Before School started some of us nerdy folks wanted to check out the museums around town. It’s been nice to get to know some people from class before school, anxiety and rain tears us apart. The Science Museum (Great name right?) Being that former colonialist empire means London’s museums (among many other things) got… Read More To space! For Science, glory and stuff
Museum no. 2! I had to take two trips to the National Gallery. It’s pretty overwhelming and has lots of great stuff. Many of the items in the gallery belonged to the Royal family. Basically there are some amazing things here. It’s located right on Trafalgar Square. So you can look out and see Admiral… Read More Dukes, Duchesses, Bronzino & Monet
I went to my first Opening here in London Town! Woohoo! I invited fellows from my cohort but no luck. I went all by my lonesome and had a good time 🙂 For those of you wondering, *cough* MUM *COUGH* I did talk to people okay? I just didn’t make any lasting friends or… Read More London Museum of Transport- Late Night!
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

There are multiple sections and divisions though generally between artworks and artifacts. The artifacts really show just how wealthy the Holy Roman Empire was. Often they… Read More Wonders and Kunstkammers
So after my great solo day, I was able to meet up with the talented, lovely and charismatic Alyssa. It was really great to see her and chill a bit. We actually met through Museums- we were both volunteers at Roedde House Museum a few years ago! Naturally, we managed to see a few: Knoblauchhaus… Read More Berlin Buddies
Like One Direction, I am taking sometime for myself. First stop: Berlin! Guten Tag! Full disclosure, I didn’t really choose Berlin as such. One of my lovely friends from Vancouver was going to be there! It was thrilling, fun and a little scary to be honest. When I travel, I’m usually either with someone I… Read More Going Solo!
For our final stop in Spain we went to Madrid, of course! We all really liked Madrid and want to spend more time there. Though I have no idea how I would survive with a nightlife that starts at 10pm and goes pretty strong till about 3am. Let’s just say it ends way past my… Read More Madrid: Museums, Plazas & Nightlife
Welcome to Toledo, part 2! Where we visit two different Museums. What a surprise!
