On May 23, 2019 I graduated magna cum laude from Pace University with a bachelors in communication studies and a minor in journalism. Then 4 days later I took a trip to London as a graduation present to myself. Honestly, I just wanted to get a way for a little bit. I didn’t really want to feel the pressure of trying to dive into my career immediately. I wanted to allow the end of my college career to sink in. As I go through the emotions and journey of finding my path, I will keep you all updated on this blog. But for now, here is a recap of my trip.

WHAT TO DO IN LONDON

• The weather changes frequently so pack a jacket and an umbrella, because it rained 3/4 times a week while I was there.

• Download city mappers. The tube (subway) is easy to navigate and it works offline. I recommend getting a weekly pass. I spent more money refilling my card everyday (big waste of money).

• Don’t go shopping! TOO EXPENSIVE! but if you do shop, you get your tax refund back at the airport, so let them know you need the tax back.

• Food portions are extremely little

• Sightseeing is free. There is so many things to see in London

• You can travel to multiple places while in Europe! Try backpacking ;)

• Cafe’s are pretty good

• Download VIAVAN to get you from point a to b. Its like Uber but cheaper

• A friend of mine sent me things to do in London but didn’t get to do everything so check out the screenshots below.
