Today’s adventures thankfully began a little later than normal. We had a free morning and so I happily slept in until 9 a.m. After this I went to a cute little breakfast spot next to our hotel. This was one of the best meals I have had so far this trip consisting of the best […]

Day 1: Keep Calm and Carry On
I arrived at the airport at about 6:30, said goodbye to my mom and waited. I was really excited, my first trip to the UK, a place I’ve always wanted to go. When we get off the plane and we had finally arrived. The whole group was exhausted, but we had a great first day […]
Beatle Mania
I will admit I am not a Beatle’s fan. I knew that some days on the trip would not be as fun as others, and for me that was today. However, I do respect The Beatle’s and their influence on the world. As a One Direction fan, there were always comparisons to The Beatles and […]
Day 7: Here Comes the (Liverpool) Sun
We may have had a large dinner, but I still woke up ready for a delicious breakfast. Mya, Jocelyn, and I went to a nearby cafe for some pancakes, waffles, and coffee, and they did not disappoint. It was nice to be able to take our time in the morning since we didn’t have to […]
Day 6: Shakespeare – The Man or the Myth?
Oh the beauty of Stratford-upon-Avon. I wish I had more than just an afternoon to explore this small town and do as much sight seeing as possible. It felt similar to Windsor in the fact that it is much smaller than London and has a lot more land and nature to take in. Of course, […]
Day Four: UK Hearst
Hearst UK is a leading media company that publishes 19 magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Elle, and Good Housekeeping. Their office space was definitely the most awe-inspiring out of our media visits thus far, with offices and “ideation areas” throughout multiple floors of an office building, and an off-site building that contained a test kitchen and testing […]
Day 7: Brunch & The Beatles
For once, my day didn’t start early in the morning! We had the morning free, so I was able to sleep in and feel nice and refreshed for the day. I went to breakfast with Mya Burns and Maddy King at this cute cafe right outside our hotel called Rubens. I had a cinnamon and […]
Day 5: Visiting the Queen
Today was the day we said goodbye to London and hello to Windsor! After four busy days in the bustling city, it was refreshing to take a step outside of it all and experience the beauty of the countryside and smaller town of Windsor. As a fan of the Royal Family, I was extremely excited […]
Day 7: Alexa, play “Eleanor Rigby”
Alexa, play “Eleanor Rigby” by The Beatles. It’s Mother’s Day and I’ve only seen my mum once, maybe twice, in the last five months, so I’m missing her today – but I am certainly sending my love from the United Kingdom to the United States. <3 Back on track – it was relaxing to have […]
Day 4: Still Not Sure What PR Is
Another day, another media visit. Today we had two visits with two different PR agencies, Battenhall and Burston, Cohn, and Wolfe. First we walked to Battenhall. It was raining and the walk there was slightly disheartening, but my mood quickly improved once we got there. First of all, the office space was decorated in a […]
