April 25-26, 2019 On the bus into York, it was raining so much that I could hardly see out the windows. I dreaded the 20-minute walk from the bus station to my hostel when I arrived, except somehow it stopped raining for exactly the 20 minutes that I had to walk – miracle! The hostel was actually super nice. I was staying in a 16-bed … Continue reading York, England
April 24, 2019 After sharing my UK itinerary with friends, family, and people in my hostels, the most common question I always got was, “Why are you going to Birmingham?

She was a little quiet and socially awkward on … Continue reading Passover Seders in London

I had planned to sleep in a little bit, but at 7am there was a gaggle of Russians in my hostel room who turned on the lights, were talking at full … Continue reading The London Express
April 18, 2019 So, in a way, my trip to London and the UK was a little bit random. I had two weeks to fill between my trip to Nice and meeting Momo in Portugal on May 5.
