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. It only took a bit longer than the Tube and we got to see Camden and the Markets. There are 4 markets… Read More Houses in Hampstead
It’s reading week! Yay! Last term, I went on my great northern adventure to Edinburgh. I’m sure you all remember it well! Yes? Okay good! If not check out the first post here X.

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. Some of the holiday decorations are still up and it’s a little magical at night. After getting to our hotel we decided to take a walk. Any guess… Read More Amsterdam Adventures
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. I honestly expected Cathy to call out for Heathcliffe somewhere (though that would only happen in the North, not here in the… Read More BBC Masterpiece Theatre
In my latest adventure I headed out to Kew Gardens! I met some of my fellow Museum Studies students there and we were off. Most of my flatmates have actually moved in and I’ve been getting to know them a bit. One of them is actually a fellow Museum Studies student who’s Canadian-… Read More Pretty Kew-t
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!

Often they… Read More Wonders and Kunstkammers
