My English Holiday

Hey y'all! Now, I know I've been away for a while, but it's because I've been globe trotting!

I am so thankful to have been able to travel to England and spend a few weeks there. I did some studying at Regent's University in London, where my classmates and I stayed, but most of my learning was done in my adventures! I had SO much fun!

Here is a picture I took of Regent's, the university I stayed and studied at. Check out that ivy, and that wisteria! It was so nice to wake up every morning, walk out on my balcony into the chilly morning air, and see the sun shining onto this building. Absolutely magical. 

Here is a view of Portsmouth Harbor. I got to spend a day there with my friend Liam (that's him in the picture), his dad Andy (one of my daddy's best friends) and their family! It was the best day, and I was so glad to spend the day with my "English family". My heart was so full. But also, my belly was- if you ever find yourself in Portsmouth, I suggest you do two things. First, take a walk along the water. No matter where you are in the city, it's amazing. Second, follow the waterline along into Old Portsmouth, where you'll find The Still West. This pub has a view to die for (you literally are on the edge of land) and the best fish and chips that I had in England. 

This snapshot was taken in Regent's Park. Just breathtaking. You have to take a walk there.

Here I am at the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street! OMG still fangirling!!! I love Sherlock!

The last weekend I was there, some friends and I went on a bus tour to Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, and The White Cliffs of Dover. I would absolutely suggest something like that if you're going to be in London the majority of your time. Getting out of the city is essential to your English experience, and these were some amazing stops. This photo is a side shot of Leeds Castle-- I would definitely suggest Googling it. Such an amazing history!

England is a magical place- if you ever get to go, keep a few things in mind; follow your heart around, see magic wherever you go, and eat your little heart out!
