US Expat living in London
Many will tell you Stonehenge isn't worth it. I tell you it is. I really enjoyed it. My friends Peter & Liam invited me to join them on a jaunt out to see Stonehenge in their hired car for the day. It was such a nice trip! Those boys are great fun. The weather was... Continue Reading →
September 2018 brought my 1 year anniversary living and working in London. It's been amazing, challenging, exhausting but mostly it's been rewarding. I love my job and the people I work with. Living here has afforded me the opportunity to travel to places I never would have considered otherwise (eg Estonia, Poland). I spent much... Continue Reading →
A lot happened in the summer of 2018. Lots of rain, lots of heat, Trump visit, Trump protests, a wedding, the world cup, going out with friends and lots of photos of flowers and Regent's Park. On top of all of that my flatmate bought a place in King's Cross so we moved over there.... Continue Reading →
James and I headed to Kew Gardens in some absolutely perfect summer weather. I mean it was perfect for everyone but me, I am not a fan of the heat, I get a bit grumpy! Kew Gardens is an EXCELLENT out of town trip. It's about 45 minutes by tube from Central London and if... Continue Reading →
Next time you're in London be sure to book a visit to London's Sky Garden. You can only book a week or two ahead but there are multiple times to visit. It's easiest to get tickets during the week rather than on a weekend. My mom and I went the day after we returned from... Continue Reading →

We pulled off in random spots and were rewarded with some amazing views. We came across an Kylemore Abbey which is gorgeous -... Continue Reading →
The next 2 days we spent wandering our way up the West Coast of Ireland hopping on and off the Wild Atlantic Way We made our way from Kilcooly up thrugh the Cliffs of Moher and ending the day in an even more remote Bed and Breakfast in Clifden, Co. Galway. We took a ferry, ate... Continue Reading →
My mom had never been to Ireland, but wanted to go since I always seemed to sing it's praises. We decided when she was here to go for a week. We flew into Kerry and drove pretty much around the entire island (excluding the south) and flew back out of Kerry. I think she really... Continue Reading →
I was so blessed that my lovely Mom came to visit me! She arrived on American Mother's Day (different date than in England), and was here for her 65th Birthday! What a lucky girl I am to spend such days with her. I traveled to Heathrow to 'pick her up' by which I mean I... Continue Reading →
