I had the amazing opportunity to travel abroad with my university.. not only to go out of the country for the first time in my life, but to visit a place I had only ever dreamed of going!
London has held a special place in my heart from the first moment I cracked open a Harry Potter book in the second grade. My eleventh birthday saw more tears than smiles from me because I didn't receive my Hogwarts letter. Needless to say, when I heard in the fall that a group from my college was going to be traveling there in the summer, I jumped on the chance, and never looked back.
It was one of the hardest things, saving for this trip. I set a goal, decided to put away $75 every week, and I made it! Honestly, I obviously loved the sightseeing and all the amazing things about London, and HELLO, Warner Bros. Studio Tour for Harry Potter, but the most important part of this was that I learned that I can be a responsible adult, I can save my money, and I can do what I set my mind to.
I loved every moment in London. I felt like for once in my life, I actually fit in somewhere without trying, no effort required. I immediately understood the tube (underground), I had no issues getting around, I had no problem understanding accents (haha!) and I was even in love with the weather.
London has my heart, and I can't wait to be there again.
