This summer I was so lucky to be able to spend time with my friends abroad. The first stop was London, where I joined Yemisi before we hopped over to Italy for a totally stunning weekend. Of course I want to share all of the highlights, but it wouldn’t be a totally true account if I left out the not-so-wonderful bits.
Travel isn’t always as perfect or comfortable as a lot of travelers make it look. It’s easier to share the bright side of everything, but I want to make sure I’m being 100% true about my trips! From the very first step there were complications. My flight from Columbus was delayed, and then cancelled completely, and I was re-booked on truly ridiculous new flight plan I did not appreciate. I spoke with the representative at the gate (who agreed my new flight plan was silly) and he was able to work out a new one for me and get on me the way to London!
Once I was in London, it was pretty smooth sailing. Check out the first leg of my journey in a recent video post from my Youtube channel! We shopped, had tea time, and explored Shoreditch – which has very beautiful street art and graffiti! There was an attempt to stand in line for Platform 9 3/4, but the line was very long and decided to visit it again later (in an upcoming video!).
This was my second time in London, the last time I visited was in 2011 – many years ago. Although I’m not the biggest fan of London, but I did have a lot of fun. Avoiding mostly tourist areas was the plan for this part of the trip, and I believe that it made my stay there much more enjoyable. After a few days in this major city, I was more than ready for the hot and sunny land of gelato!
Stay tuned for fun in Italy!
Spending time with your friends abroad is awesome. Glad you did it. Tea time in London is much needed omg. I am so happy to see that you enjoyed yourself π
