Seeing Romeo and Juliet at the Globe was something I was very excited about, but it wasn’t something that I thought would stand out in the trip the way that it did. In fact, as soon as the show began, I could tell this would be one of the best shows we saw on the …

Leonardo DiCaprio is Screaming, Crying, and Punching Drywall Right Now
Last Friday I got the privilege of watching the best Romeo and Juliet production I have ever seen (yes, including the 1999 film by Baz Luhrmann). Now before you all come at me with your pitchforks, there were two aspects that informed this decision: the play itself and the fact that it was at The …

Globe Theatre :)
Upon entering the Globe, I was in awe of the architecture. It was beautiful, and as I secured a decent standing spot I thought about how this was someone’s life at some point. Not just a novel experience like it was for me. I also briefly thought about Good Omens, and how much it would …
R&J&The Globe
I had always assumed that the Globe Theater was the original building from the 1600s. In my mind there was no way that such a monumentally important building would have been destroyed and remained that way. When I learned that the Globe that currently stands was built in the 90s I worried I wouldn’t feel …
Around the Globe in 180 Minutes!
The Globe was an amazing experience! Walking up to it feels truly like going back in time. I’ve been noticing that a lot about London as a whole. While it is absolutely a city that is in the 21st century complete with glass skyscrapers galore, there are pockets of old buildings peppering the streets to …
May 29: Sleepy Joy, Healing Water, and Fancy Tea
This day started out with a lovely train ride, in which I realized just how much I enjoy transit. Staring at the world passing by, listening to music, resting against the window, I felt at peace. So at peace, I started to nod off. Bath was beautiful. It was almost as busy as London, but …

Splish Splash, I Spent A Day in Bath
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a HUGEEE history nerd. Some of my favorite time periods to learn about are the ancient Romans, and Jane Austen’s Regency era. Bath is basically both! Spoiler alert, I LOVED it there. Everything from the museum, the town, and the train ride from Paddington Station (even if I didn’t …
BAAATTTHHH!!!! but not in a tub!!
took a big bubble bath on Thursday!! actually, we couldn’t touch the water because it was untreated and would probably infect us – but just seeing and learning about the Roman Baths was enough for me! Wowowow. I had no idea what these were before getting to them in real life, and I had no …
The Beauties of Bath (Not Shower)
As the sworn president of the Insane People Jane Austen Stan Club, I will admit that my opinion of Bath might be a little biased. However, Bath was one of the most incredible places I have ever been to, and that is a hill I will die on. Between the Jane Austen Museum, the Roman …
Bath!!!!
The Roman baths were a beautiful architectural site, and while the history was not an area of particular interest to me I was still able to appreciate the work put into the construction of the site. By far my favorite part of the baths were the carvings and statues scattered throughout the building. The one …
