Exploring London Neighborhoods, Shoreditch
London is home to many different neighborhoods, each with its own unique identity. So far one of my favorite places to go, day or night is Shoreditch. Now Shoreditch is what one may call a hipster hub of some sort. Complete with coffee shops most millenials would enjoy, and old shipping containers turned into shops, ...
60 Degrees and Sunny, a Weekend Away in Malta
During my study abroad experience I’ve been lucky enough to take some of my weekends to travel around Europe. So far I’ve been able to experience a great mix of what Europe has to offer. I’ve found myself in city life in Amsterdam, in the skiing world of the French Alps and most recently the ...

The professors who are striking at Queen Mary are part of the University and College Union, which called the ...
Getting to the Airport is Hard
No doubt in my mind, getting to and from the airports in London is the hardest part of traveling. Being abroad in Europe you always hear about how easy it is to get from London to Europe, and that’s true, it is very easy once you get on the plane. But I have found that getting ...
