Our final full day of the trip is here. It’s weird cause even after everything we’ve been doing exhaustion still hasn’t stopped me. Most of the group planned on making their way over to Arthur’s Seat today, the huge mountain in Edinburg. However a few of us didn’t want to wake up that early so […]

Buon compleanno David!
Waking up in Scotland was almost picture perfect. The room Dara and I shared looked right out onto the street, buzzing with people and shops. Getting up here was easy, because you truly looked forward to how the day was going to be spent. Today we got to visit two different places for media lectures. […]
Day 7: Wherefore Art Thou, Shakespeare
Fortunately we were only in that maze of a hotel for one night. We checked out of the hotel in the morning and went on a tour of Shakespeare’s birthplace near our hotel. We saw things like the school he attended when he was younger, the church he was buried in, and of course the […]
Day 2: Am I Allowed to Transfer a Second Time?
This morning, we made our way to Regents University. A beautiful campus in London, that you wouldn’t even guess was there. To start off this trip, we met with Jason Makenzie, who gave us an overview of the media landscape in the UK. Jason was a very interesting man and allowed us to have a […]
Day 6: We’ll Never Be Royals
Unfortunately we had to leave London this morning. Although I was sad to go, I was excited to see more of the United Kingdom and also hopeful that the next place we visited had less sirens. I ate some hotel breakfast and got on the bus to Windsor. Today was the day to visit the […]
Day 11: Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
Thursday, May 16, 2019 Im glad that our last day was free and I’m even more glad I took the day to explore by myself. All I really did was walk around, but it was just so beautiful. Being a Harry Potter nerd, I headed over to Greyfriars Kirkyard. There I was able to see […]
Day 10: Fringe and Obscurities!
Wednesday, May 15, 2019 Today was our last day of media visits! It was very bitter sweet. While I loved getting to listen to people who work in the creative field and I did learn a lot, I was very happy that I didn’t need to dress business casual anymore. I just really hate dress […]
Day11: Our Free day! Ft. Ghooosttts
After a long night with the group, we had all started the day at different points. I ended up starting my day with a late start. Dara, Julia and I slowly got our shit together and decided it was to gorgeous of a day to sit around, so we went for a hike to Arthur’s […]
Day 10: On the Fringe… Festival
Waking up in Edinburgh was awesome. The old city’s architecture was so incredible but we had our last media day to take care of with a marketing director of the Fringe Festival. The Fringe Festival is one of the largest festival in the world and occurs 250 times across the world. Olly Davis came to […]
Day Ten: Edinburgh Fringe and WhiteSpace
Another uphill trek lead us to the first media visit of the day. Ollie Davis is Head of Marketing for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It’s the largest arts festival in the world. It all started as rebellion toward the International Festival by 8 productions who turned up uninvited and performed on the fringes. This year, […]
