Exciting news! I have a visitor- mum is here! YAY! For our first adventure we decided to head up towards Hampstead. We ended up taking the bus from central London to Hampstead.

Mum, Pater and I are visiting Amsterdam! They’ve got some friends here so it’s worked out beautifully. It’s a gorgeous city with lots of canals and bridges.

Mum and I managed to visit the Museum of London! Pater had to work unfortunately. He really missed out. We ended up taking a double-decker bus there which was fun.

It’s READING WEEK! And since Ryanair was having a sale, I made the rash (but excellent) decision to head up north. The flight to Edinburgh took only an hour and cost me 8 pounds (so like 12$USD). The Canadian dollar is still doing so poorly I tear up at the thought of it. Le sad.… Read More Aye, Scotland
My programme takes us on field-trips! For the first one we went down south. It was pretty sweet! For our first stop we went to the set of a Dickens/ Bronte film.

In my latest adventure I headed out to Kew Gardens! I met some of my fellow Museum Studies students there and we were off.

And here we go! Yet ANOTHER Museum. I did warn you guys in the bio. Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien It’s big, beautiful and has lots of wonderful treasures inside!
