First Experience In London
London, a City I did not take to be so complex but simple. Let me explain… First, I don’t think I ever thought I would find my self traveling overseas to a destination anything like this. After spending a full day or two worth of traveling, I find it hard to believe at times that …
The Tube and Straight Line Crazy
For my journey to the London Tube Stations, I found it rather simple once I began to navigate it. At first, as most things, the challenge seemed vary daunting. To my surprise, navigating the tubes and stops was really as easy as simply reading a map. The tube was very similar to the New York …

London, The Tube, & Straight Line Crazy
May 24th-25th The majority of my first moments in London were spent in pure exhaustion trying to recover from the flight. I feared that I would get no sleep, so I was adamant about walking around the city to keep myself awake. After situating myself in the hotel, I set out with my roommate to …
