We sure did dance at our first professional theatre show in London! The Royal National Theatre was a great venue and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It felt more relaxed than theatres back in the States, with security being a bit lighter and everyone being super friendly. Having a food truck court outside created a …

No Dancing at Lughnasa…
Last night we saw our first show at the National Theatre. The theater was smaller than I thought it would be. Also the color of purple that the seats were so cool to look at. The seats were also comfortable which was a plus. I also really appreciate how cold they kept the theater during …
Dancing at Lughnasa
Today we saw our first play of many – Dancing at Lughnasa at the National Theatre. This show definitely had it’s ups and downs. Some of the things that I really enjoyed about the show were the technical aspects, I loved how deep / far back the set went. It made the set look bigger, …
First day in Londeeernn
After two days that felt like one, I have finally arrived in London, England. A whole other country whatttttttt?? Being here in London feels strangely familiar. Like I have been here before and already know how it works. Using the tube was super simple; perhaps that is because I have used the subway in NYC …
Hirschy Highlight: I Survived.
Two flights, one screaming baby, four noisy neighbors, two very bland meals, one fully-booked flight, two facial scans, and three bags later, and I have officially arrived in London. I have officially set my feet on foreign soil and breathed in the fresh air that smells nothing like home. I will say, even now, I …

My first impressions of London were great! I embarked on a journey of traveling for more than 24 hours but it was so worth it. Traveling separately from the group was interesting and a bit lonely, but I got to read and sleep a lot so it wasn’t so bad. I had the best butter …
Party in Piccadilly!
It’s our first day in London! Even with constant waves of exhaustion and zero sense of direction, I made it off the plane. I survived my very first international flight, and I can’t wait to venture out into the unknown. Today, as soon as we got to our hotel and settle, we decided to explore …
Planes, Tubes, and Piccadilly Circus
At last! We are finally here in the beautiful and historical city of London! This was my first time traveling to another country and surprisingly, my flight experience was better than I had anticipated. I slept most of the way from Dallas to London. I now have a crick in my neck despite my best …
“Look at that McDonald’s!”
Today, we landed at London Heathrow airport at around 12:30 pm after a nine-hour flight and we wasted little time before we began exploring the historic city. Driving into the city, we were treated to quintessential English architecture including an interesting multi-story brick McDonald’s. Our stops for our first day were the tourist geared Piccadilly …
Finally Made It!
A lot of firsts have happened already for me upon arriving in London: Nine hours in the air is no small feat and neither is the jet lag that I am feeling, as I am typing this blog post at a mere 10pm but it feels like 1am. The flight was one that was filled …
