Day Eight. The Final Day.

Last night was spent with great friends and family. We chatted over dinner at home (made by Mum, thanks!) and we headed into town for some more drinks and dancing. Despite the lack of people around, we danced the night away in concrete before finishing the night with some cheese, chips and gravy. I value...

Day Seven. Sunny Scotland.

My house in England is a few miles from the Scottish border, so it only made sense to visit while I was home. We drove up to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, to spend the day in the city. When we arrived we had a huge traditional breakfast outside in the sunshine. If you're familiar...

Day Six. Home Sweet Home.

For the first time we actually just stayed at home for a day and managed not to be traveling hours by plane or car! We spent the morning at home and the afternoon in Carlisle. Hailey and I both got our hair done by my best friend, Laura. She has her own salon in town,...

Day Five. Afternoon in the Lakes.

I can't tell you how nice it was to finally sleep in my own bed! We spent this Sunday afternoon in the Lake District. For those who don't know, the Lake District is the largest national park in England and has loads of lakes and mountains. It's beautiful. At noon we drove to the Pheasant...

Day Four. Looking for Leprachauns.

  Waking up in Ireland makes it the third morning in a row where I've woken up in a different country. Amazing, but definitely confusing for a second. Jet lag nearly got the better of me, but I managed to drag myself downstairs to where Sarah's Dad had cooked an awesome breakfast of sausage, bacon...

Day Three. Irish Night Out.

  Our flight to England was perfect. We had a whole row of seats to ourselves. The entire back of the plane was completely empty, so we spread out and tried to get as much sleep as possible before landing in England at 9:00am. After landing we grabbed a traditional English breakfast in the airport....

Day Two. Airport Fights.

Another day of traveling complete. Our one mission today was to make it from Hailey's house to JFK airport. We grabbed breakfast at 'The Bagelry' a local favorite, and then we hit the road. Hailey's Dad and Grandpa drove us to Newark airport where we caught a shuttle bus that would take us to JFK....

Day One: Road Trip.

Bag are packed and we're on the road. Today we drove down to Pennsylvania and are spending the night at Hailey's house before our flight leaves tomorrow. In the morning we will be making our way to JFK airport, New York for our night flight to Manchester, England. My morning started by waking up at 5:00am to work the...

Backpacking Around Europe for 27 Days.

Hallelujah. I'm finally done with all of my third year university work and I couldn't be happier that the summer is here. You may or may not know that this summer myself and my friend Hailey are going to be inter-railing around Europe for a month. Our trip begin in two days. TWO DAYS. I remember when...

My Biggest Adventure, Ever.

  In three weeks time I will be boarding a plane with my friend to travel across the world and spend a month inter-railing all over Europe. At this time of the semester university is just crazy. Everyone is totally stressed out. Finals are coming up, papers are due and exhaustion is beginning to peak....
