With one final morning in Liverpool, our next destination was Manchester. The distance between Manchester and Liverpool was about 45 minutes by bus.

Scotland Bound: Day 9
It’s Pronounced Edin “Bruh” not Edin “Burrow” Early Tuesday morning, we left on a bus and traveled to the airport where we would get on to a flight that was Scotland bound.

Edinburgh: International Man of Mystery
Today we left Manchester and jetted off to Edinburgh, Scotland for the final days of our travels. I must say, the Manchester Airport is honestly a nightmare. Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, but I felt like I was in a different dimension. The flight was short, and before I knew it we were in […]
Day 6: Shakespeare meets the U.S.
Waking up in Stratford was way different than in London, in the big city there are people moving pretty much all the time. In Stratford there was nothing moving at 7 am. I woke up early to run to the store and buy a jacket but nothing was opened till like 9. Before i went […]

BBC & Manchester
Short post today because I have been feeling very under the weather. We left Liverpool and headed towards Manchester/Salford today. We met first with Dr. Annabel Waller.

Day 5: It’s Called Fashion, Look it Up
Today was the day that I was looking forward to the most as far as media visits go. We visited Hearst UK, which is a media publishing parent company that owns many very popular and well-circulated magazines in the UK such as Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and Elle (which was the one I was the most […]
