment

One of my goals for the summer is to become more cultured. As I’ve talked about, I don’t love museums because they’re not engaging enough for me, so I tend to skip learning a lot of important knowledge about the places I’m visiting. Certain aspects of history and culture absolutely fascinate me, like Greek mythology […]

After our awesome walking tour (read about it here) during our first few hours in London, we were eager to hit a few of the sights we had seen when we visited 9 or 10 years ago. Also on the list were things we’ve been sad about missing out on for 9 or 10 years, […]

Three Days in London

October 10, 2014 || 1 Comment

This is the last in a series of posts about my family’s England trip. Ever since my family left London, we have wanted to go back. This city seems to draw everyone in; it really has everything you could want, with the old-world charm that my love New York City is missing. We only had three days in […]

Day of Henges: Stonehenge and Avebury

September 4, 2014 || Leave a Comment

My family couldn’t go to England without hitting up Stonehenge, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country – and we couldn’t resist throwing another henge in there! From our home in the English countryside, we drove a bit over an hour to see Avebury Stone Circle first. It’s much less frequented than Stonehenge, and […]

Our Home in the English Countryside

September 2, 2014 || 3 Comments

One of the best trips my family has taken was to England 7 or 8 years ago. For about two weeks, we roamed the English countryside and hit all the main sights before packing as much of London as we could into a few short days. Although we all wish we had more time in […]
