A Magical Day in Potter’s Land (London)

June 2019 Mom and I woke up to another walk. Our hotel was in a location in which we could easily walk to many major London landmarks, but the general surroundings were quiet. We reached the Palace Theatre with time to spare, which was good because we had to pick up our tickets and wait …

The Trifecta of Old England

July 2019 I hit many of my bucket list destinations today. To start our journey, Mom and I walked for an hour, but some of it was through Kensington Gardens! We walked nearly the entire latitude of the park and saw Kensington Place from afar. We hadn't even reached the tour meeting-place yet! Our journey …

Another Adventure… Solo (Dallas, London)

May/June 2019 I reached the airport in a fit of excitement, but I realized I also felt more relaxed. My third solo-travel airport visit passed smoothly. I was getting quite good at this sort of thing. In fact, I realized I traveled even more than my dad! On the plane, I was seated near the …

Exit from England – June 14 – 17, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 Today we were leaving Brussels and going back to England for a few days. Once again, we were taking a Eurostar train from Brussels. This time there was less fuss, but at one point there was so much traffic (we went in a cab), I got worried we were going to be …

Chocolate!!! – June 13, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 Yay! Today I was going on a chocolate tour, but first, breakfast. We went to a place called Peck 47. I got blueberry oatmeal and juice. After that healthy breakfast, we walked to the Markt Square (yes, I spelt that right, it means market) to eat looads of chocolate and learn about …

Spontaneously Bruge – June 12, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 Today we got free breakfast from the hotel. It was a good thing we didn't have to pay for it, because it was horrible. There weren't many options, and even though the bacon was good, it was not worth €30. After "breakfast" we walked to the Brussels walking tour, 15-20 minutes early. …

I Go to a Place That Mom has Never Been – June 11, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 This morning was very interesting. We had a huuuuge bag, so we had called for a taxi to take us to the station, where we were supposed to take the train. However, there was a marathon on Rue De Rivoli, the only street you could take to get to the hotel. Instead …

Palace of Versailles – June 10, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 This morning, I actually woke up sort of on time. My mom had woken me up slightly early because we were going to the Palace of Versailles, one of the top things to do by tourists visiting  Paris.  After getting ready, we walked to Pret-a Manger for breakfast. Then, we took a …

Cathedrals & Ice Cream – June 9, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 Hurry! Once again, that was my mom, rushing me from my sleep. Quickly, I took a shower and got ready. Why? We were going to Sacre Cour (The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart) and it quickly filled up with a pulsating mass of humanity known as tourists, or us. After getting ready, …

My Friend Lisa – June 8, 2017

Solo Adventurer 2.0 This morning I woke up really late, around 10:00 am. We had planned to go to the Louvre, but were worried that the crowds would be to great to conquer. Luckily, we didn't even have to wait in a line to get in the Louvre. The entrance itself was amazing, an intricate …
