Adventure Weekend
This past weekend, 14-16th October, I spent in the Lake District. The trip was part of my program’s included events. Adventure Weekend, as it’s called, is a time for active and adventurous souls to climb mountains, scramble gorges, and hike trails.

First Post!
Hello all! I’ve decided to keep a blog while I study abroad here in England and for my travels around Europe. It will help consolidate my photos and journal entries into one neat package (or.. parcel?).
I arrived in London the morning of the 12th of September 2011 (i.e. a few days ago). It was a long journey, which was made all the more complicated due to the flooding in my area of...
