I Cried While Writing This. Long Live London

Bye-Bye London, Hello Stratford (Upon Avon)
Stratford Upon Avon is vastly different from London in a multitude of ways. It is a much smaller, countryside town that has a variety of food options and overall feels clean. I feel comfortable when I walk the streets, and I feel happy to be outside of the big city. If there is one thing …
