Looking back at my time in London, it is hard to conceptualize everything that I have done so far and all that I still have left to do. Although I am quite excited to go home and see my family and friends, I must admit there is a small part of me wishing I could stay longer. From the price-friendly theatre tickets and free-admission museums to the ease of traveling across the rest of Europe, my experience living in London will certainly have a lasting impact. I'll be flying back to Rochester in early December, so I will certainly be making the most out of the rest of my time here!
I remember that when I first came to the U.K., I was stressed trying to navigate my way from the airport to my flat. I had a suitcase in each hand and a backpack weighing on my shoulders as I did my best to lead myself and a friend through a new city. Through both classes and other excursions, however, it was easy to fully immerse myself into London's rich culture. The lack of a language barrier was certainly helpful, and my determination to push myself to venture out and explore new places unlocked countless experiences that resulted in some of my favorite memories here.
