Today’s journey began bright and early. We loaded up our luggage and got on the bus to leave London. It was bittersweet because I loved the city but was also excited to begin to see the English countryside. The bus ride took us out to Windsor Castle. Walking out of the bus and into the […]

Not today, bad vibes.
Gratitude should be included on every packing list. The ugly, nasty side of people is best left at home. Luckily, I am a card carrying member of the good vibes gang. The weather, however, is not influenced by my mindset. Rain decided to come and go throughout the day, leaving only once we got inside […]
Day 4: Last London Day
Today started out with a Starbucks run, only to find out that the drink sizes are not the same in the UK. A venti here in the UK is significantly smaller than the US version, much similar to the US size grande. After getting coffee and porridge (oatmeal), we headed off to start our long […]
Day 3: Alexa, play “Nice For What”
Alexa, play “Nice For What” by Drake. Everyone, literally everyone, that our group has encountered on this trip has treated us so kindly. Every interaction with locals, specifically with the individuals at our media visits, has been pleasant and positive. When we arrived at Battenhall’s office, cookies and water awaited us on the conference table. […]
Day 5: Goodbye London, hello Windsor
We left London this morning and headed out to Windsor Castle. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide that took us around the town before we headed onto the castle grounds. The grounds themselves were gorgeous and it was a really nice day for walking around. No pictures we’re allowed inside the castle or […]

Windsor Castle – Fury Road
Today was a bittersweet day. I was off to a sad start because we, unfortunately, had to leave London to continue our journey throughout the rest of the United Kingdom. Don’t get me wrong, I am beyond excited to continue our travels, but I am so taken by this city and I don’t ever want […]
Day Four: We were guaranTEAd a good time today
I never thought I would find a city I loved almost as much as I love New York. Anyone who knows me knows that New York City is 100% my place… but then I came to London. The way I’ve been describing London to my family and friends is a New York vibe but in […]
Day Four: We Attempt a British Candy Mukbang (Video to follow)
Today we had a very long day but it was also really fun. It was also our last day in London and we leave for Windsor and Stratford-upon-Avon tomorrow. While attempting to get breakfast, we realized that the line was too long so we ended up at the ever-trustworthy Starbucks. I was confused at first […]
Day 4: Hearst UK and… Aladdin?!
Today’s media visit was a four hour long experience with Hearst UK. It is amazing how generous they were with their time. We were welcomed with snacks and then toured their new facilities in small groups. One of the spots I found most fascinating was their library/archive section. There were editions of magazines bound there […]
