Ever sat on a microwave for 5 hrs? They aren’t that comfy but when all your stuff is being packed up to move abroad you can’t be picky with your seating arrangements. It’s weird seeing your life being put into boxes and wrapped in brown paper. You might be thinking, wow, all of my life can fit in that one…

The only Fall Bucket List you are ever going to need
I’m living in America now and I may as well accept it. And what better way to do that than through a Fall Bucket List? – Become used to calling Autumn, “Fall” Fall = Autumn in British English.

Leave a CommentThe definitive guide to Rhodes for History nerds
Rhodes has a special place in my heart as ti was the last destination of mine and David’s honeymoon. And it was the perfect destination for two history nerds. (CUTE) We spent 4 days on the island exploring every ancient area of interest we could. Because we didn’t get enough of that in England… Stay near the Old Town of…
Leave a Comment5 unique British habits America needs to adopt today
America is obsessed with the Britian. (The UK is also obsessed with America but thats a story for another day). They love the Royal Family, the accent, the period dramas (anyone seen the Downton Abbey film yet?!!)

Leave a Comment5 things Game of Thrones fans need to do in Dubrovnik
Ok, I’m not going to lie the main reason why my family and I visited Dubrovnik was to take part in some intense Game of Thrones tourism. And it did not disappoint.

2 Comments5 reasons to LOVE the Lake District
Having grown up in the South East of the UK, I never really ventured “up north”. To me it was a distant place shrouded in rain, clouds and the sometimes beautiful, sometimes utterly incoherent Northern accent. (Go listen to Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys talk, you’ll see what I mean). Aside from York (which I ADORE) and then Scotland,…
Leave a CommentHow I survived the Visa processs
The visa process sucks. But it sucks even more if you’re not being realistic, like me. like to think I am a reasonably sensible person. If I’m doing something new, I’m not going to do it perfectly on the first try. (But I’ll get it on the second right??) When I’m out, I know no one is really looking at me and…
2 Comments10 things to do in Cambridge, by an ex-local
When I’m thinking of home, Cambridge is definitely the first place that comes to mind. It’s the city where I grew up, went to school, met some life long friends, got drunk for the first time, had my first kiss, and dated my husband. So I obviously hated it and couldn’t wait to leave. Its actually a really cool place,…
