On this weeks installment of Museum of the Week, my class took me down to the iconic Trafalgar Square to The National Gallery! The National Gallery is home to paintings galore by any and every famous artists you could think of. The class itself was based around the idea of the building itself, and how ...
Exploring Camden Market
When I’m not at Queen Mary reading away, my favorite thing to do in London is explore. Walking new streets and finding new things is pretty exhilarating to me.

Landing in London!
Here I am, sitting in my single bedroom dorm, having completed my first week in London. What I thought would be a hard adjustment period has really been quite easy. After getting off of a 6 hour over night flight, I found myself alone in a new city, and I couldn’t have been more excited. ...

Yes, escargot, that is exactly what I said. I promised myself I would never, ever, digest a snail; after all, they are slimy and not something most Americans view as a delicacy.

This market was unlike anything I have ever seen before. Once again, Camden Market, like all the other hidden gems in London had its own unique vibe. ...
