Obviously things have taken a dramatic turn as I am almost a full week into quarantine. Things are okay, Dave and I don’t want to stab each other yet. Oh, and we might have already had coronavirus. Let’s back up. Monday I started work, which was really exciting. It wasn’t the busiest of days, as half the team was in our office, another office, and … Continue reading Quarantine Day 5
The worst part by far is the hysteria and lack of preparedness by the United States. As mentioned in the hundreds of articles you’ve probably read by now, the testing in the US is just not where it should be. This, and people’s energy, is what is scaring me the most right now. I can’t walk outside without being barraged with people in masks, or … Continue reading NYC Coronavirus Update
Here’s something I never thought I would be writing about! I have a lovely post I’ve been working on for you guys about Nice, France, but it just feels inappropriate to suggest places to travel to right now. When I sat down to post it today, it just felt wrong and I decided instead to talk about travel at the moment. I find it really … Continue reading Thoughts on Coronavirus & Travel
So as I mentioned last week, I have no travel plans for the future. That has somehow become profoundly untrue in the course of two days. I think I mentioned we will be hitting the West Coast for a trip in June. This has turned into a weekend in Seattle at the moment, which is exciting because Dave has never been. We will be there … Continue reading Throwback Wednesday(?)- Highlighting Why Your Next Trip Should Be To Brighton, UK
The fun thing about dating someone from another country is that you end up seeing much more of the country than you would otherwise. For example, before I met Dave, I studied abroad in London and visited a few other cities in the UK. I had been to Edinburgh, Bath, Windsor, Oxford, and Birmingham. Now, I end up flying to the UK, and I don’t … Continue reading East Grinstead, a Place Much Nicer Than it Sounds
As my blog is starting to develop more, I’m finding there are other things I want to write about besides just London & NYC. Mostly still travel related though. I mentioned in my last post that we are heading to the UK this weekend for a wedding. Dave and I are flying back together on Monday, but he is flying out tomorrow night and I … Continue reading Book Recos February 2020
Although my intention was to have my blog be focused on the UK and all of the travel we do there, we do travel other places too. Last weekend, we took an impromptu trip to Beacon, NY. Only an hour and a half with no traffic from NYC, Beacon provided the perfect afternoon escape. It is located in Dutchess County, and has a very rich … Continue reading A Change of Scenery & Break from NYC
For our second day in Oxford, we tried to squish in as much as possible. The McDonald Randolph has a very highly rated spa, so we started our day with facials. Dave had never had one before, and I am very picky so it was a mixed experience. He enjoyed his, and said it was very relaxing, and I think he is keen to do … Continue reading Oxford Pt. 2
Our last trip to the UK was over Christmas, and any time we’re in the UK, I try to combine a visit with a little vacay, (or holiday as the brits say). As I recently decided I want to pursue my PhD in the UK in a few years, I decided we would be hitting up Oxford for a brief overnight stint. One of the … Continue reading Recent Trip to Oxford Part 1
This post will feature all of my London recommendations, which I hope to continually update as I do more fun things & recommend them. I am hoping to do different posts for different cities! As always, feel free to reach out with any questions, or suggestions of your own. xx j General London Tips Going there, the jet lag is WAY worse than on the … Continue reading The Basics: A Guide to a UK Trip
