Okay, so maybe my title is a tad bit misleading. I should clarify that we made it back to the US safe and in one piece, but it certainly felt like we were going to be stuck in London forever. As appealing as an elongated trip in the beautiful city sounds sounds, it did not […]

Beatles Tour Photo Gallery
On May 12th, 2019 our group had the opportunity to go on a Beatles Tour throughout Liverpool and the surrounding suburbs, such as Allerton, Wavertree, and Woolton. Our tour guide started off our tour by having us first stop at former Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr’s childhood home. We learned that through Ringo Starr’s life in […]
Day 11: Ghost Adventures – UK Edition
It is just mind blowing how fast this trip has gone. Each day seemed to last long, but as a whole, the two week adventure has flown by. Today was our last full day in the UK, and I feel like it was the perfect sendoff from Scotland in particular. I started the day by […]
Day Eight: The Happiest of Birthdays
When I read ‘MediaCity’ on the itinerary, I did not expect it to be such a literal description of my birthday setting. A jam-packed bus sang Happy Birthday to me and rode us from Liverpool into Manchester for the day and a night’s stay. We walked into a complex of buildings that included part of […]
Day 11: Fields of Gold – Sting
Today five us woke up to take on Arthur’s Seat at 10 am. The walk to the extinct volcano took us probably as long as it did for us to reach the top. We had to walk own the Royal Mile and through a little park to reach the path up to the peak (not […]
The pips are off to Scotland
Quick..someone teach me how to speak with a Scottish accent. Edinburgh here we come! Ugh, I have never been so excited to be somewhere. Don’t get me wrong England was beautiful, but I have been looking forward to Scotland for months now. The bus ride from the airport to the hotel it was pretty clear, […]
MediaCityUK
So sad to be leaving Liverpool, but onto Manchester we go! If I could stay here in this hotel room for the next five months, no question about it I would. I simply can’t get over the view or even the feel of this place. I think I might just belong here? The bus picked […]
Happy Mums Day
It’s Mother’s Day and I’m sadly not with my mom. As much as I wish she could be here in Liverpool with me, I know she’s happy just seeing me enjoying my time here. Today is the Beatles Tour that a lot of us have been looking forward too. We spent the morning getting to […]
Day 12: Alexa, play “Reborn”
Alexa, play “Reborn” by Kid Cudi. A dreaded day full of flying has finally come and we’re on our way back to Pittsburgh. Insert sobbing emoji here. I certainly plan on sleeping for part of the longer flight (rereading this days later, I actually only slept for a half hour so jokes on me), so […]
Day 11: Alexa, play “Rather Be”
Alexa, play “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit. I cannot express how excited I was that our free day was in Scotland. I never knew how much I wanted to go to Edinburgh until we were there and every sight was more breathtaking than the last. A few members of the group went hiking to Arthur’s […]
