London Take Two: Day 9 – May 31, 2017 And Beyond
Last May, I traveled to London solo. Each day I wrote about my adventures in my London Take Two series… and never quite finished it! I still had one last post, about my final day, which sat in my blog folder for these past seven months until I finally brushed it off, polished it up, Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 8 – May 30, 2017
You know that feeling you get when you’re trying to grasp at something barely there, how in your half-asleep stage in the morning you’re trying to remember a dream that is fading fast from memory? Or when you have a sudden thought surge through your brain when – just before you can put it into Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 7 – May 29, 2017
When I rolled my suitcase off my plane a week ago and made my way towards the Tube, full of happy anticipation for what lay ahead of me, I knew that it would feel like no time at all had passed before I had to do it again, this time headed the other direction. Rather Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 6 – May 28, 2017
Where did the time go? When I wake tomorrow morning, I’ll only have two full days left head of me to explore London before I make my way to the airport Wednesday. Part of me feels like I’ve been here forever. I’m so used to the Tube, the sounds of the city, the traffic, the Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 4 – May 26, 2017
Be warned: This blogpost – very much like this entire day – is a long one! I’m beginning this at 10pm London time (2pm Arizona time) while sitting at my Airbnb flat’s dining room table with the terrace door open behind me so I can feel the fresh air and hear the sounds of the Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 3 – May 25, 2017
My brain and body were yelling at each other all day today. Brain: “Let’s go here! And here! And keep moving, keep moving, we have to go there, over, and also there!” Legs, feet, neck, back, arms: “BUT WHY.” Yep. Jet lag struck, and it struck with a vengeance. I woke up around 7:30am (11:30pm Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 2 – May 24, 2017
I briefly entertained the thought of taking this day easy when I woke up with the sun this morning (6am London time, 10pm Arizona time). And then I proceeded to explore city for nine straight hours. I woke up with no plan, really, though I did have a two-hour Tube tour booked to which I Continue reading

London Take Two: Day One (and One and a Half) – May 22-23, 2017
Earlier, as I dazedly walked through the crowded, bustling streets of London, rolling a small suitcase and double-checking my phone every five seconds to make sure I was getting where I needed to go, I found myself humming a line from the opening song from La La Land: “I could be brave or just insane… Continue reading

LONDON TAKE TWO: The One Week Before Departure Post
It’s happening. I repeat: It’s actually happening. A week from tomorrow, I land in London after close to four years of dreaming of the day I return. In June of 2013, I participated in a two-week long study abroad experience for the ASU School of Sustainability’s program during which I studied sustainability policy in governance. Continue reading
