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.

Day 6: Alexa, play “Sugar We’re Goin Down”
Alexa, play “Sugar We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy. When you think of an small town in England, Stratford-upon-Avon is what comes to mind. The timber-frame homes, small marketplace and local shops made for cute Pinterest-esque photo opportunities during our short time in Stratford. Our main experience in Stratford was to be the guided […]

Day Six: I meet William Shakesbear
Today’s trip was interesting and exhausting. We woke up in Stratford-upon-Avon and began a guided walking tour of the town. During this we learned a lot about Shakespeare and his life there. This being said, it is interesting to note that a lot about Shakespeare is unknown. People often speculate about his life and what […]
