Scotland Part Four // London Exploring

With my time in Scotland done and an amazing time behind me, what came next was a couple of days visiting London. Though I had never been to London before (yes- it's true) the time that I spent there was absolutely amazing (and the weather wasn't half- bad either!) With five days in London done, here's what I got up too:





Though I got up too so much more, all of the exciting-ness got to me and pictures became scarce. 

What is next you may ask? The best has yet to come.

A Trip Abroad: The Start


Some of you may have noticed my absence lately and also my Tips for Packing a Makeup Bag. Yes my need for adventure is still strong but for the next six weeks they will be met before school kicks back into gear (yikes!) Although my lust for adventure has taken me loads of places (the beach, the mountains, etc.) traveling abroad is still something that I get giddy about. So, for the next six weeks I will be traveling around Europe. Although a month of my stay will reside in Scotland (for a summer academic program) the two weeks after are dedicated to tiring my travel bug. Where am I going you may ask? You will have to wait and find out because more and more posts will be happening. Am I nervous? Sure. Am I excited? Definitely!
I just wanted to give you a little update as to where I was and what is too come. 
I hope you look forward to what I have to show you because I am so excited to share!
