I can finally check off studying abroad off my bucket list! London is a fantastic city, and I would love to go back one day. One of the things I thoroughly enjoyed about this trip was the fact that before we went we learned about certain sections of London and landmarks. As example it was very exciting to learn about St. Paul’s cathedral and then actually go inside the cathedral learn even more about the churches history.
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”- Neale Donald Walsch
The quote above could not be more true for this trip. The whole trip in general was out of my comfort zone since we were in a different country and needless to say life really does begin when you get out of your comfort zone. On our free day Taylor and I traveled by train then by bus to the city of Brighton. I was so nervous to venture out on our own with only a map, and little knowledge on the train/bus systems since we could not use our phones as clutches since we did not have data. Our free day turned out so well this summer I may turn off my phone and just grab a map and take a road trip to somewhere in the states. Thanks to this trip I feel more confident in getting out of my comfort zone, which will make life more eventful in the long run.
Overall I enjoyed London and would go back again, but I would also love to explore more of the UK and other parts of Europe. I am now itching to travel and see more of this beautiful world.
